Here are some of our Nursery afternoon class- if you don’t recognise them it’s because they are in disguise! They were dressing up for fun, and giving a donation to the Nepal appeal too. Well done everyone, you look fabulous.

This week, Primary 4 were developing their writing skills…

They were truly terrific when tackling tricky alliteration!

We learned that alliteration is when a writer starts many of his/her words with the same sound. We made up our own alliterative sentences and then tried to write our own alliterative poems.

Here are two fantastic examples below…

The Teacher

The toy tickled the teacher,
The teacher was tiny,
The terrible tot took a tantrum and stole the toy,
The teacher’s tortoise when to sea to swim,
The teacher’s toy took so long to sell so they took it away.

Donut the Dog

The dog Donut liked Daniel’s friend,
Dave Dreary who lived in a dungeon down underground.
It was drippy, damp and dim,
Daniel did something that has never been done before,
He drank a witches potion because a big storm was doing things to Daly town.

Mya McPhail

Well done Logan and Mya. Everyone did really well! Miss McLaughlin had to put in her reading teeth to tackle some of your tantalising tongue twisters!

Until next time…

Primary 4 & Miss M 🙂

 

 

Well done to Katie and Shannon who faced their fear at camp! Neither of them wanted to do the caving as they thought it would be too scary. Then they decided they would have a little try……… then they would stay in for a little bit longer……… girls can you come out now please!

P5 had a fantastic time at school camp at Fordell Firs.  We got the chance to do lots of activities. Caving proved to be very popular! Who would believe getting on your hands and knees in the wet and in the dark would be so much fun! The king swing also proved to be a very popular choice.  We all agreed all of the activities were good and we got a chance to do something we have never done before.
