P2/1 – Fairyland

Fairyland

The Frog Prince visited P2/1 to let us know that there were problems in Fairyland and he needed our help. The 3 little pigs had lost their home and needed help finding somewhere to stay.

We made new houses for the 3 little pigs using different materials. We enjoyed it so much, we then made our own characters from the story and performed a puppet show in class.

Fairyland also needed help finding The Gingerbread Man so we talked about interesting adjectives to describe him and then made a “wanted” poster that could help track him down.

After reading the story, the Elves and the Shoemaker, we found out that the Elves needed some help measuring the feet of some Fairyland characters. We measured these in class by counting squares.

The Elves also gave us a special design job. We had to create a pair of shoes for Cinderella to wear at her wedding to Prince Charming.  Cinderella was very fussy and wanted certain things on her shoes, so we needed to make sure our design had all the things she wanted.

P2/1 have had a great time helping Fairyland!

 

P1 Book Pen Pals

P1 and P2/1 had some very exciting mail this week.  We received our first postcard from our new Book Penpal, Sophie Ambrose!  We loved reading about Albie, the warthog in her book ‘Bedtime for Albie.  We even had a shot of becoming illustrators by drawing Albie. We hope you like our pictures.  We will write you a postcard soon next week.

 

Book Week Scotland Dress Down

A gentle reminder that children can come to school dressed as a book character for Book Week Scotland on Friday 20th November (tomorrow). If they would not like to take part in this event, we would request they wear school uniform as normal. There is no donation for this event.

How do we teach writing?

In this video, one of our Literacy Champions, Miss McLaughlin, explains how we use a resource called PM Writing to support with the teaching of writing. All classes across the school use this process to ensure consistency and progression in learning.

P5 Fairy Creation

As part of their book focus the children are going to create their own fairy to take part in the Artemis Fowl book ‘Time to Believe’ which we are reading for their class novel.

LI: To develop our art skills

SC: I can…. draw in detail

I can…. experiment with colour

I can….. label correctly

The children were to draw a detailed picture of the fairy they would like to create. They were to experiment with a range of colours in their drawing to help to bring out their fairies features. Then they were to label their fairy to show what resources they would need to create a 3d model of their fairy.

P4 Learning and Halloween Celebration

As part of our book study topic, P4 have been comparing and contrasting poetry by Roald Dahl and William Shakespeare to identify onomatopoeia, alliteration, rhyming patterns and repetition.

They have used this to write an original poem to include these literacy techniques.

On Friday P4 also celebrated Halloween by dressing up and watching Halloween cartoons with their treat.  As an activity they created bat book marks.
