This morning we wrote a report about Martin Luther King Jr!! Nicole liked the story and so found it easy to do. Carly felt that by hearing the story and talking about it on Monday made her remember more facts. Katy found it interesting. Blair found it is good he wrote 3 pages! He then re read his work and checked he had everything I was looking for. His piece of writing was then peer assessed in a small group. He is very pleased with it.
In the afternoon they enjoyed hearing the story of The Fish That Could Wish by John Bush and Korky Paul. Mairi thought it was good because it linked to our project because Martin Luther King Jr had a wish. We then loved hearing about everyones dreams - some wanted to fly, some wanted animal cruelty stopped and some just wanted lots of sweets! We then thought about how we wanted to display our dream work.
I liked talking in the room to practice what I was going to say to the class.
I liked when we read the story because I thought it was good. I liked to imagine the 2 schools - one being nice and new and the other being old.

In fact I thought the story was actually quite sad but at the end it was quite happy because the boy spoke up and so everyone could drink from the water fountain, go to different restaurants and go to any school.
It was good because we had to choose our own partners.
This morning the children were learning about Martin Luther King Jr and why sometimes rules can make people angry. Read the rest of this entry »

I am now working within my own school - Campie Primary School, Musselburgh - with P2a and Miss Claire Flagerty. The 3 main outcomes for the project are: that the children will understand their basic needs (physical and emotional) and be able to to identify ways in which they are met, that the children will understand rules and the need for them,
and the children will know that there are different viewpoints within a disagreement. Read the rest of this entry »
