Thank you to David Ironside @braeshighschool.bsky.social for delivering an engaging on Learning Intentions and Success Criteria which challenged thinking and sparked discussion amongst our probationer colleagues. We look forward to session 2 in the new year. 😀

A huge thank you to Yvonne Manning @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social for inspiring us to share a love of reading for enjoyment in our classrooms and for sharing the positive impact that this can have on our learners. 📚📖🫶🏼

This week we explored planning using the Literacy Progression Pathways to meet the needs of all learners. We then took time to share our own weekly plans with our peers and discussed our non negotiables and personal choice when it comes to creating our own plans. 📔

Snack stop on our travels!

We found a shady spot for a story outside this afternoon ☀️ @lauriestonp2-1.bsky.social

‘The Gingerbread Man’ was our focus fairytale for this week. After sequencing the order of the characters in the story, we explored the setting.
We used our imaginations to create dioramas with new settings….
You can’t catch me I’m a gingerbread man….

The Midnight Fair is becoming a firm library favourite! We love this wordless picture book because we can make up our own words! @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social

In today’s library session we have been learning about non-fiction books. This little learner loved this castle book with secret flaps! 🏰

On our way to Callendar woods we always try to imagine what this might be…..some of the guesses so far….
a dinosaur? 🦕
a dragon? 🐉
a mythical sea creature 🌊
The possibilities are endless!
