Edgar the excitable dragon

Primary 4 explored the John Lewis Christmas advert. We considered the characters thoughts and feelings at certain scenes in the short film. We then used apple clips and ChatterKid to share our learning.

Book Week Scotland

Book Week Scotland is taking place from Monday 27 November  – Sunday 3 December 2017.

It  is a week-long celebration of books and reading that takes place every November.  As part of EPS celebrations the children in P 2.2 will take part in a Drop Everything And Read initiative.

Outdoor Learning and Autumn IDL

This week we have been working on a mini IDL project all about autumn.  We kick started this with a walk in the school grounds where we foraged for autumn objects.  This inspired us to write autumn poems and create autumn art work.  Our Autumn poems contained some fabulous describing words!

“Autumn is red leaves.

Autumn is spiky conkers.

Autumn is hibernating hedgehogs.

Autum is spooky Halloween.

Autumn is colourful fireworks.”

Caleb Lindie

“I love Autumn because I can collect conkers in the Orry.”
