In Literacy, they have been writing their own short story over three weeks looking at suspense openers, characterisation, and effective conclusions. This week the pupils will be redrafting and publishing their stories and designing a front and back cover too. Their stories will then be shared with other pupils in the school to enjoy and give feedback on.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7458\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/mountcarmelps2017\/files\/2020\/11\/IMG_1539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"941\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7457\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/mountcarmelps2017\/files\/2020\/11\/IMG_1536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"941\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7454\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/mountcarmelps2017\/files\/2020\/11\/IMG_1807-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pupils are enjoying the new Rainbow Reward time on a Friday afternoon.

This week they took on the role of \u2018problem solvers\u2019 and wrote \u2018fictional\u2019 problem-solving letters. I was impressed with the strategies they suggested in their letters and the mature responses to the problems presented to them.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7456\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/mountcarmelps2017\/files\/2020\/11\/IMG_1835.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1260\" height=\"941\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pupils are working on their first Pope Francis Faith Award presentation on their hobby or interest.
