Wall of Happiness

All the children in Aitkenhead Primary designed their own yellow brick which showed something that made them happy. They did this as we celebrated ‘International Day of Happiness.’ These were all collected and displayed on our ‘Wall of Happiness.’ Such a wide range of things make our children happy from playing with friends to eating chicken to playing fortnite!

P5 Rugby

P5 enjoyed a rugby taster session delivered by coaches from Uddingston Rugby Club. They learned new skills and had a lot of fun at the same time!

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  📚
