It was great to see so many people at our school birthday celebrations last week. Our class really enjoyed seeing everybody and sharing their learning. The visit from the ice cream van was also a firm favourite for pupils!
Our class have been discussing changes they would like to make to their learning environment. So far we have incorporated a new library area with new books from the main school library. Pupils are looking forward to adding to their book collection next week. Classes have been allocated some money for pupils to select a range of new books from Waterstones. This follows on from our reading ambassadors visit to the Livingston branch to select some books by their favourite authors. These included Michael Morpurgo, Emma Carroll and David Walliams.
Pupils have further plans to develop/ improve their classroom by adding in inspirational posters and LED strip lighting. A common request was also to buy in new Together Time and wet play activities.
This week we have been working on some Winter poetry and trying to incorporate descriptive language techniques. We described scenes using our senses, alliteration, similes, metaphors and personification. Our pupils will be creating a display of the work for everyone to see.
