3 Comments

We are learning how to use movement, mime and facial expressions to portray characters from the story of Katie Morag delivers the mail.

We can use movement, mime and good facial expressions to portray different characters in the story.

A huge well done to all the Primary 2’s today who performed in our Katie Morag Assembly. You were all ‘Confident individuals’, who put on a super show. The children were clear and confident. They showed good skills in mime and facial expression to portray different characters. Everyone made a super effort learning their lines. The singing and acting were also amazing.

LI; We are learning to apply our knowledge and understanding of healthy choices to design a new health product.

SC;
I can design a new healthy food or drink product that incorporates two or more food groups.

I can make my product using the correct ingredients.

Last week we had fun making our fruity desserts. We used our recipes from the ‘Apprentice challenge’ and our recipe writing project in class. After looking at our recipes closely we had to write a shopping list with all ingredients we would require and list all equipment needed for this session.
We were all very excited about our creations and the excitement of eating/drinking them afterwards! Firstly we talked about hygiene in the kitchen and safety rules when using sharp knives. We all washed our hands and prepared the surface area we were going to work on.

Desserts detailed below:
Caitlin N and Anna made Healthy fruit boats
Laura and Olivia made Berry Boo smoothie
Charlie, Louis and Euan made a Raspberry crush smoothie
Zach, Reece and Harry made Blueberry Bananza smoothie
Ayla and Louis made Fruit cocktail
Holly and Caitlin N made Mr Pears
Rudi, Reno and Ben made a Cloudy smoothie
Connor and Ellis made Berryblue smoothie
Trystan, Chiaro and Jacob made an Orange delight smoothie

Ayla and Holly commented, “We really enjoyed making our own product come to life and the best bit was eating it with a little fresh cream!!”

What is literacy?

Literacy is about learning to read and write accurately, being able to listen carefully and talk clearly about ideas.

These skills will enable young people to participate fully in their learning now and later on in a work environment.

How can you help?

Parents play a crucial role in helping to develop literacy skills from an early age. You can encourage your child to explore literacy outdoors and at home.

There are many opportunities in everyday routines to practise and apply literacy skills in real and meaningful ways e.g. reading to your child every day, learning nursery rhymes together and pointing out signs in the local community.

You can also encourage your child to talk about their thoughts and ideas, and about how they are feeling.
