Last few of #WorldBookDay2024. As part of our Reading Cafe, we were lucky enough to get hot chocolate and shortbread biscuits! @SLCLiteracy @mrsfrenchlps @MissSlater_ @LeadhillsS

To finish #WorldBookDay2024, we invited parents and community in to take part in our Reading Cafe! We shared books which we had recommended as well as books chosen for our tasting menu. @mrsfrenchlps @MissSlater_ @LeadhillsS @WorldBookDayUK @SLCLiteracy

We had a chance to complete a book quiz, or create our own book… @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS @SLCLiteracy

After playtime, we joined in with @BBCLiveLessons for World Book Day. We enjoyed sharing our ideas about what books should be in libraries for both fiction and non-fiction sections! @LeadhillsS @mrsfrenchlps @SLCLiteracy

More book dens! @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS @SLCLiteracy @WorldBookDayUK

@LeadhillsS had the best day celebrating World Book Day. First up we shared who we came as and from which book. Then we built dens to read in. @SLCLiteracy @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS

Yesterday afternoon Primary 1-7 continued their learning in Athletics. They were learning about different types of throws, including Javelin and Shot put and how our stance and body position should be different for each. @LeadhillsS @mrsfrenchlps @MissSlater_ @ActiveSchoolsSL

Yesterday Primary 1’s were learning about numbers to 100. They were using a hundred square to find numbers, and sequencing numbers to 50. @SLCNumeracy @mrsfrenchlps @MissSlater_ @LeadhillsS

On Tuesday P5-7 were using a story mountain to plot out their new class text, ‘The Time-Slip Scarab’. They decided which parts belonged in each post of their mountain. @SLCLiteracy @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS @PieCorbett

Working with Primary 1 yesterday. Completing their learning on Money, they were asked to give totals of money and then find the change from 5 or 10p. They also had challenge of making each total in at least two different ways. @MissSlater_ @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS @SLCNumeracy

They also cam up with some brilliant questions which they wanted to ask. One P6 had their question answered by the leader of the lesson. We got to find out about what make-up in Ancient Egypt was made out of… Ask us to find out! 💄

@LeadhillsS Primary 1-7 joined in with @NtlMuseumsScot’s Ancient Egyptian Live Lesson today! They learnt about canopic jars and heiroglyphs, amongst other things. They got a chance to look at artefacts and guess what they might have been used for. @MissSlater_ @mrsfrenchlps

@LeadhillsS Primary 1’s today have been learning their common words. They then used pasta to write the words and their words with the ‘sh’ phoneme. @MissSlater_ @mrsfrenchlps @SLCLiteracy

P1-7 started a block on athletics and fitness today. First we discussed the different sports and skills this involved. They then started by developing their stamina by working at fitness stations. @MissSlater_ @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS @ActiveSchoolsSL

P1 are working with Money this week. They found items in the classroom, which we then gave prices to. When their items were bought they had to give the correct change from 5 or 10p. @MissSlater_ @mrsfrenchlps @LeadhillsS @SLCNumeracy

This afternoon @LeadhillsS P1-7 cooked pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. They used a wide range of Literacy & Maths, as well as cooking skills to create their pancakes, which they loved. @mrsfrenchlps @MissSlater_

This morning @LeadhillsS Primary 1-7 launched their Ancient Egypt topic. As part of the lesson, the children explored different artefacts and gathered ideas together about what they see, and what they might already know. @MissSlater_ @mrsfrenchlps

@LeadhillsS then moved on to Art. With our wonderful Mr Foley showing off his best skills, pupils are using clay to create small plaques of Miners who worked down the Lead Mine in Wanlockhead in years past. Excited to see how these beauties turn out! @mrsfrenchlps @MissSlater_

Fabulous first day back after the long weekend 🥰 This afternoon @LeadhillsS P1-7 planted a variety of seeds to grow indoors before planting out in spring. Before they could plant any, they had to find out which would be best to grow and how to plant them! @mrsfrenchlps
