Shetland fir Wirds. This week, Bruce Eunson came to visit the class as we started our work in preparation for the Christmas Concert. We had a lot of fun thinking about different Shetland words in general and then more specifically linked to animals and foods. This will come in handy as we write our own version of the ’12 Days of Christmas’ and also practice for the concert.

Monster Kickabout. For this week and next week, we are celebrating football in the class and encouraging other classes to do the same.  A  group of pupils in the class are leading this and have planned different activities and events for the school. They organised a competition for each class and then the P7 pupils are working independently or in pairs to create trophies that will be used as prizes.

Writing. For our writing this term we are having three different focused tasks each week – 1 story, 1 ICT based task and 1 poster based task. We will also have an overarching theme each week and this week, we used ‘Coco’ as a stimulus looking at ‘the best festivals’ (persuasive text) and then creating posters about ‘The Day of the Dead’. The learners did an excellent job of creating their persuasive pieces of writing on the computer and their posters were amazing.
