In P6C we’ve started ‘Quick Write’ ✏️ Each day, pupils write for a short burst, then have focused time to edit. They use “circle it out” to keep their writing flow, circling tricky words or parts they want to improve and returning to them during editing time to fix and up-level work.

Our Digital Leaders from P6C did an amazing job at informing us of the pros and cons of using AI and how to use it safely!💻👾 @misscochranehps.bsky.social

Last week we had a visit from Yvonne Manning from @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social to tell us some stories! We absolutely loved her storytelling and has inspired us to be “magic’ storytellers! 📖🪄✨@misscochranehps.bsky.social
