Wonderful Writing in P1

January 24, 2019 A Mackie Leave a comment

P1 were working hard on developing their story writing today.

Some of the children were challenged to produce a piece of writing that had a different beginning than just ‘I’ and the word ‘and’ to join two sentences.

They all tried very hard but two children in particular produced an amazing piece of work each.

Take a look at their work below. You will both be presented with a Head Teacher’s award at assembly in the morning for your hard work, effort and for achieving the success criteria!

Well done Riley and Ally!

What is the IDL Literacy programme?

January 15, 2019 Mrs Turnbull Leave a comment

At Murrayfield we use an online literacy resource called IDL. All pupils in P4 and P5 have access to the resource as well as some pupils in P6 and P7. Working through the lessons in IDL is beneficial for all pupils as it provides practise on the skills needed to become an effective reader and writer.

The best results are seen when pupils complete at least 1 hour a week on the program. This can be done in school and at home. We would be grateful if you could support your child to log on and complete some lessons at home. Pupils using IDL in school are aware of their username and password.

Further information can be found on the IDL website https://idlsgroup.com/parents

Happy New Year from P4! It has been a busy first week back to school! We are continuing to learn about the Contexts for Learning and will use this for our Blog update every week.

Curriculum Areas & Subjects

Some of us have been doing division with remainders in numeracy. In class maths, we have all been learning about rounding numbers to the nearest 10.

We have been working on imaginative writing, starting with a winter adventure story. We were focussing on including lots of ambitious words in our writing.

Interdisciplinary Learning

We used our reading skills this week to find traditional Scots language. We read the Gruffalo in Scots as part of our new topic all about Robert Burns and Scottish Culture.

We have started practising for our Burns & Scottish Celebration night which will take place on Wednesday 13^th February.

Well done to Sean, Kirsty and Kenzie for working hard during reading this week and getting a Head Teacher’s award!

We hope you have a lovely weekend!
