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!
P7 Literacy and Developing Their Reading Culture
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
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.
Finger Light Handwriting
P2 have been developing their handwriting using finger lights and the smart board. We completed additional practice on the floor before using our jotters.
P7 Take on Tam!
Tuesday was a day to celebrate Robert Burns!
In P7, we read Tam O’Shanter. We discussed the language in the poem and it’s meaning.
We recorded each other reciting the poem, created a QR code and displayed them in the hall for everybody in the school to enjoy!
Learning How To Build A Scarecrow
P1b read a non- fiction book, all about how to make a scarecrow.
Then we made our own Scarecrows.

Persuasive Writing
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.
