P2/3 Reading Buddies in P6

P2/3 are practising their fluency and expression when reading aloud with their P6 reading buddy. P6 are doing a super job at helping younger pupils to use their reading strategies to read common and tricky words, as well as questioning them about their story. We look forward to our reading times with our buddies!

P6 Open Event

In Primary 6 we created a ‘character from the boots up’.  Each group chose a number and inside their bag was a pair of shoes.  The task  for each pair or trio was to decide who might own these shoes and create a mind map describing the characters: appearance, personality, fears…. After playtime each child drew their character and wrote a story using this as the main character.

P2 & P6 World Book Day

The theme of World Book Day was to share a story so I set a challenge to my Primary 6 class. In trios choose a short story to read to a group of Primary 2 pupils.  After listening to 3 stories each the P2’s voted who read them the best story. The Primary 6 pupils took this challenge very seriously and it was fabulous listening in on their storytelling  📚
