Primary 4 are enjoying their weekly class session of Bug Club. They are making great use of our new IPads and laptops and our new internet speed is really helping to aid their learning. Please remember that, if possible, Bug Club should also be accessed at home.
No Pens Day Wednesday encourages schools and settings to put down their pens and to run a day of speaking and listening activities.
This year’s No Pens Day Wednesday will take place on Wednesday 4th October 2017.
No Pens Day Wednesday 2016 reached a total of over 5,700 schools and settings who had signed up to take part in the event since it started in 2011.
As part of our No Pens Wednesday on the 4th of October each pupil will be asked to come to school wearing something blue! This doesn’t have to be their normal blue school jumper – it can be anything! The more adventurous the better!
Throughout that day and leading up to it we will have blue ribbons on sale that can be yours in exchange for a small donation.
Let’s break down the barriers to learning together.
In SLC 3 we have been working with Ross Macfarlane to explore the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory through drama. Ross has been helping us to think about the characters in the story and has been giving us great, active ways to practise new types of punctuation that we can use in our writing.
In our sessions, we have thought about what the characters in the book are like. Here we are pretending to be someone from the story. Can you guess who?
We have also been bringing some scenes from the book to life. Here we are imagining that we are opening the door to the Chocolate Room!
Here is Justin being very pleased to be in a room full of chocolate!!
We have really been enjoying working with Mr Ross and exploring the story!
Barshare was massively excited to have a visit from the very famous author Ciaran Murtagh. Ciaran has written for Mr Bean cartoons as well as super books such as Stunt Boy. Ciaran provided the children with lots of great ideas about how to start their writing tasks – we cannot wait to read all the wonderful stories!
