A Petrifying Poem

December 2, 2016 Mrs Wight

Primary 3.1 have been trying to use interesting words in their writing. This week we were using alliteration to write a Halloween Horror poem. We worked in groups to use alliteration in one line of the poem. We then put all the ideas together to make a class, spooky poem.

Alliteration is when you have to use the same sound at the start of every word. – Siona

We made haunted house pictures to accompany our class poem.

We had to blend red and yellow for the sky. – Sophia
The house was hard to cut out. – Liam
It was fun printing the ghosts and drawing on funny faces. – Cara

Achievements in P2

April 26, 2016 Mrs Toman

We have been using our ICT skills to record some of our achievements from P2. We used Microsoft Office to open a Word document. Then we typed sentences. Next we inserted images from clip art to illustrate our sentences. Finally we saved our files.

We discussed all the knowledge and skills we have been learning and practising this year. We wrote ‘I can’ sentences as part of our ‘Growth Mindset’ activities. We set new learning targets.
