Busy, Busy, Busy in P6/7!

Leave a reply
P6/7 have been busy!
We have been rehearsing for our performance of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In maths, we have been interpreting data from bar, line and pie charts.
We have been focussing on discussion writing and thinking of arguments for and against as well as our own opinion.
We planted our potatoes this week and will be watching them grow and adding more compost as soon as we see the green leaves appear. We are hoping to grow lots.

P5 Visit Sky Academy

Leave a reply

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!

P7 Literacy and Developing Their Reading Culture

Leave a reply

P7 loved reading the book ‘Billionaire Boy’. We wrote book reports which included paragraphs, opinions, conjunctions, and interesting adjectives.

We also put QR codes on our display, which links anyone who scans it to a video of some of the P7’s discussing their opinions about the book.

P5 Continuing to Develop Their Reading Culture

Leave a reply

Primary 5’s celebrated World Book Day and then continued to develop their reading culture in class by creating their very own ‘Starbooks’ café.

Most of us brought our favourite books in from home to read and some of us borrowed a book from the Starbook’s menu. We enjoyed a sweet treat and a nice drink as we read our books. Miss Roscilli put on café background noises, which made us feel like we were in a real reading café.

Persuasive Writing

Leave a reply

We have been learning about persuasive techniques in our writing in P4. Sometimes when we believe in something, we want others to believe in it also and so we might try to get them to change their minds. The word for trying to convince someone to change their mind about something is persuade.

We played some games and activities to practise our powers of persuasion.
