The recent snowy day closures have meant less time to work on our concert and Christmas crafts this past week. However, please look out for these gorgeous Christmas cards coming home next week and rescue them from the bottom of bags!
We talked about how lino cut paintings are created and then designed a simple picture that we could draw into polystyrene before using ink and rollers to create our prints. We hope they help spread some Christmas joy! 🎄

Mrs Henderson and I have been given the chance to take part in an Improving Writing Course run by CYPIC – The Children’s and Young People Improvement Collaborative. We gathered views on writing from the class at the start of the project and used a piece of written work to help us assess where our writers need most support initially. We aim to write three times a week and our focus just now is on improving our understanding and use of punctuation. The class write for just a short 15-20 minute slot before having time to edit and improve their work. The pupils also help each other in this process too. 😊 Their writing jotters are filling up fast with a variety of writing topics across the curriculum! Most recently, we have linked our writing to work going on throughout the class and school. Some examples are…
We contine to share the success of the class with the pupils and they are keen to see the progress they are making. We hope to reach our target set in the new year before moving on to the next element of ‘Tools for Writing’ to be improved.

We have one JRSO pupil within our P4/5/6 class, who has been working with the other P6 pupils in Mrs Scanlan’s class next door, to help promote road safety in our school. These pupils worked so hard to compile and deliver a special assembly following Road Safety Week. They also invited the older classes to create a road scene picture which highlighted some of the road safety dangers they addressed in their assembly. These pictures are displayed in the main foyer. Time has also been spent with some of the younger P2 pupils playing a board game that reinforces road safety. The JRSO pupils also plan to visit the ELC pupils to share ‘Ziggy’ stories in the future. Well done to all the JRSOs!

We had our class prize today! When our peg jar was approaching the finish line, we all voted for what we would like as our prize. There was no clear winning idea, so we have enjoyed laptop time and crafts. It has been a lovely, relaxed afternoon full of creativity and fun!
I wonder what everyone will vote for next time…?
