Talk for Writing Term 2 ✍🏼
Talk for Writing – Wishing Tales ✨
This term, Primary 7 have been focussing on Wishing Tales as part of Talk for Writing.
COLD TASK:
We have completed our own baseline assessment ‘cold task’ of writing a Wishing Tale with no input. We will then do our Hot Task assessment at the end of the unit and measure our progress.
IMITATION PHASE:
As part of the imitation phase we have been learning our model text ‘Hettie’s Unicorn’.
Ask your child why we learn a model text.
To help internalise the model text, we have been creating and performing actions, developing story maps using symbols and emojis and then re-writing the text from memory!
Check back soon to see our next phase – innovation!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃
A very Happy Halloween indeed 🎃!
Primary 7 had a fantastic morning racking up some serious mileage and steps on our sponsored spooky walk from the school, round the golf course and back! We loved seeing all the spooktacular decorations and a huge thank you to all the parent helpers along the way to keep us right with our directions 🧭!
We then returned to school for some well deserved sweet treats and to PARTY 🥳…
Halloween bingo, best costume, best dancer, just dance, Halloween corners, toilet paper mummies, the Slosh, Monster Mash, Spooky Scary Skeletons, act it out and LOTS of cake 🧁
We all had the best day with lots of laughs! Happy ‘almost’ Halloween 👻
Freaky Friday 👻
P.6/5 pupils had a spooktacular day as they took to the golf course for their Spooky Sponsored Walk! 👻
With plenty of funds raised and many steps covered, pupils earned themselves a fun filled afternoon brimming with Halloween Fun! Well done Team Gardenrose ✨👻🎃
Happy Halloween Folks!
Another dimension…
P.6/5 pupils have been getting creative with resources and constructed some spectacular 3D objects!
We have been focusing on the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, discussing edges, vertices, faces and angles!
Pupils enjoyed challenging themselves, from cubes to pentagonal prisms… take a look in our gallery below!
