Targets Achieved in P1/2
Read a Book Day
Another way we celebrated Read a Book Day at Toronto was for Primary 1 and 7 to spend time reading with their buddies. The Primary 7s did a great job at helping their P1 buddies choose a book to read together and take home. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
Read a Book Day
To celebrate Read a Book Day, Toronto Primary took part in a Teacher Reader Swap. Each teacher took their favourite short story to read to another class. It was a great way to celebrate reading and everyone enjoyed listening to a lovely story from a different teacher!
Book Week Open Morning
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.
P4’s Water Cycle Text Map
P4 have been creating a text map of the water cycle as part of their explanation writing.
Outdoor Learning With P2
Primary 2 are really enjoying their outdoor learning again, now that the weather is getting better. They have been sharing books and stories, setting up the hammock independently and collecting rubbish from our site.
Busy, Busy, Busy in P6/7!
What’s in the news?
In P3 we have been learning about the features of newspapers. We have been working together to read newspaper articles and to find evidence by skimming and scanning the text.
P5 Visit Sky Academy
Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.
Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.
It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!
