Reading for enjoyment in Primary 2

Primary 2 were very excited to have a visit from local author and illustrator Graeme Watson. We looked at two of his stories before having a go at drawing some of the characters. The wicked witch Fredina Freakly was quite tricky to draw but we had some fabulous results!

‘It was so funny listening to his stories.’ Megan

‘We read a book about a witch and a cat. The cat drank some of the potion and kept changing into different animals. We had a go at making our own funny animal.’ Melody

‘Every time the cat burped it turned into a different thing.’ Isla

‘We drew a witch and a cat. My witch had a very long lip.’ Indi

 

World book day

 

 

Last week was world book day but due to the unsuspected snow we re-arranged it to today. World book day is  all about books and if you want you can dress up as your favourite character from a book.

Innes- “I dressed up as Burglar Bill.”

Ailsa-” I dressed up as Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Kobe-” I dressed up as Harry Potter.”

Tilly-” I dressed up as Snow White.
