The children have been enjoying using ICT to help actively participate in their learning.   Here are some of the children in the ICT suite working with money, learning about their 2 times table through song and interactive games and in particular at the moment they are  enjoying getting to know ‘Sumdog’ and have had fun using this site  to find out what they know, as well as helping the children to develop their new learning in school and  at home as well.

Writing and  Co-operative  Learning and Robert Burns

 

  

Here, the children are working and supporting each other, as each person in each group  individually takes turns, to write down a word that begins with their groups letters:   R. O. B. E. R. T.   B.U.R.N.S.

This gave the class a selection of words that could help them begin each line of their Robert Burns, Acrostic Poem.

The children enjoyed this very much and worked very hard on their poems.

Here are this weeks Star Writers With their Acrostic Poems. Great Work Boys and Girls.
