We had a great visit to Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday. We had amazing seats and enjoyed singing/dancing along to the two Scottish bands performing.

Each of us were assigned a member of staff to write a letter to, wishing them a lovely Winter break. We loved going around the school to deliver these and the staff were very thankful.

As part of our letter writing focus, we have also now posted letters to new pen pals. These are the primary 3s at Netherlee Primary School and we are looking forward to receiving their responses.

We have been working on writing letters in class. A few weeks ago, we wrote a thank you letter. We learned how to set our letters out properly, including our school address.

Today, we have been writing letters to a new pen pal. We have made a connection with another school in East Renfrewshire and are writing to pupils in their primary 3 class. This was our first draft today and once we have received feedback from Mrs Stephenson we will re-draft and post our letters.

In Literacy, we are continuing to work on our reading fluency and build on our confidence when reading aloud. Today, some of us paired up with members of our class whilst others were paired with primary 5 helpers. During this time, we took turns reading aloud and discussed the book we have been assigned for homework.
