P5/6 were given the freedom to choose their own spelling activities to revise our ‘ks’ words. From intense spelling battleships to focused word mats, and even creative written tasks, their dedication to mastering the ‘ks’ phoneme was ambitious to say the least.
Primary 5/6 had great fun celebrating all things reading last week for World Book Day thank you to the Reading Schools Committee for coming up with ideas and Mrs Sweeney for pulling their ideas together! They participated in a book themed scavenger hunt, guess the teacher (by identifying their childhood photo and favourite childhood book), book swap, author visit, writing a whole school story, and literacy open afternoon.
The author visit was inspiring as pupils had the opportunity to listen to how Rachel McGaw first got into writing and how she gets inspiration for the books she writes. Pupils also listened to a sneak peak of a fairy tale that she has not yet released.
Thank you to parents and family members that were able to come along to our open afternoon too! The pupils had the opportunity to share some of the tasks they complete in day-to-day literacy lessons linked to reading and spelling.
Primary 5/6 had an excellent time at the Glasgow Science Centre! They loved exploring a range of topics such as space, energy, and the human body. One of the highlights was visiting the planetarium, where they looked at stars and learned about the universe. The pupils smiled all day long as they participated in a whole host of hands-on activities.
The pupils enjoyed all of the floors but most of all enjoyed floor 3 – The Body Works. They loved getting competitive on this floor whilst investigating how the body works.
Primary 5/6 really were great role models and represented our school spectacularly throughout the whole day.
Primary 5/6 had a lovely experience during our visit to Hallhouse Care Home last Friday as part of our Reading Schools Buddy Reading Project. The pupils had the opportunity to read stories and share conversations with the residents. The visit helped pupils to build confidence when reading aloud as well as empathy and understanding of the residents needs. Super work P5/6!
