This literacy and language group are working on a unit about Fairtales. The having been reading the story of Beauty and the Beast. They are now working on writing their own fairtales and today they used a story maker game to decide on characters and settings to use in their stories. Their stories will also use special language such as happily ever after and once upon a time. I am really looking forward to reading their final stories. 📚
The Spring Chicken song that made us very happy today! 🐥
Today in P3 we made chick easter cards and chicks. We really enjoyed making these and also learnt a Spring Chicken song to sing whilst making them.
We like to share outside achievements in school and today Woijiech brought in his Judo award. Well done for your hard work and keep the training hard 😀
In P4/5 today we made beautiful flowers from paper to give as a gift on Sunday to a special person. I hope that if you receive one you’ll be delight with it.
Today during number football in PE as well as developing our ball skills, I witnessed some fantastic and humbling sportsmanship. We were playing number football and the team were shouting on their teammates but when the team won, they clapped for the other team and also the losing team clapped for the winning team. The children were encouraging each other and giving their opponents high fives! Was a lovely game to watch!
This term we have linked literacy and ICT by creating story animations based on the BFG. We have been working on these stories over a few weeks and with our learning partner have created 2 animations to tell the story from 2 of the scenes. Putting all the animations together as a class we can watch the animation of the story as a whole. Our skills in animation have greatly improved and this is something which we have all enjoyed working on.
P4/5 enjoyed a fun Parkour session during fit Thursday. We would in teams to balance and travel about objects in the gym hall.
Today we made chocolate sweets. When have been reading Charlie and the Chocolate factory and decided to turn the classroom into a chocolate inventing room and design and make our own special chocolates. We had to write a set of instructions to make the sweets, then follow each step carefully. The best part was eating the sweets at the end. We even made Mrs MacPhail and Mrs Lowden one. They tasted marvoulous, delicious, scrumptious, out of this world!
This group of children made me extremely proud making their sacrament of recolonisation. Although it was a nervous experience, there were smiles all around by the end. We will now begin working toward Holy Communion learning prayers, responses and recording the experience in our Faith Journal books.
