Island Designs

After learning all about the Isle of Struay everyone designed their own island. Their challenge was to make sure their island included all of the following: roads, houses, a pier, a shop, a school, fields  and a community building. Each island has its own unique name too  and we are very proud to display them outside our classroom.

Ladybirds and Bumblebees

Primary 2 Ladybirds have been looking at Katie Morag and Islands too so we thought it was a good idea to do some learning all together. We worked in groups of three and four to think of as many Orkney Islands as we could. 

Primary 7 Helpers

After reading all about Katie Morag and the Isle of Struay we decided to design our own islands (photos coming soon). Everybody came up with a name for their island and we were very grateful to the Primary Sevens for coming in to our class to show us how to use the laptops and help us type up our island names and change the colour and style of the writing.

Thank you 

Primary 7s!

Katie Morag display

We have been reading the Katie Morag stories to help us  learn about islands. We have worked really hard to make our own map of Struay for our classroom wall and each person made a place or a person from the story.

We can keep adding to our map as we learn more about the characters and stories from the Isle of Struay.
