We set success criteria as we considered how OPENERS can hook a reader in to our stories. We took part in a carousel activity to identify the sights, sounds and smells that are special to us in our homes this season.

P6/7 Reflect on our Nurture Afternoon
Today, we spoke a lot about the benefits of our Nurture afternoon yesterday, when we spent time with members of our family and our staff watching a film. We discussed how us, our families and our school form a triangle and we’re always thinking of ways to help strengthen the bonds between all three parts of the triangle. We decided that the stronger these links are, the more successful learners we will become. Here are some quotes about what people in our class thought about yesterday:
“It really brought the school together and made everyone friendlier”
Macauley
“It brought our school community together”
Tiegan
“We learned about friendship”
Oliwier
“It gave us time to bond with our families”
Katie
“It showed us how similar we all are”
Coni
“It lets our families bond with our school and the staff”
Calvin
“It gave us time to relax and have fun with our families and our teachers”
Eilidh
Our Visit to the Cenotaph
P6/7 joined up with P4/5 this afternoon to visit our local War Memorial. We looked at the statue and at the poppy wreaths that had been left on Remembrance Sunday. We also paid our own respects and left our class memento beside the other wreaths. We had a one minute silence and said some prayers.
Lest We Forget!
P4/5 visited the Children in need stall today…..
Luke was great at telling us what each of the Pudsey activities were and how our money can help children in need this year. Zak enjoyed guess the sweets in the jar and Lauchlin said his favourite was Guess Pudsey’s birthday .There will be more on sale in our library tomorrow so bring some pocket money !
P4/5 at cook school this morning…
Plotting against the King in our drama this week in P5….
Ross said it was fun and we learned lots of history facts at the same time.
Robbie enjoyed creeping around and moving suspiciously like Guy Fawkes would have done.
Lauchlin was great at role playing his part as a member of the Houses of Parliament and gave an interesting speech in support of King James.
The conspirator team came up with a good way of escaping for a while……..
Connectives are wonderful for writing our Gunpowder Plot stories…..
We sequenced the storyline from our drama lesson and watched a video of ourselves to enable us to give positive feedback to our peer group. After that we played some connective games before planning our writing to share with P4 tomorrow…..
