Dyslexia Unwrapped is an online hub for children and young people with dyslexia.

https://unwrapped.dyslexiascotland.org.uk/

The site contains info, strategies, real life stories and fun stuff too. Also, on the site is See Dyslexia Differently a fab animation all about dyslexia. Check it out at https://youtu.be/11r7CFlK2sc

The important thing to remember is Dyslexia does not mean that you are not smart. It has nothing to do with intelligence and IQ and it comes with many strengths as well as the challenges.

You may recall that for Dyslexia Awareness Week C7 organised a bake sale.  They collected an incredible £344!  Here are the wonderful resources we have been able to purchase with the money raised.  Thank you so much C7.

Nessy Writing Beach is helping some C6 pupils explore the writing process from first to final draft using bullet points to help us.

 

We took advantage of the beautiful sunshine this morning and popped outside to do our phonics lesson.

C6 are using Nessy Writing Beach to help them to develop their writing skills.

“Writing Beach is very clever.  I like playing the games and waking the characters”

 

“I think it’s a fun way to learn about punctuation and writing in general.”

 

“The Hairy Sentences games really make you think.”

Seo sinn a’ cur-ris deichean agus aonadan, a’ cleachdan sràbhan airson ar cuideachadh.  An urrainn dhut an suim seo  a fhreagairt?

 

 

Le bhith a’ coimhead air faclan gu tric, tha e a’ fàs nas fhasa dhuinn an leughadh agus an sgrìobhadh.  Tha sinn air a bhith ag ionnsachadh cuid de na faclan cumanta le bhith a’ cluich a’ gheama ‘Cairt mu dheireadh!’, a tha coltach ris a’ gheama ‘Uno!’.

Pom Pom: Chluich sinn geama airson fàs nas cinntiche le cur-ris. An seo bha againn ri paidhrichean fhaighinn a nì 9.  Cia mheud paidhir diofraichte a th’ann?  0 + 9      1 + 8      2 + 7    3 + 6    4 + 5   …

      Geama – dèan 9

Rocky: Is urrainn dhuinn àireamhan gu 100 aithneachadh agus is urrainn dhuinn an cur ann an òrdugh. Chuir sinn ar sgilean gu feum ann an geama air a’ choimpiutair.
