Thank you to all our parents and grandparents who came along to our literacy open afternoon yesterday.
We enjoyed sharing some of the literacy activities that take place in our class every week including visualiser, clarifier, spelling and grammar tasks.
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.
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.
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!
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.
