Primary 2 and Clicker

We have been exploring how we can use Clicker for our Literacy tasks. Clicker Art lets us draw pictures. Clicker word processor “talks” what we type and prediction helps us to write sentences!

Visualisation in P6R

We have been developing our visualisation skills to help with Reading and Writing. We have been drawing the pictures we create in our minds when listening to descriptions.

All of the children in Primary 1 worked really hard this week to write a story about a dinosaur who came for dinner. Everyone did so well that it was hard to choose just six Star Writers. Well done to these boys and girls who put in a great effort with their stories!

Primary 4/5

Primary 4/5 have been learning to up-level their writing and make it even better. We all wrote a newspaper article last week to report the Apollo 11 moon landing. The teacher read every one and provided feedback to everyone. Mrs Cree pointed out things that she liked and things than could be improved upon.

The first thing we had to do was read over our original report. We then looked at the feedback from the teacher. As we were re-drafting, we were encouraged to make changes to our writing. Some of us even made changes that weren’t suggested by Mrs Cree.
