Learning Intention: We are learning to use persuasive techniques to create a poster advertisement.
Success Criteria:
A successful poster will include:
– A picture of the product
– The price
– A slogan
– Persuasive techniques
– Key information from the text
In P5B, we have been learning about persuasive language and techniques that advertising experts use to sell products. We used this to help us to create poster advertisements for our redesigned versions of George’s Marvellous Medicine as part of our Dragons’ Den challenge.
We were allowed to select which ICT software we thought would suit our task the best, then set to work creating our posters. We had to make sure that we used as many persuasive techniques as possible to sell our product to our customers.
When we thought we had met all of the success criteria, we posted our posters onto our Yammer page, then gave our peers two stars and a wish feedback.
We used our feedback to make changes to our poster to ensure that our final product met the criteria, and was as clear and as persuasive as we could make it.
We think you’ll agree that our final designs are very persuasive. Would you buy our ‘marvellous medicines?’
A big thank you to our P6 and 7 pupils who attended the Kirk of Calder Christmas Choir Concert on Friday evening. They sang some Christmas songs and songs from their Alice show. A fantastic performance from our choir.
LI: We are learning to use text and colour techniques to represent ideas.
SC: A successful poster will include:
* Picture of the product
* Price
* Slogan
* Persuasive techniques
* Include key information from the text
In class we have been learning all about advertising and persuasive techniques. As part of our IDL Dragon’s Den challenge we have been working in groups to plan and design an advert poster for our own marvellous medicines.
Once we finished our plans we then used the Netbooks to recreate our posters on Microsoft Word then printed them out. It was really interesting learning new computer skills!
Myself, Miss Anderson and Mr Renshaw were so proud of our pupils following the success of our Alice the Musical Show. To celebrate the hard work and dedication shown by all pupils, we held a movie premiere afternoon in class, sharing snacks and having a sing-along to our show, viewed through the West Lothian Council youtube channel. It was lovely to see how all of the different teams of pupils, pulled together to pull off a great performance.
Have look below at some of our cast photos taken on the night time performance…
Fantastic job again boys and girls,

Today our Nursery performed the A-Z of Christmas for their parents and families. Thank you to our P6 buddy’s who narrated the performances, Ben who helped with sound, Grace and Leah who played the piano, the PSA and to everyone who came to support our pupils. We definitely have lots of creative confident individuals in our Nursery, well done!
Alice in Wonderland has taken over P7/6! During book week we have been comparing and contrasting the original Alice In Wonderland with the modern adaptions and of course the original novel by Louis Carroll. We have discovered that books can let your imagination run free and inspire you to improve your own writing. The novel has been quite challenging due to the language and craziness in it, at times it can be hard to follow and very hard to visualise what Wonderland might look like. To help us do this we have been referring back to the original Disney version of 1951.
We have used the films, the novel and of course our own ‘Alice the Musical’to inspire us to create a new front cover or a scene in Alice in Wonderland.
