P4/5 loved having their families in to share in their Literacy learning. We worked on reciprocal reading skills and were able to teach our adults these skills. It was so lovely to share some ERIC time with them too.
As part of our Children in Need focus last week, P4/5 worked in teams to Escape the classroom through solving Children in Need Literacy clues to identify the code to unlock the room.
Well done to the winning team who managed to get out first!
At Coding club over the last two weeks we have been developing our knowledge and skills through the use of code.org and Scratch. We have coded our own game of Flappy Bird, achieved certificates for our hours of code and animated our names using code.
This afternoon was our very first coding club.
We started our introduction to coding by learning how to code our beebots. We then used the kapla blocks to build a track/maze and coded our beebots to travel through it.
Our P7 Girls Cross Country Team travelled to Deans HS to take part in the WL Championships.
The day was very wet and muddy, but our team wouldn’t let the weather beat them!
Well done girls, we are very proud of you!
Halloween has featured a lot in our learning in P4/5 over the last week! One of our favourite experiences was experimenting with static electricity to make our spooky ghosts fly!
Our after school clubs are back up and running at Toronto!
Today we had both Multi Sports and Bikeability clubs. Our pupils are really enjoying learning new skills!
P4 have been creating a text map of the water cycle as part of their explanation writing.
We have been working to make our playground areas fun places to be during break times. Our PSW staff have been leading games and activities with our children and we have seen such a positive impact. The pupils are engaged, helping each other, using their imaginations and becoming more independent in leading these activities themselves.
Our playgrounds are such positive places to be!
