I am very impressed with this week’s star writers. You worked your socks off during writing today. Well done to the two children who won the pupil of the week award over the past two weeks. Keep up the good work!

P2 Star Writers!
Here are the Primary 2 Star Writers from the last week of Term 1. They created great recount texts about the school concert. You all look very happy with yourselves, well done!
A busy day in p1a
P1a worker hard in all curricular areas today but they worked especially hard in literacy and maths. They are also learning to give relevant feedback during peer assessment. I am very pleased with your effort and attitude towards learning.
Born in the 80’s book!
We have been busy creating pages for our ‘Born in the 80s’ book, can you recognise some famous faces?
Author Visit to Moodiesburn Library
P4/5, P5 and P6 had great fun this morning on a trip to our local library. We had a special trip to see the author Robert Harris. He read us some of his fantastic books and even got some of us acting out scenes from them.
We were then able to buy one of his books and get it signed by the man himself! Some of us are really looking forward to reading his books and the release of his new book next April!
Dogs Trust
P4/5 have been working on the ‘Best Dog in the World’. Today our Authors and Publishers Reading Groups were researching the Dogs Trust on the class IPads and these children decided to create a poster about it! Super Idea!
Phonics in Primary 3
This spelling group were learning about the phoneme ‘aw’. We read the phoneme story to help us find new words containing the phoneme. The children then used rhyming words to help them find more words. Well done ! You worked very hard.
This spelling group were learning about the phoneme ‘ea’ as in the word meat. They used Doodlebuddy on the iPads to write their new words. This group were able to write many words in different, colourful ways using the iPads. The children came up with many words and they made more by adding ‘ed’ and ‘ing’.
Some children also moved onto practising their common words. Well done everyone. Keep up this fantastic work.
The Best Dog in the World
P4/5 have enjoyed a Literacy modelling block using ‘The Best Dog in the World’ by Sylvia Green. Today we carried out some partner reading to see how the last chapter ended! Did Elliot get to keep Denzil, P4/5?
P6/7 Music of the 1960’s
We have been researching different bands and artists of the 1960’s in our co-operative groups. We have been taking notes under sub-headings and created information discs (in the style of LP’s) to share with the class.
Active Literacy in p1b
This morning P1b worked hard to say, make, break, blend, read and write the words ‘mat’, ‘rat’ and ‘pat’. I am very pleased at how hard everyone worked. Here are photographs of our hard work in Literacy today.
