Debating in P2-9!

In Big Writing we came up with arguments for and against building a bridge from the Isle of Struay to the mainland. The children came up with so many clever arguments for and against the idea. They wrote them down and later we held a debate in the local town hall on the Isle of Struay with Grannie Island and Grandma Mainland arguing both sides.


 A rather happy Grandma Mainland - She may get to see Katie Morag more often.

Some angry locals!

Cheung Chau Photo Story

The wonderful children of P2-9 took lots of photographs on their visit to Cheung Chau island. Then they used PhotoStory to create a short slide show. They worked in pairs to choose photos, add text, change font type, size and colour, add transitions and music. Very impressive! Well done P2-9.

Children, what is your favourite photo and why? Add your comments below.
What would you change about your group's work to make it even better?

Behind the scenes...

Thank you so much to the amazing Mums who helped prepare the children for our class assembly. The costumes, make-up, hair and photos were outstanding!





Some Cheung Chau photos

The children took lots of great photos and videos during their visit to Cheung Chau. They will be making some sildeshows on the computer next week which I hope to add to the blog. In the meantime, here are some of the great photos that Mrs. Locke took.

Secret Door


For book week each class has decorated their door to show a different children's book but they cannot reveal the title. Can you guess which book P2-9 have chosen?
