Borgue whole school maths and literacy challenge!

On Monday all of P1-7 worked with Mrs Graham, Minnie and Mrs Storrie on a group challenge.

After reading “The Scarecrows’ Wedding” the children were given the task of creating a picture with at least 4 different 2D shapes. Lots of super team work happened , with discussion about which different shapes suited each part of the scarecrow. The older children were also excellent at leading the younger ones.

Well done everyone!

P4-7 Borgue Wonder wall!

P4-7 have started a fantastic display of art work , based on the novel “Wonder” by RJ Palacio.  The novel features the life of a boy called Augie who is heading to school for the first time, aged 12. He has had many corrective surgeries on his face, eyes, mouth and eyes which have left him scarred and self conscious. One of the book themes is kindnesses, which Augie is not always shows by others. We thought about how we can radiate kindness towards others and then created Wonder inspired art work. We think these are fab! What do you think?
