This week we have been loving learning all about books! We focussed on Julia Donaldson books and managed to find loads of books in our class library written by her! We read :

The Gruffalo

The Gruffalo’s Child

A Squash and a Squeeze

Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book

Room on the Broom

The Scarecrow’s Wedding

Monkey Puzzle

What the Ladybird Heard

Aila managed to go to the library and pick up more books by Julia Donaldson too! She found ‘Wake up do, Lydia Lou’ and ‘Paper Dolls’. The library is a fantastic resource! Well done Aila for visiting!

 

We we really loved learning all about the Gruffalo this week! On Tuesday some of us went on a Gruffalo Hunt outside! Look at our learning!

We found clues that led us to characters! Once we came back inside, there were some interesting treats for us! We ate roasted fox, scrambled snake and owl ice cream (or at least we pretended to).

 

We focussed on the reading strategy ‘connecting’ this week. This is when you read a book and you think about how it connects to your life. We played a game called ‘I remember when…’ as Miss Kinloch read ‘What the Ladybird Heard’. Have a look at our connections below!

Book week is all about loving reading. Here are some photos of us relaxing in our library reading our favourite books.

 

We we have started to realise that our tricky words and key words are not just inside our reading books! We explored library books looking for words we knew already!

P1 have had a wonderful week full of stories and reading! Please continue to read to us and tell us stories at home!
