Becoming expert readers

Leave a comment

Today we were lead learners with P3 to help us all become expert readers.

Mrs Campbell showed us how she reads a book and we then brainstormed how we could become better readers.

“We need to use expression when we talk” Natalie

“We need to read clearly so people can understand” Klaudia

 

We then used what we thought and practiced being an expert reader.

Once we had read our books we gave the reader a star and a wish.

We can’t wait to do it again and continue our training on becoming expert readers.

Celebrating Roald Dahl day

Leave a comment

Today we took part in Roald Dahl day. It would have been his 100th birthday today.

We watched a live event all about his writing, his characters and his books. We really enjoyed it.

We even had the chance to draw an Oompa Lompa with Quentin Blake.

We discussed who the most villiest villan was in his books – it’s Miss Trunchball from Matilda.

We had a great afternoon.

Primary 3 and Primary 5/6 start debating

2 Comments

Primary 3 and Primary 5/6 have joined together this term to debate.

We discussed what a debate is, how they work and what different language we can use when we are debating and some of the rules.

We started with designing our debating tshirts in pairs so that we can use them in the “washing line” debate next week.

Watch this space for our first debating topic.

Sports Day 2016

Leave a comment

Thank you to everyone who helped to organise, participated in and supported our Sports Day on Friday. Unfortunately our races had to be cancelled due to the field still being wet and then it rained too! We were able to have our Potted Sports in the playground. There were 9 stations that teams went around. It was great to see the teams of pupils from P1-7 help each other and cheer each other on. Unfortunately the midges also decided to visit us which was inconvenient but it didn’t dampen the kids spirits! Teams were all working together to get as many House Points for their Houses. The winners will be announced at our Celebration Assembly on Monday.

Building our minibeast hotel – P3/4

Leave a comment

Today we got to build our minibeast hotel. During our topic we have been learning about different minibeasts and their habitats. We also collected lots of materials on our trips to Polkemmet Country Park. Even though it was raining we just put on our jackets and got to work. We had to think how to put all the materials in to work for different minibeasts and look nice too. We are looking forwards to seeing who moves in.
