All three departments celebrated World Book Day these past two days following our days off school.  Well done to the Nursery and Primary pupils and staff for their fantastic efforts in dressing up as a character from their favourite book.

During their recent English lessons, Secondary 2 pupils have been planning and preparing activities to lead with each of the Primary classes.  They had to consider the pupil’s age and stage and plan suitable, engaging activities to present in their groups.  This was a challenging task for the Secondary 2 pupils but they did well and the activities were enjoyed by each of the Primary classes.

Secondary 1 and Secondary 3 pupils were also involved in paired reading activities with the early year’s classes and it was lovely to see the different ages mix and enjoy reading together.  Thank you to Marina Holzheimer and the Secondary pupils for their time and efforts.

The lower Primary classes were also treated to a workshop with Ann-Marie Anderson.  She read her Peerie Oorick book to them and then they each had the opportunity to create their own Peerie Oorick.  Thank you to Ann-Marie for her engaging story and activity as well as going above and beyond by dressing up as Snow White.

In addition to all of the above, the Primary teachers planned various World Book Day activities including live lessons, draw-a-longs and book reviews.  Well done to everyone for their contributions!
