A group of keen learners at Port Charlotte Primary School have been trialling the ict tool ‘My Study Bar’ which is a great help with reading, writing and spelling. This is what they think of the tool so far…
“My Study Bar is really helping us with our writing.

Primary 6, Dalintober Primary School, entertained P1 and P2 pupils with a performance starring the Mac Scarecrow puppets.
All the children in the class had written scripts based on the Mac Scarecrows. They peer assessed the scripts and decided which play should be performed. “The Mac Scarecrow Clan is Rich” was chosen and performed to great acclaim from their audiences.
The whole class were involved in some way and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Seeing a gap in the market, Primary 3 & 4, along with their teacher Mrs Carmichael, from Tobermory High School decided to embark on an enterprising interdisciplinary project and write their very own Mull & Iona Activity Book. This was designed for locals as well as visiting children to buy when they come to the Island. The full colour book is very informative and contains lots of fun activities for children to enjoy. It tells the reader many facts about the island they are visiting, including the history and wildlife of Mull as well as key events going on throughout the year.

Manga: food, mineral or comic? Not sure of the answer? You’re missing out on a whole world of possibilities when it comes to literacy and young people. Manga quite simply means “comics” in Japanese and is a term applied to an international market with a huge influence, especially when it comes to teens. Much of Manga’s growth in popularity is down to the impact of Anime films and series (Japanese animations). If you haven’t already, check out some of the visually stunning Studio Ghibli productions like Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Here at Oban High, we’ve been harnessing the popularity of this genre in building a new and thriving club. Continue reading Oban High’s New Manga, Anime and Comics Club!
