World Book Day Reading Breakfast (Friday)

We were delighted to welcome so many of our families to celebrate World Book Day.  While waiting on a space for lunch, the bairns listened to their friends’ favourite books.  We had a great selection with lots of different animal stories and more.  We gathered some quotes from the bairns about their WBD experiences – see if you can guess who said it!

“I readed a book wi Luissa.  It was Poppy and Sam.”

“I readed da bat one, it was like bats were sleepin – Mr Bain readed it.”

“I was reading my Beauty book n it had Beauty and the beast is in it.  I was like Beauty.  Mummy readed the owl book and he fell and hurted his leg.  He just needed to find his mummy to get him a plaster.”

“Me and my Mammy was reading da Highway Rat and we were going to read Snail and the Whale but I changed my mind and I went in the sandpit and my feet were freezing.”

“I read a book with Mummy.  We did The Hairy Toe.  My Mum think it was really funny.”

“My book I made, da lion dat eats a giraffe.”

“I am a gingerbread man.  He runs away and a fox eats him.  Dats my favourite book.”

“My Mam got me a ghost book.  It was next to da passage.  My Mam and Dad read my Ghost Hunt.”

“Dad read me a monster book.  Its eat a giant.”

“We read the book that I made – the Viking one.  They said it was great.”

“Dad read a book, had some coffee, den he goed.  Da tiger comed and he eats all da food.”

“So my Mam readed da We’re All Going on a Bear Hunt.  We used da persons and da bear for walking through da water.”

“My Mum read the pop-up sun book with me and Ava.  We saw the pop-up sun and the pop-up ice cream.”

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a successful morning.  Life is better with books!

Play and Learning (Monday-Thursday)

Here is a selection of our play and learning from the remainder of the week.  The bairns have been finding bugs and catching bubbles outside, engaging in imaginative play with the big hollow blocks, putting the Tesco delivery away, finding new places for their magnet play and creating masterpieces out of cardboard and on the smartboard.  We have also had a lot of superhero play following a donation of masks.  We had a visit from Bookbug this week and the story was about a pug called Pig who told the most terrible lies.
