Book Week 2018
last week was book week 2018. In Primary 2 we learned all about different parts of a book. We can identify the title, the aurthor and the illustrator. We also know that we can read the blurb on the back of a book to get a little idea about what the book is going to be about.
We looked at lots of different books and we found the title, author, illustrator, blurb, barcode and price of the book.
later in the week we had a visit from book bug who very kindly presented us with our read, write count bags for 2018. We had lots of fun.
We recieved our bags, filled with lots of nice things.
We sang some fun songs.
We played games.
We heard a wonderful story.

Goodbye Book Buddies!
Tonight was our final Book Buddies meeting and yet again it was a huge success. Tonight we read Aliens Love Underpants and designed our very own aliens and underpants for them to steal. It was very funny. The boys and girls had lovely things to say about Book Buddies… here are a few of the comments….
I’d definitely come back.- Daniel
My favourite Book was I Am Bat because his eyebrows were funny.- Annie
I liked wearing my PJs. – Robbie

Samuel- I like One Button Benny best.

Well Done Father John !
Father John had the great honour of speaking at the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday 20th November.
Father delivered a wonderful reflection about young people and St. Fergus’ even got a mention!!
His reflection ended with a thought of us encouraging our children to grasp the possibilities of tomorrow. This is a thought that we do daily in St Fergus’.
