Today we got crafty at our Families Connect session! We were working on different types of praise, such as, genuine, without a sting in the tail, specific and focused on effort. Adults and children then worked together to create ‘Superstar Awards’ using a variety of craft materials. We had a great time celebrating positive things we have been doing recently.
Next week our focus is on the importance of listening.
This week P4 have completed their first information writing session. They were writing about the importance of the River Nile to the people of ancient Egypt. Pupils said that they found the session challenging but enjoyable and we will continue to work on this genre next week.
We have continued to do our vertical learning sessions with P3 and P3/4. The classes have enjoyed working in mixed groups and the opportunity to work with different staff on new activities. We would like to thank Mr Patterson for working with one of our groups this week.
In art P4 created some excellent pictures of pyramids and are looking forward to working on clay scarab beetles next week.
Pupils have been encouraged to focus on improving their presentation in jotters this week and we hope that parents/ carers will be able to see a difference next week at parents’ evenings. If you haven’t made an appointment there are still spaces available so please get in touch.
