Mrs Clunie’s English as an Additional Language Support Groups
January 2022 update
Primary 2/3’s are reading the story “Handa’s Surprise” and completing lots of lovely language activities based on the story. We are hoping to do some drama based around the story and will make a short video so everyone can see it.
The Primary 4 children are currently being supported in class alongside Miss McDonald. We are working hard on our colourful semantics to make our sentences absolutely fabulous!
Primary 5,6 and 7 are following the whole school “Scotland” theme. They have been learning about Scottish Wildlife and life in Scottish Cities.
In all our learning together, the children are encouraged to speak and use their first languages as much as possible. This supports the development of their English and promotes inclusion. It’s also fun learning the vocabulary in lots of languages!
