Today, Thursday 18 May, is National Outdoor Education Day. Every class in our school took part in this event.
We decided to take our literacy circles outside and enjoy reading the next chapter of Roald Dahl’s Boy, in the sun.
We were so glad it was warm and sunny. Sitting in the adventure trail, at the picnic benches or on the grass was very relaxing and much more fun than being inside in a stuffy, hot classroom.
Today our school were lucky enough to have a visit from Ross MacKenzie, the winner of the Blue Peter Best Story Award 2016, with his book The Nowhere Emporium, which Mrs McCulloch is reading to us in class at present. Ross told us about the exciting year has had since his last visit to our school. He has won many awards!
He also told us about his new book, Shadowsmith. He read two chapters to us. It sounds very scary and exciting!
Later, many of us got the chance to buy Shadowsmith, and Ross signed our copies personally! It was very exciting! We cannot wait to start reading it!
