Preparation is underway for our school Christmas Fayre next week when P2/3 will have responsibility for the toy stall. We’ve been busy learning about coins and making posters for our stall. We’re still looking for donations so please hand in any toys to the office before Wednesday.
We’ve had great fun celebrating Book Week Scotland and loved our reading lunch on Thursday. P2/3 found some really creative places to cosy up and read.
Everyone loved receiving their Read, Write, Count bags and were excited to share all the literacy and numeracy gifts with their families. We had a lovely time in class sharing the stories and used the ideas to plan our Mighty Writer lesson for next week.
We’ve made the most of Book Week Scotland and everyone enjoyed cosying up in front of our (virtual) crackling fire to enjoy stories.
In writing this week we used Mighty Writer to help us to retell the story of Goldilocks. Look out for our stories on our writing jotters. In our version Goldilocks didn’t eat porridge but something else that was scrumptious! Congratulations to Abu Baker and Lloyd who were this week’s Star Writers.
Everyone is looking forward to hearing about the children’s favourite books next week and it has been lovely to read of the children’s thoughts on our school values this week in homework jotters and in online profiles.
In our topic this week we have looked at the role of the dentist in the community and thought about the skills that a dentist needs.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Caskie and Mrs Keegan
What a brilliant reading week. Lots of exciting things happening. Looking forward to the Christmas Fayre and seeing everyone.
