Meeting an author during book week!

2 Comments

At the weekend, the end of book week, Miss Robb traveled through to Glasgow to a book signing by Tom Fletcher.

Tom Fletcher is 1/4 of the band McFly (which Miss Robb is a fan of) but he has also wrote a few children’s books with his band mate Dougie Poynter. P2/3 enjoyed reading ‘The Dinosaur that pooped a planet!”.

However Tom Fletcher has just published his first children’s novel ‘The Christmasaurus’. P2/3 are very excited to start reading the story and Tom said he hopes we enjoy it! Im sure we will!

AAL team to the rescue!

Mrs Conaghan was very kind to come into P2/3 class and read them a story about ‘Scaredy Squirrel’ on EPIC.

P2/3 loved the story and wanted to be able to use EPIC to find more stories about scaredy squirrel. Very kindly the AAL team from P4/5 came in to show us how to use EPIC on the ipads. They helped us to set up our profiles, choose what books we liked and how to read them.

Thank you AAL team!

Growth Mindset Feedback

1 Comment

P2/3 created squirrel pictures using Autumn leaves from outside for their tails. We were really proud of our squirrels and so we took them to show Mrs Conaghan and P4/5.

We then took part in a feedback session about what we did really well with our squirrels and what we could try to do next time. Using their own feedback, some pupils in P4/5 then went on to try and make their own squirrel pictures also using leaves and came to show us in P2/3.

All squirrels now share our Growth Mindset feedback tree which is in Miss Robb’s P2/3 class.

Dont they look great!

Trying Thursday Health Week P2/3………

Leave a comment

Our word for the week in P2/3 is “try”. This is to encourage us to try our best at all the activities we are doing this week and also relates to growth mindset which we have been learning about this week.

Yesterday we had the police come and talk to us about being safe on bonfire night.

We also had fun in music with Mrs Lang learning songs about being healthy and also practicing songs for our St Andrews Assembly later this month.

We also had a lot of fun trying kurling for the first time and everyone was really good and worked well in their teams!

We also took on a squat challenge at the start of the week. Using flower by Moby (song) we have to squat when the song says ‘down’ and stay squatting until the song says ‘up’. We managed the whole song yesterday! Watch a short clip of us doing it below:

P2/3 Have had a fun filled start to our Health week. On  Monday we started by doing some Yoga and Dance. Then in the the afternoon we went outside into the MUGA with Mrs McAlpine then Mr O’Toole showed us how to play Golf. On Tuesday we met Jake who took us for Judo which was great fun. Then Sandra did some Zumba which was really exciting! Then at the end of the day we went outside for a daily mile and collected some Autumn leaves to make pictures with them on Thursday.

Looking forward to the rest of the week!
