With such a busy Friday last week we didn’t get a chance to post a blog! The Primary 2s were absolutely fabulous in their performance of Skellybones and we are all so proud of them!
This week we started off the week with a Happiness chat about something that we are grateful for, most of us said that we are most grateful for our families because they love and support us.
On Tuesday we had our Shared Start focusing on VCOP. We learned that this is some strategies to improve our writing. Here are some of the things we enjoyed and learned during our shared start:
Leah – “I learned that some sentences need two types of punctuation”
Poppy D – “I learned about different types of punctuation that we use at different times”
Aaron – “I learned about punctuation. I can use a full stop and a question mark”
Brooke – “I liked using the glitter trays because I could challenge myself to write words”
Aiden – “I learned about using different types of punctuation. I can use different types of punctuation in sentences”
Cameron – “I liked the fishing game. Mrs Mansfield was really proud of me when I used the opener ‘As time went by…’ correctly”
Millie – “I enjoyed playing the Stomp game because it helps me think of uplevelled vocabulary that I can use in my writing”
Mason – “I liked writing words in the sand tray with my gran”
Emily – “I learned a bit more about openers. I now know different openers and can use a VCOP pyramid to help me”
Regan – “I liked all the different stations for VCOP because the games were fun”
Lucy – “I liked doing the fishing game up at messy area because it helped me learn about different punctuation I can use in sentences”
Teigan – “I liked writing words in the glitter tray”
Griffin – “I like using the different stations because they are a fun way to learn and I enjoy them”
Breaghannon – “I liked using the glitter tray to practise my tricky words”
Leila – “I also enjoyed the different stations to help my learning”
Ellie – “I can use uplevelled words in sentences to improve the detail”
Rio – “I liked using the magnetic letters. I enjoyed doing this because it’s fun sticking the letters on and I learn my tricky words too”
Daniel – “I liked using the fishing rods because they helped me recognise all the punctuation marks and I could talk about when to use them”
Rory – “I liked playing the jenga because I learned new words that I can use as connectives”
Poppy F – “I liked using the sand tray to practise my words because it helps me get better at the words I can’t do yet”
Sarah – “I played Pokemon with Emily and Teigan. I liked learning the new words”
