Hello

Your child’s words for the assembly should be in their bag this evening. Please help them practise and memorise their lines.

A few of the children have words of their own choice to add to their script:

  • Book recommendations from Angus, Leon and Charlie (a simple title, author and reason why is plenty)
  • A favourite joke from Angus!

 

Also, if you have sent any of your child’s achievements from outside school this year – thank you. We will include these in the assembly.

If you have any pictures of your child’s wider achievements that you would like to be included during the assembly, please send them to the school email address, and they will be forwarded on to me.

exPLORE

Over the year P3 – P7 all pupils will be asked to complete a research project. This work could be related to any curricular area or interest and should be completed over a three week period.

ExPLORE is an information literacy model that will help your child become more skilled at knowing when and why you need information, how to evaluate, use and communication it to others.

Useful tips for research

  • They should understand what information needs to be collected.
  • Help them to stay focused on what they have chosen to research.
  • Encourage them to use a number of different resources e.g. internet, books and people.
  • Remind them that when using printed information they should either take notes or use a highlighter to highlight the important information, remembering to look for keywords
  • Research is not information printed straight off the internet.
  • Pupils should be encouraged to use their own words.
  • Please ask for help if you are unsure.
  • Complete the task on time. Do not leave it to the last minute.
  • Read through their work and check it.
  • Research work can take the form of a written report, but is usually best presented as a spoken report to the class. Visuals are a good idea to have as prompts and can be in the form of text, objects, photographs or a combination of all in a presentation or slide show. As long as the information is presented in a clear way, the method of presentation can be as creative as you like.

exPLORE topics should be completed by Friday 1st February 2019.

Any pictures, materials or usb sticks containing presentations should be handed in then. If the pupils wish to use their Google Drive to store presentations, they can be accessed from home in the usual way.
