Memory Boxes

We had a lot of fun decorating our Memory Boxes today.  We each took in a box which we were able to decorate and label with the art materials available.  It was a lot of fun and the children were all attentive at their task.  We also learned about using apostrophes!

A Memory Box can be used to store your memories so you can come back and look at it whenever you like.  You might put in it favourite toys from when you were younger, books, drawings, cards, or maybe something to remember a loved one by who is no longer with us.

Thank you Dylan for originally sharing the idea with us :-).

Literacy Session – Wednesday 8th March 2017

We had a very busy literacy session this morning. We had 4 stations with groups rotating around each.

The stations today were:

  • Reading with Mrs Bray, Mrs Anderson or Colin
  • Playdoh – SMUHA inspired!
  • Teach Your Monster to Read
  • Spelling

We had lots of creative galleys to photograph. This was a very relaxing activity and all the pupils enjoyed it.

Thank you to our lovely parent helpers. Without helpers we would not be able to do this each week.

What we think of our literacy sessions:

“I love the surprise activity each week.”

“I like that we get to see our friends in P2/3.”

“We do lots of learning.”

“It is good to do lots of spelling.”

“I like that we can have our parents coming in to help.”

“It is good for Mam to see what we were are doing in class.”

“It is good to have a surprise to look forward to.”

“I love that we all get a turn on the laptops each week.”
