Congratulations to two members of our S2 class, Declan and Kailyn who were part of the winning Dell project. A huge well done to the pair of you.

Lots of cake was consumed today as we wished Mrs Tomany a long and very happy retirement.  Many thanks to Mrs Tomany for all her help with S2.

Alliteration, rhyme, repetition, onomatopoeia, word choice … S2 were on a roll today with their knowledge and use of poetic techniques. We then learned a little bit more about stanza layout.

All this was put to good use when we began writing our Kraznir Day 2 poems.  One stanza down, lots more to go.  Have a look tomorrow at some examples of our work.

Day Two of Kraznir planning started today.  We worked on our vocabulary and revised one or two poetic techniques that might just come in handy when we begin writing our poems later in the week.

A visit to the Library today to kickstart our Personal Reading programme.

We hope you approve of some of our choices …

Mrs Changleng delved into her boxes of postcards today to allow us to choose a bookmark for our personal reading book as a reward for all our hard work this week.

Well done to Alyx…

A fantastic effort from S2 over the last few periods. A big thank you and well done to you all on your work ethic and behaviour with the cover teacher, Mr Campbell, yesterday  – he was most impressed.   Mrs Changleng was also  impressed with those of you who volunteered to take jotters home so you could continue with your writing –  and remembered to bring them back this morning.

Studious concentration from Ford and Angus …

Lots of hard work today writing Kraznir’s Day One adventure.  Vivid imaginations to the fore with the focus on an exciting plot and effective use of language.

Here’s another example :
