Today P6C  were continuing with making reading corners. They had to search up book corner themes on google and when they found one they liked , search up that specific theme. They then went on to IKEA to get some things to match the theme they had chosen. They have a £50 budget and can’t  go over it, so they had to be careful about what they bought. They also had to make a poster to draw a rough copy of what their book corner was going to look like.

Today P6C listened to a presentation from the Primary 7’s Reader Leaders. Because we only have 2 more pupil groups left this year, we thought we should look at our action plan and see how we are doing. All of the Primary 7 leaders talked about the action plan and what they have completed and what we still need to complete. after that Mrs King gave a quick presentation about what we are going to be doing today. Mrs King explained that we are going to work on the last targets on our action plan – to look for book corner/area themes and design one for a year group of our choice.  Once we found a book corner theme we like, we will search up that specific theme and draw and label the plan for our book area. Then we will find items that suit our theme on the Ikea UK website to keep a running cost. We have a £50 budget for each class that the Parent Council kindly granted us and we cannot go over the limit.

On Wednesday, the P7 Reader Leaders explained that we should check over our pupil group action plan to make sure we have covered all our action points because we only have a couple of meetings to go before the end of the year. So, all of the P7 Reader leaders took a section of the action plan each and led groups of p6s.

Our groups had to say what we had done so far with each action plan point, how well we had done it or what we plan to do with it.  In our next meeting the p7 Reader Leaders will present all of this to the whole of primary 6c so that everyone knows where we are at with the action plan.

The groups made power point pages for the presentation. Some of the things on the actions were making book recommendations or designing lanyards so the younger students can ask about reading to the older students.

Everyone worked together (see photos below)  and the powerpoint will be shared on this blog as well as with P6c and P4a at the next meeting.

Today  Primary 6c  worked on some of their e-books for younger pupils.

Some of the group made videos for school assemblies recommending good reads.

Another group worked on questions to help them when they lead a P3 Book Blether group at lunchtime. The questions will ask the P3s about the books they like and if they would recommend them to others.

They also finished off their posters on welcoming Cressida Cowell because  she is coming to visit our school on Tuesday which will be broadcast to some classrooms.

She is the author of the best selling series How To Train A Dragon and The Wizard Of Once.

They have made some amazing pictures. Here are some of them.

Today the Primary 6’s have been designing their own badges after being inspired by one of the Primary 7’s designs. They have made some impressive designs. Here are some photos. Many of the designs are very colourful and creative.

The badge designs will be made into lanyards so the P6’s can wear them in the playground and other places around the school. The lanyards say ‘ask me what I’m reading’ to encourage people to talk about books.
