Yesterday Mrs Keith came to visit us and do some work all about what makes good communication.

We know you have to look at the person when you are speaking to them, speak clearly and speak in a loud voice.

We loved all her teddies.

On Friday we read ‘The Train Ride’ by June Crebbin.

We split into pairs and made our own story maps to tell the story.

As part of the Scottish Book Trust’s Bookbug programme every primary 1 and primary 2 pupil has been given a free bag of books and resources to encourage reading, writing and counting at home.

Book Week Scotland is next week but since it is an Inservice day on Monday and Tuesday we handed out the bags today.

Enjoy the books and resources.
