The Primary 5/6 pupils achieved 20 secret student points for demonstrating our school values throughout the term which meant they got to pick and vote for a reward. They picked a movie day and chose to watch Home Alone. They got cosy and enjoyed the movie with some extra treats. Well done Primary 5/6, keep demonstrating those school values!
As part of our work towards becoming a Reading School, Mrs Sweeney arranged for the East Ayrshire mobile library to visit our school. The mobile library will be visiting regularly, providing all pupils from the ECC through to P7 the opportunity to access a wider range of books. Any books borrowed from the mobile library must be kept in school as these are borrowed on a school library card (as per the librarians requests). Today was our first visit and the excitement was real! Nearly all pupils in Primary 5/6 selected a new book to read during our ERIC (everybody reading in class) time which was lovely and calm just before lunch.
Literacy: Roald Dahl Day
13th September 2023
Last week it was Roald Dahl Day (the authors birthday) so we used this as a stimulus for some of our learning. During grammar, the pupils continued practicing using parenthesis to add extra information to their writing. They used the books, Matilda and The Twits, written by Roald Dahl to find some sentences they could ‘up-level’. They did a fantastic job – I am sure you will agree!
In the afternoon, P5/6 buddied up with P1/2 and told them who Roald Dahl was then shared some of his stories with the P1/2 pupils. Primary 5/6 were focusing on using expression and reading with fluency. They also used some of their metalinguistics skills to explain the emaning of unfamiliar words to the younger pupils.
Yesterday the whole school enjoyed some gold celebrations in recognition of achieving our UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Gold Award.
It was fantastic to see so many pupils attend school in their yellow Fenwick polo shirts as well as a whole host of gold accessories and jackets/jumpers.
In the afternoon, P5/6 joined with P4/5 and P6/7 to have a disco and some treats in the hall. They had lots of fun and loved their afternoon treats! P5/6 also made some posters to display around the hall during these celebrations.
