Reading Ambassadors

Children from P 2-7 have recently had the opportunity to apply for a post as a Deans Primary Reading Ambassador.If interested,  they had to complete an application form and informal interviews took place last week. Ten children were successful and will now have the exciting challenge of promoting Reading as a lifelong skill across the school.

Their first task was to visit Waterstones book shop in Livingston Centre to discuss various authors and to set up an account there. Each class is being given a sum of money to spend for their class library and can order books online or create a list that the class teacher can go and collect in person.

On Friday, the children involved, showed off the books they had each chosen on their visit for their respective classes, and reminded everyone to start spending!

What have P5 been up to this week?

Literacy

  • Reading

We have started our new group reading books and have been learning to read with fluency using various strategies to read unknown words.

Although it was tricky we practised using our inference skills to demonstrate understanding of what we had read.

  • Writing

Bella – I enjoyed writing a diary about the main character in my reading book and practising my chatty style.

In spelling we have been investigating the different ways to spell the phoneme/sound ‘j’.

Maths

We continued to consolidate our learning about time. Our time-telling skills are improving.

Lewis – I enjoyed learning about am and pm.

P.E.

Georgie – Rugby was tricky bit I improved my passing skills.

Keris – I got better at catching the ball.

Choir

Keris – I enjoyed the warm up – we had to spell Christmas!

HALLOWEEN!

We had a great time at the school disco.

Lacey – It was fun and we all got to dance.

Homework

Bella, Keris, Georgie, Eva, Shantelle, Mason and Lewis Duckworth shared some of their homework this month. We enjoyed looking at it.

It would be great to see some more homework completed by more members of the class next month.

School Birthday Celebrations

Keris – I enjoyed researching the 1970s on the laptop. The fashion was long dresses and mini skirts.
