Lovely interactions during an individual dance session with Ruth, one of  our dance specialists.

Well done

 

 

Creative Writing in Class Staffa

Class Staffa used PODD  books  during creative writing  and story telling activity this morning.

Each pupil had to choose a character, animal, problem, how to fix it and how do they feel.
With support from class staff they were able to compose a story and then write it down.

Everyone listened to Mrs McEwan as she read out all the stories.

Have a look at some of the creative stories below.
