We were participating in Book Week Scotland by dropping everything and reading in the afternoon. We enjoyed having the time to read any books we picked. 📚 
On Thursday afternoon we had a Book Blurb Quiz in which we had to read the blurbs of 20 books and match them to their front cover. Again great Communication Meta Skills were observed! Each group did well in the quiz! 👏🏻
On Friday we had ‘Dress as a Word’ day. There were lots of new words, meanings and outfits! Super job everyone! 🙌🏻

This week is Anti-Bullying Week. The work we did this week supports Article 19 – Protection from Harm, of Rights Respecting Schools. We watched the videos about Noah who was being bullied.
These were very interesting videos which encouraged an insightful discussion about what was happening, how it affected him and those around him plus gaining an understanding of why Grace was bullying him. These videos helped us develop our Meta Skills on Feelings. As a follow up, we created our own Power For Good posters.
13/14.11.25
In preparation for Children In Need on Friday, we discussed the history and reason for this charity on Thursday. Great Communication Meta Skills were displayed.

Thanks for the brilliant support by wearing Pudsey merchandise or yellow or spots on Friday! 👏🏻
