Primary 4 Sumdog Competition!

I have been keeping an eye on our Sumdog scores for the competition and I would like to say a big well done to those of us in P4 who have joined in! 7 people from our class have entered which means we only need another 3 people to play to qualify and get on the leaderboard!

Extra special mention to Ava B who has currently answered the most questions in P4 in the last 7 days. Well done Ava!

So come on Primary 4, we can do it  if we work together!

Primary 1 – World Book Day

We are learning to … read and listen to stories for enjoyment.

I can … take part in a story.

I can … retell stories in different ways.

I can … share likes and dislikes in stories.

As part of World Book Day, P1 heard lots of new stories and created lots of art and writing linked to them.  We had a big discussion about everything we did and what we thought about reading books.

World Book Day: Supertato

In our workshop, we looked at the book ‘Supertato’ by Sue Hendra & Paul Linnet.  We talked about the main character and looked at a short video about how the authors created the caped potato superhero!

We then discussed the next book, ‘Supertato Veggies Assemble’.  In this book, the vegetables decide to work together as a team of ‘Super Veggies’!  All of the children then created their own super vegetable character.
