Over this last week we have been looking at stating and justifying an opinion.

We looked at giving our opinions, followed by the justifications on different topics around the room.

After this, we stated and justified our opinions of our favourite books and created a class library to display them.

Here are some of our opinions and justifications:

The new star wars

Oliver: I love it because it’s funny and full of adventure!

Zach: Brilliant as it had lots of shocks and was very funny to watch.

Libby: It was very, very, very funny and exciting!

Harris: My opinion is that it’s not the best Star Wars movie but it’s still really good. Others are better because they have a slightly better story line.

Trains (Choo Choo!)

Muhammad Mu’aadh: I love trains because they go really fast and I like the sound that they make.

Laiba: I really like them because they are super fast and they make that hooting noise.

Ibrahim: My favourite type of trains are the ones powered by magnets because I like magnets.

Harry Potter

Lucas: Harry Potter is a really good book because you can always move on to the next in the series – until you finish them obviously!

Imaan: I’m not too keen on Harry Potter because I don’t really like books about magic and wizards and stuff like that – I think it’s a bit boring!

Zayaan: I think Harry Potter is really good because I love the spooky parts in the movies and I enjoy reading the books too.

Golden Time

Danyal: I think Golden Time is fun because you get to talk with your friends and have a wee break from work.

Hamza: I like it because it’s a really good chance to be free and do what you want instead of working.

Carla: My opnion on Golden Time is that I enjoy it because you get to play and not have to work although I feel it goes too fast!

Favourite Food

Joseph: My favourite food is samosas. I like them because they’re spicey and they taste really nice!

Cate: My favourite food is chicken pie because the taste is so good and it melts in my mouth!

Zoe: My favourite food is pizza because it’s super cheesy and every flavour goes together perfectly!

Arwaa: I like chicken because it’s really yummy and feels good in my tummy.

Please find attached a letter about the change of our Learning Assembly date. We’re already excited and hope you are too!

Learing Assembly Letter

During Book Week we were lucky to take part in lots of different book based activities!

We had visits from different people in the community who came in to read to us.

We loved listening to Mr Stink, which was read by Miss Bird, our active schools co-ordinator.

We also had the chance to do some reading of our own. We arranged to visit the nursery children and primary 1, 2, 3 and 4 to read to them. This meant we had the chance to visit the school library along with p6b to pick out our favourite books that we thought the other classes would love too.

Following some practice sessions, we read….

 

 

 

 

 

 

And read…

And read…

We really loved reading to other classes and we think that they enjoyed it too! We had such a good time reading that we’re going to try and arrange these story sessions again the future… watch this space!

As part of our RME we have been looking at traditions in the run up to Christmas.  We were inspired to create our own Christmas trees using finger painting, glitter and sequence.  It was great fun, some even ended up in our hair.
