For Book Week Scotland we’re looking at a different story each day.

Today we looked at The Last Wolf by Mini Grey. This year the whole school is looking at the same book and our taking inspiration from COP26 and looking at a book that encourages us to care for our environment.

In the story Little Red meets the last wolf, the last bear and the last lynx, who are staying together in a little house thinking about the ‘good old days’ when there were lots of forests for them to run, eat and sleep in and when they weren’’t the last of their kind. Little Red decides to help, encouraging everyone to plant more trees.

This morning we made posters to put up asking people to ‘Save our trees!’ We discussed why trees are so important not just for animals but for us too.

In the story there is lots of litter in the forest and this afternoon we talked about how dangerous litter can be for many animals. This afternoon we walked around the school grounds on a litter pick. We worked well sharing the litter pickers and were pleased we could do something to help.

Also today, we read books from our library and this afternoon made our own books to add to it! We talked about we can all be authors and illustrators and came up with stories about unicorns, trains, dinosaurs, a snowman and many more! These are now in our library corner for other children to read.

Here are a few pictures from our day:
