We had a lovely walk in the sun last Friday to the library. Here we are enjoying our new books. Thanks to Dianne and her colleagues at the library, and to our family members who joined us. We hope you enjoyed your morning!
Here we are enjoying the books we bought on our trip to Waterstones in Livingston. We had a good discussion about why we chose the books and then we chose something we liked about the book to put into our Reading Passports. Mrs Sutherland has filmed us talking about our lovely new books, but she’s needing a bit of technical help to put it on the blog – watch this space!
Mrs Sutherland just loves it when she sees someone happily engrossed in a book. It happened today! Have a look at who I found filling in her First Minister’s Reading Challenge Passport with Peppa Pig!
The Fantastics and The Cool Kids had a really busy morning with Mrs Sutherland and Mrs Stevenson.
First of all we did a recap of The Smartest Giant in Town. This was one of our Word Boost books and we did a check up on the important vocabulary we learned.
Here are our boost words – smart, comfortable, match, perfect.
Mr Thompson came into the classroom and we agreed that he looked smart. One of the boys said that his joggers and fleece are comfortable. Skye has a cardigan and pinafore that match. Mrs Stevenson’s gardening club is perfect.
We looked at some very odd pictures. We know that if something is odd it is a bit weird or strange. Can you see what is funny about all of these pictures? We had a good discussion and wrote a sentence to describe each one.
We also worked with Mrs Stevenson to start making up one of the jigsaws that we bought on our trip to Waterstones. There was lots of discussion about corners, sides, colours and pictures. We had a problem to solve as there were two pieces missing from the outside! What could we do to solve this we wondered? We decided we could check that we did have 100 pieces and we talked about the quickest way to count. It all worked out in the end!
One of our P6 pupils has been busy over the Easter holiday! Isn’t this just a fantastic representation of Coraline, with lots of detail? What a great way to extend literacy learning. Visualisation in action.
