The Owl that was Afraid of the Dark

We are really enjoying our class novel at the moment and one of the things that the children wanted to investigate was how birds build nests. We decided to go into the playground to try it for ourselves. Once out there the children decided to build a nest big enough for the whole class. We had to gather all sorts of different materials that the children thought would be suitable and work as a team to complete the job. Good job Primary 1. I think Plop would like it!

Next question to be answered…..how do you make bird food…..watch this space…..

Paired Reading

Primary 1 and Primary 7 took part in some paired reading recently. Primary 7 selected a book and designed a follow up activity for themselves and their partner to take part in. Some children read the Gruffulo and had their buddies retell the story using plastic animals whilst others enjoyed Aliens love Panta Claus and made play dough aliens. Primary 1 really enjoyed the event and discovered some new books as a result.
