There has been alot of excitement in primary one because we are writing our own book! We have been thinking very carefully about all of the different things we have learnt over the past term and our teachers were really amazed! WE KNOW LOTS!!!!! First of all we made a flipchart on the computer and gave each subject a page of its own then we gave each page a title. Next, we looked at what facts the readers would want to know about all of the areas in the book – that was tricky because we know so much! After that we designed the title cards and illustrations for our book. We wrote a blurb which is very important beacuse it is how you know if you will like a book and tells you what it is about. We still have to make our contents page and our covers but we have a great title for our book and can’t wait to make them next week and publish it- we are sure that it will be a best seller!

In the Active Learning Zone we have been wowing our teachers with how good we are at reading and using the iPad. We have been using an app called QuickQuote and we have read stories all by ourself recorded them on one for our iPads. We hope to have them here for you to listen to soon because they are really good.
