The children in the Language Centre, P1 and P6 are very much enjoying peer reading sessions using the three Scottish Book Trust award titles – Jumblebum, The Paper Dolls and What’s the Time Mr Wolf?  The P6 children are proving to be very good role models to our younger readers.

The children in the Language Centre are using the context of the Percy the Park Keeper stories to explore the change in season from Summer to Autumn.  One day we even spotted Percy’s wheelbarrow in the school garden!  They have been collecting leaves, berries and nuts for the Autumn table and building up their vocabulary of Autumn nouns, verbs and adjectives.  To understand why the days feel shorter and colder they watched a science video and used a globe and torch to explain their understanding.  The children have played games hiding woodland creatures under leaves and describing them to their classmates to help visualisation and verbalising skills.  Autumn is a time for festivals and we learnt more about how Christians, Hindus and Jewish people celebrate including making a Sukkah shelter.
