Miss Cochlan and Primary 6C

Here at 6c we have been making highland crofts out of clay. Crofts are small cottages which were made from stone and  packed with earth and straw to cement them together. The roof was made of straw, we call this a thatched roof. These crofts made up a community. A word for a community like this is called a TOUN. Inside their crofts they had only two rooms. In the middle of the two rooms was a fire with  stones around it to stop the fire from spreading. above the fire they had a black pot hanging from a chain to cook their food on. In one room they had their cattle so they could not be stolen. Also in that one room they also had their beds. In the other room they had a dresser against one wall and a small wooden table and chairs to eat at.

Check out Techno page to see the result and how we did it.
