Literacy

We will continue to work on active spelling strategies in class, catered to our own ability.

Primary seven will be using our production of Alice as a topic this term covering various areas of the curriculum.  We are using two versions of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ movies as a media topic. Working in literature circles the pupils will be taking on specific roles to analyse and compare the themes of the film.

Primary seven will focus on ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ as a homework literacy programme.
