We have been working hard to develop our library into a more useable space and to help us rediscover our fantastic books.
We now have two sections to the library, upstairs we have non fiction and downstairs we have fiction. Fiction books have been reorganised so they are by author’s surname, and are now much clearer to find.
The library is now much more useable and is a great space for us to use.
P4/5 are learning about the Vikings this term and have been reading a book called “The Chessmen Thief” by Barbara Henderson.
The book is about the Lewis chessmen and their journey, and part of the book takes place in Orkney. In linking up with Orkney Library, we were able to invite the author to visit us!
Barbara read some of the book to us, tested our Viking knowledge (she declared us to be Viking experts!) and also gave us an insight into the writing and publishing process. She was very impressed with our questions and ideas, she even tweeted about our reflective reading covers as she loved our artwork! It was fantastic to meet the author behind our class novel and we are now looking at her other books to see what we could read next!
