P6/7 have been very busy organising a buddy reading project for P1. This has been to link in with Book Week Scotland which runs from 23-29 November 2015.
From a selection of books our P6/7 pupils voted on reading Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar by Emily Mackenzie to their buddies. In class the children practiced using their voices effectively to hold their audiences attention and forming questions which would check their listeners understanding. They also created activities that the P1 class could do to consolidate their understanding of the story and to have FUN together!
The project got under way today and it was a great success. The P6/7 loved modelling their reading skills to the wee ones and the super activities kept everyone busy. A carrot treasure hunt ended up in our new look library and we hope to see our P1s enjoying books in there too!
