As today is Safer Internet Day, we are learning about how to safely post to our school blog. We want to tell you about Holocaust Memorial Day.

Last Monday were doing some activities like hot seating, in role as a Syrian refugee, imagining what it would be like to be torn from home. Before this, we listened to some stories about Syrian children and came up with questions we would ask them if we met them. We then used this for our hot seating task. We also talked about what we would take in a suitcase if we had to leave home. We did some activities on Children’s Rights too.

We listened to the story of the Three Little Pigs whose homes were destroyed and we did some drama about this.

P1-3 received a special visitor this morning to encourage them to be kind this festive season!

Today saw us sorting information onto Carroll diagrams in a 3 chili challenge activity (the children choose their own level of challenge) for P2 whilst P1 explored arrow diagrams.

Today P1-2 participated in several activities with the theme of Children in Need in order to become aware of the importance of it and how it helps children around the UK. We hope to fundraise for this very worthy cause in the future.

Please find attached the lyrics for our assembly songs:

The children in Primary 1, 2 and 3 worked on several fun activities today to practise spelling and reading skills. Our favourite was bouncy blending! We sound out each phoneme and then blend them together to read a word! We challenged each other with tricky ones.
