On Friday, we visited P2/3 for our reading buddies afternoon. We heard them read their reading books and played games to quiz them about the story and tricky words. We also each chose a book from the library to take turns reading. We really enjoyed it!
We have been practising our spelling words with a partner completing different tasks we came up with including: painting, hangman, laminated activities, testing our partners to spot the mistake, using a code and creating our own and using our strategies. Â We had a visitor from a South Lanarkshire school who was very impressed!
Yesterday, we were learning to make salt dough and wrote out instructions for us to follow. We then designed our own fairy door to have a clear plan and picture in our heads before we started.
We then mixed 1 cup of plain flour, one cup of salt and gradually poured in some water whilst we mixed it with our hands till it formed a dough substance.
Today, we started to paint the back of our fairy door and completed the daily mile and PE whilst they dried and the. Painted the front very carefully.
We canât  wait for Saturday!
This afternoon, we visited P2/3 for our reading buddies session. P2/3 read their class reading book to us and we read a story from the library to them. We had great fun!
Today, we were learning about narrative poetry. We created our own characters and storyline and made up our rhyming stanzas. Miss Park was so impressed, we are going to re-draft and put up for display!
P5/6 began our topic of Scottish dance in PE today followed by a relaxing session in class practising our breathing and relaxation techniques whilst trying out different types of calming music. We then made a compliment circle and everyone had a smile on their face! đâ¤ď¸
P5/6 had a very busy morning of different activities. Some of us were busy working hard practising our lines at Nativity practise, some of us were practising our spelling words using paint or hieroglyphics and some of us were creating posters to teach the rest of the class about Mummification.
We have been learning about the Festival of Light, Diwali. We were looking at the traditions and designing and colouring rangoli patterns.
We were learning about Remembrance Day on Friday.
We have created a class poppy wreath display, created some poems which some of us were so proud of, we have put them into our showcase jotters. We also created Poppy biscuits. We were focusing on having a role within our group, the importance of hygiene and listening carefully to instructions and following them.
