‘The McScarf’s’ is about a Clan of ten Scottish animals who take readers to visit ten modern and historic locations around Scotland!  ‘The McScarf’s’, written in scot’s, is an introduction to Scotland, showcasing modern cities such as Edinburgh to see the Castle, and Glasgow to see a traffic cone…wait, what?  The Clan also take us for a flying visit to Loch Lomond, St. Andrews for a spot of Golf, and Glencoe to ‘bag a munro’!

E.R.I.C Book Talks in P6/7

Our P6/7 learners have been delivering book talks during the past few weeks.  We have had some excellent presentations so far.  Today, one of our learners went over and above and created a great PowerPoint presentation to go along with her talk.  We’d recommend viewing the slide show fully to experience the animations!  Well done to this enthusiastic learner!

P6.7 Writing Assessment Thursday 21st October

Writing – Description Assessment – Thursday 21st October

Last session we learned a lot about the different features of a description text.  We used our 5 senses to explore a variety of things such as Irn Bru and Scottish Macaroons!

You will be completing a writing assessment on Thursday to see how much your writing has improved.  To complete this assessment you should bring in a special item from home to write about.

The item should be something you can see, touch, smell, hear and taste.  It might be that the item reminds you of a taste.  For example, I might bring in my favourite mug.  When I look at my favourite mug my mouth is filled with the taste of delicious tea and tangy ginger biscuits!

Some ideas of items you might want to bring in:

  • A favourite toy
  • A shoe (your first baby shoe or your favourite pair)
  • An ornament
  • A piece of jewellery
  • Your favourite food

These are just some examples, you may have a much better idea!

Anything valuable can be locked in the cupboard until you need the item and until you are ready to take it home again.

Make sure that whatever you choose is something that inspires you to write a fabulous description! J
