Welcome to the language centre page of the Murrayfield blog.
Last week we were finding out about the names of different vegetables. We discussed the size, shape and colour of the vegetables. We chopped them and made them into soup, we used lots of words to describe the taste of the soup.
The children in the Language Centre have been learning more about day and night during the Winter season.
After the big storm they were amazed to find that Percy the Park Keeper had a storm to deal with too and very kindly made new animal homes for the story characters. They reflected on what Percy and the story characters might say to one another and used their sound mats to write their ideas in speech bubbles.
We have also transformed the playroom into an elves workshop and are busy preparing for Christmas!
Inspired by the experience of paired reading with the P6 class druing Scottish Book Week the P2/1 Language Class shared their books ‘In the Garden’ about the seasonal changes observed in Autumn with their older reading buddies.
For three weeks now, P6 have been reading with P1F. We have shared a variety of books from the Scottish Book Trust. We have read Jumblebum, Paper Dolls and What’s the Time Mr Wolf?
We have been doing lots of exciting things with our buddies, like reading and writing our own book reviews. ‘It was a pleasure to read to them’ said one P6. We feel that this has developed our confidence when reading out loud. One of our P6’s said ‘it has build our confidence to read better to them!’.
Some of the P6’s went down to the language centre and wrote our book reviews with the children in the language centre. We used our creativity and also evaluated the three books.
We can’t wait to read to our buddies next week!
