📚✨ P6/7 Reading Focus ✨📚

2nd Oct 2025

Today Mrs Devlin joined Mr Reilly’s P6/7 class for their reading lesson, where the children explored their novels Under the Hawthorn Tree and Matilda.

 

The lesson began with the children watching interviews with the authors, as well as reflecting on our own author visit with Stuart Reid earlier this week. The pupils then stepped into the shoes of their favourite characters, creating open-ended questions and thoughtful replies. Taking it a step further, they recorded themselves as both interviewers and characters — a fantastic way to bring their novels to life! 🎥🎤

 

This was a wonderful interactive session, not only developing reading and comprehension, but also building cross-curricular skills by incorporating ICT. 🌟

 

Well done P6/7 – super work! 👏
