Last week some of the boys and girls impressed me with ordering their lunch tray in French as well as saying ‘hello’ in Mandarin.

We enjoyed the Robin Hood panto and here are some photographs which show some of our favourite parts.

We had lots of fun dooking for apples and Mrs Sinclair was pleasantly surprised to see that we have a new class member who seemed to be a little too old for P2/3.

Our Star of the Week was Joseph for not getting upset when a friend accidentally bumped into him. Joseph’s reply brought a tear to my eye when he said ‘It’s okay Aaran, you’re still my friend’.

Dyslexia Awareness Week 2015

Dyslexia Awareness Week 2015

This week the children at Bankton are looking at how we support all our learners in the classroom.  We are looking at our displays and Helps Boxes to see how we can use these to help us when we get stuck.   Some of the older children are learning about what dyslexia is and are talking about how we all learn in different ways and how we all find different things difficult.

 

We are also learning some cool facts

Over 50% of the people who work at NASA are reported to have dyslexia.  This is because they are excellent problem solvers and work well with 3D images!  The sky holds no limits when you can venture into space!!!

 

The government GCQH employs more than 100 dyslexic staff to work on anti-terrorism projects as they are able to analyse data and crack codes in a way that others can’t.
