Holywood Hullabaloo

Hi Everybody,

In lockdown, my best friend Megan, my Nan and I have set up a virtual book club where we read a set amount of a book then discuss it every Thursday on zoom. We just finished “The Boy at the Back of the Class” by Onjali Q. Rauf, which I highly recommend. Now we are going to start reading “The Silver Sword” by Ian Serraillier.

Here are some pictures:

 

See you in three weeks! Byee!

Hi Everyone,

At today’s Big Book Blether Mrs Jardine asked if I knew any good books with settings from around the world, so here are my recommendations:

Early Level:

Hug and other Bobo Stories by Jez Alborough

Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne

Lots by Marc Martin

The Tiger Child – Joanna Troughton

First Level:

Chinese Children’s Favourite Stories by Mingmei Yip

Hans Christian Anderson’s Fairy Tales

The Cat Who Walked Across France by Kate Banks

Three samurai cats : a story from Japan  by Eric A. Kimmel

Second Level:

Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

The Call of the Wild by Jack London

Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah

(Would recommend the last two books for P7 upwards)

 

Finally, here is an extra recommendation for 1st/2nd level, it’s set in London, England, but so many children have been saying on the blog and in the  hub about how we should not drop litter and we should recycle more, so I thought a few of you might enjoy The Wombles series, by Elisabeth Beresford.

Hope you find a story that you enjoy!

I made pancake instructions.

Hello is there a book blether today? I cant find a call invite or a post. I want to tell you all about the part of the enchanted wood Im reading now.

There is a blizzard you need to build a snowmobile.

Here is a piece of space-inspired artwork that Abigail did yesterday.

Yesterday in the hub we enjoyed working on the Big Thursday tasks. Here are some photos of us creating our costume design mood boards for Art and making our maps of the school grounds for Outdoor Learning. We also practised our tennis skills for P.E. out in the sunshine.

Morning Guys! I hope you’ve all had a great week so far. We have a new reading challenge starting next week….

Read Around the World Challenge!

As a school we will be travelling the world through books! Your challenge is to read books that are set in different countries OR by authors from different countries. We will have a display board up in school so we can track the different countries we visit.

Where will our reading take us???

How many countries will we visit???

There is more information on the BIG READ page on the blog.

Hopefully see some of you at 10am for a Book Blether!
