What a busy, booktastic day, with some fantastic costumes from our class.
Book Swap
First thing this morning we visited the hall to choose books from the book swap tables. Everyone was delighted with their new books and couldn’t wait to get back to class to enjoy them.
Book Scavanger Hunt
Next we followed the clues around the school to solve the book puzzles and discover the letter combination.
Ilaria was delighted to win the book prize.
Guess Who
Next we scoured the photos of staff from their childhood along with a picture of their favourite book. Everyone in p4/5 found Mrs Ross on her first day at primary school with her huge bag and copy of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
Jim was the best detective and worked out who 6 of the staff were!
Author Visit
The final treat before lunch was a visit frim the children’s author, Rachel McGaw. She read her story The Unicorn in the Castle and then we were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of her brand new unreleased book.
In our novel The Boy with the Bronze Axe, we have been learning about the different jobs and skills people had in the stone age. They made their pots from clay and were skilled pottery makers who created pots and added decorations to their design.
We became potters for the afternoon. We used air dry clay and shaped and decorated our pots.
We have been creating art using different media. This week we experimented with salt art. We learned that the salt quickly absorbed the water colours and spread along the line of salt. Our finished thistles look fantastic.
We are very excited that we have earned our 20 secret student points and now have earned a class reward.
We have planned our own day for Thursday 21st December :
9-10.40 am – Board Games( you can bring a board game from home – no electronics)
10.55- 12.35 – Movie(you can bring an oodie/ small blanket and soft toy to use while watching this film and you can also bring a small extra snack to eat while you watch the film)

Today everyone had the chance to choose some new books for our class library.
The Reading Schools Committee sent us a box of donated books for us to have a look through and choose to restock our class library. Mrs Ross had also been to a charity shop and chosen some books for us to look through too.
Everyone found some new authors and titles to try.
We were also delighted to find that the mobile library had also listened to some of our requests and ordered in some animal books and escape room books for us to read in class.
