Show and Tell Stars!

Eddy told us all about Bath Bombs

Eddy wrote instructions, created a poster and asked his family to film him creating them (sharing the video on a QR code), and then showed us his products in class!

“I like the colour of your bath bomb” Olivia
“I like your pictures” Lola
“How did you make the bath [in the poster]?” Charlie
“I like the video” Mohamed
“I enjoyed the video” Mirabelle
“I enjoyed the video” Ediomo

Ediomo told us all about Nigeria

Ediomo and his mum created some posters. We loved hearing the facts, especially about the coat of arms and flag!

“I like the picture of the flag” Lola
“I like ow he was so independent speaking to us” Mustapha
“I like everything” Charlie
“You were very brave” Mirabelle
“Thank you for teaching us about Nigeria” Mohamed

Updated Dates

The pupils requested Show and Tell as it provides them with an opportunity to share something they are passionate about or have been learning about at home. We have loved hearing a wide variety of facts and topics which we wouldn’t usually cover in P2.
Pupils should do as much as they can on their own e.g. writing/drawing, however may need help if creating a video etc.
Please let staff know if you would like any support for your child’s Show and Tell.

Show and Tell Success!

Colin and Miss Copeland and all of Primary 2 would like to thank Aiden and Charlie for kicking off our Show and Tell series so well!

Charlie told us all about The Beatles!

We had some supportive pupil feedback
“Thank you for reading” Ediomo
“I like your talk” Mohamed
“I like your poster” Loai
“I like your costume” Lola
“I like your pictures” Aiden
“I like your music” Yasmine

Aiden educated us all about the Hydra!

“I like all of it” Eddy
“I like the detail in the eyes” Mohamed
“I like everything” Mirabelle
“I like the three heads” Charlie
“I like your hyrdra” Mustapha
“I like your picture, Aiden” Olivia

Timetable

Topics could include but are not limited to; rainbows/scouts, famous footballers, dinosaurs, periods of history, historic events, countries, sports medals, famous person, family member’s life events, religions/festivals, origami – anything that they are really interested in and could talk about for more than 2 minutes and up to 5 minutes.
They could show a poster with pictures they could talk through, bring in objects to show or read a book/comic book that they have made themselves. We are looking for lots of facts, how to do something or stories.

We very much do not want pupils to bring in toys. We would like pupils to share something that they are interested in and share that information/learning with their peers.
Adult support at home will be necessary however we would like pictures and writing to be the pupils own work. Pupils are also allowed to create a video/movie at home which can then be shared as part of their show and tell e.g. videos of the pupil skateboarding, performing ballet or playing shinty.

We hope this will give pupils a voice and opportunity to share something they feel very passionate about! Any questions, please ask!

Names in Property

It’s very upsetting losing property and we do try our best as staff to ensure pupils arrive and leave with their items.

Writing names inside property is the easiest way to ensure their return – there are many creative ways that you can do this now.

Writing your name on the label in a biro pen or permanent marker.
