Read All About It! February 9, 2010
Posted by aberladywebclub in : Uncategorized , add a commentP5/6 have been learning about writing Newspaper Articles. We have been writing catchy headlines.
One way of making an interesting headline is to use alliteration. This is when each word of the headline begins with the same letter or sound. Here are some examples:
‘Sinbad Sails the Seven Seas’
‘Wicked Witch Wails After Wizard’
‘Terrible Twins Tease Tiger’
‘Horrible Harold Has Horrifying Holiday’
Another way is to use a pun. A pun is a kind of joke or play with words.
‘Hole Found In Road. Police Are Looking Into It’
‘Sleepless Knights At Haunted Castle’
‘Witch Halloween Trick Can You Do?’
‘Sew Far, Sew Good For The New Embroidery Club’
We have had great fun thinking of these catchy headlines. Can you think of any more?

Everyone enjoyed listening to the story and spotting ‘wow’ words. Instead of water we have gloop in the water tray so that we can make volcanoes. Some children have learned how to use stencils to make dinosaur shapes.

P3/4 active maths February 2, 2010
Posted by aberladywebclub in : Primary 3/4 , add a commentP3/4 have been active mathematicians! We have been incorporating physical activity to provide us with results which we used to create bar charts. An example of these activities included measuring the distance of our jumps, jogging on the spot for 1 minute then recording our heart rate, jumping through a hoola hoop as many times as we could in 1 minute, etc. Each pupil was given an important role within the group to make sure the task was carried out the best we could. This included a time keeper, a recorder, a motivator, a chairperson, etc.
