It has been an wonderful first two weeks together. We have been very busy settling in as a new class and eventually PRIMARY 7!

Emma has enjoyed making oil pastel scratch pictures, her picture is an under the sea delight. We have also used the oil pastels to make a picture of a sunset on the ocean for our book study.

Mia likes the fact that her year group are all back together again.

Jayden and the whole class are enjoying the class novel ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’. It has been a very gripping and adventurous start to a book which has sparked lots of debate. Some of the reading is challenging so the pupils are encouraged to work with a parent with any homework to talk over the concept.

Jenna thinks that helping our Primary 1 buddies to settle has been great and Tyler agrees saying that it made him feel older and responsible. We are very excited about starting a buddy reading system in the infant department. Primary 7’s will have a book home to read and practice at home. They are to practice reading with expression and what questions they are going to ask their reading buddy.

Jade shared with us this week a video game she had created and narrated at home with her friends. We are all proud of her and think she is very talented.

Finally, we have new addition to our Primary 7 class, we are delighted to welcome Artur to our class for his Primary 7 year.

Thank you to all the parents and family members for your talking homework contributions. I like hearing your thoughts.
