We have had a wonderful week this week with Kids Gone Wild, our class trip to Sky and our visit from our Partner Poet. Lead Learners saw lots of examples of great work.

Things that went well.

• Our persuasive letters we sent to Aldi’s last week resulted in a phone-call  this week from the store manager donating items for our Burns Extravaganza!
• Our trip to Sky Academy!
• We created a film about the loss of habitats and we were able to demonstrate our skills working in a team as well as learning about what is involved in the jobs of a  camera operator, director, screen writer and producer. I think we have lots of children interested in a career in film, media or reporting.
• We have enjoyed writing our Toast to the Lassies and Toast to the Laddies. We were lucky enough to have our Partner Poet, Colin Mitchell come in to visit as and give us guidance and tips for our Burns event.
• We have been working on preparing our Scottish Burns Extravaganza for Senior Citizens.
• Kids Gone Wild – we went to the woods, built dens and got to climb trees.
• Learning our Scottish Dances with Sports Captains from Deans.

 

Things we need to get better.

• Remembering the words of our poems to recite them.
• Reading out some Scottish words and spelling and pronouncing some others.
• Working on more complex pattern and sequences in math’s – it was a bit tricky at times identifying the pattern.
