What a week we have had!! On Wednesday we celebrated Scottish Book Week by having a gifting party. The Scottish Government has provided early child from P 1-3 with a book bag filled with lots of goodies including two brilliant reading books. Today we have had a come as a book character day. We dressed up as our favourite book character. In class we read Stickman by Julia Donaldson and enjoyed doing a book review, what comes next sheet, a wordsearch, colouring sheet, making our own stickman and lastly making a stickman on a biscuit with sticky buttercream. Yummy!!!

What a busy week we’ve had selling our products and running our services at break and lunch times. Each business has been given two break times/ lunch times and so far every business has been prepared and are making profit! Some businesses have even sold out on their first day and had to restock for the next day – whilst keeping on top of homework/ after school clubs etc! There’s been a few glitches along the way but we see them as learning opportunities and we’ve certainly learned a lot! Thank you to everybody who has supported the businesses so far. We will be continuing with them next week!
