The children carefully followed a set of instructions on how to plant cress.  They used step by step instructions from Mr Bloom!  We hope to see some growing as early as tomorrow morning.   Watch out for our day 7 post on the growth of our cress heads:)

Well done to Mhairi for displaying excellent personal skills this week.  She had a Ballet exam on Tuesday afternoon and was able to display confidence during the assessment.  She has shown super determination to succeed in something she thoroughly enjoys.  Well done Mhairi and I cant wait to hear the end result! 🙂 I managed to get a snap of Mhairi before she left.  Looking very professional indeed!!!!

Primary 1/2 were outside this afternoon planting their sunflower seeds.  They are learning how to grow plants and name their basic parts. They will begin to talk about how they grow and what they need to do to look after their plant.  The kids want to plant their sunflower at school and have a competition to see which one grows the tallest!

The children started off the day with saying who they came dressed as and telling their favourite part in their story.  They were then introduced to comics. The children paired up and went on a verb hunt using comics.  From the collection of verbs extracted they went outside to act them out!  Once back in doors the  children used their characters to create an action story of their own.  They added verbs to each of ther drawings and will use this as a stimulus for next week’s writing lesson.  There has been some excellent vocabulary being used and great action stories being created today, well done P1/2!

In the afternoon the children came together as a whole school to listen to stories written by some of the P5/6/7 children.  Top job! I enjoyed listening in to some very creative writers share their short stories.

I’m very proud of you all 🙂

Oh so very busy and all on task!
