Read, Write, Count!

Uncategorized

We were excited to dip into our bags provided by the Scottish Book Trust! We talked about fiction and non-fiction texts before reading a story. Our bags had everyone engaged and we especially enjoyed using the story cubes to make stories together as well as playing different number games. We will do more activities linked to ‘A Beginner’s Guide to BEAR SPOTTING’ later this week.

There are lots of activity ideas inside to help you use the contents in creative ways at home to further develop literacy and numeracy skills.

           

Our assembly

Uncategorized

Thank you for supporting us before and during our learning assembly last week.

Here are some of our thoughts:

  • We have already learned lots this year.
  • I liked planning what we talked about in the assembly.
  • I think I’m better at using expression in my voice.
  • Next time we could maybe do more acting and drama.
  • I am proud of our good teamwork.
  • I’m looking forward to doing the Nativity now

All Different, All Equal

Uncategorized

The Rights Respecting Committee and Peer Mediators are helping us to focus on Article 2 of the UNCRC.

Article 2

All children have these rights, no matter who they are, where they live, what their parents do, what language they speak, what their religion is, whether they are a boy or girl, what their culture is, whether they have a disability, whether they are rich or poor. No child should be treated unfairly on any basis.

We are thinking about this during Anti-Bullying week (13th-17th November). This year the Anti-Bullying Alliance’s message is ‘All different, all equal’. We have discussed what this means and what it looks and sounds like in class and in the playground and are contributing to a whole school dispaly which will celebrate our wonderful diversity and similarities.
