Christmas comes to Blackburn Primary

As the nativity and pantomime practices take over and with pva glue and glitter flying all over the school for Christmas crafts each class found time to add a bit of Christmas cheer to the hall.

 

This year as our focus in school is on raising the profile of reading we have each decided to focus on a Christmas book.

 

P1/2: The Jolly Christmas Postman

A1: The Christmas Tale of Peter Rabbit

P2/3: The Snowman

A2: The Polar Express

P4/5: Father Christmas

P6/7:  How the Grinch stole Christmas

 

 

P2/3 Book Week

Wow, what a great time P2/3 had during book week!  Not only did we have special visits from 3 authors but P2/3 became authors and illustrators themselves.  The children created a sequel to one of their favourite stories ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’.  P1/2 children were invited along to the book launch of ‘The Day the Crayons were Happy’.

The children were also kept very busy organising and running the book swap stall which proved to be very popular!

They also had great fun at the CAPER and P6/7 reading cafe getting all cosied up with some hot chocolate and marshmallows!
