We've had lots of 'firsts' this week in P1 including attending an assembly, visiting the Arc, the canteen, the playground and so much more! We've learned lots about each other and they've all assured me they're coming back on Monday! 😂 Have a fab weekend superstars! 🌟

In Primary 7c it was all about the Big Question! What is Personification? Today I learned that the sun could spit! Lots of collaboration and of course, my visits wouldn’t have been complete without one final story map. ❤️

[Lisa McGroarty HT @ St Michael’s PS @HTStMichaelsInv]

In P6a, I was dazzled by the actions of the story map. A classroom full of confident learners eager to share how their writing toolkit has helped turn them into successful faction report writers. 📝 thank you for having me @MrsMcVNewark and P6a.

[Lisa McGroarty HT @ St Michael’s PS @HTStMichaelsInv]

@NewarkP6B were successfully using their co constructed writing toolkit to complete their end of unit “hot piece”. ❤️

[Lisa McGroarty HT @ St Michael’s PS @HTStMichaelsInv]

@MrGanderson15 and Primary 7b are working on story mapping this morning. I was impressed with how Metaskills are being used to enhance the learning experience. 👌🏿

[Lisa McGroarty HT @ St Michael’s PS @HTStMichaelsInv]

@NewarkP6B were being independent learners today. They have now completed their ‘hot piece’ report, using the steps from their class toolkit. They self assessed throughout their plenary and all have clear, individual next steps. Well done. 👏🏻
