Reflective Reading – Short read

This morning we worked in trio’s, each person had their own job. We chose the roles in our own groups based on our strengths. The choices were Recorder, Reader and Manager. We had to read every word in the passage in order to find and replace the silly words with sensible words. Abby found it particularly funny as her prior knowledge meant she knew that Polar Bears did not, in fact, eat crisps! We discussed the skills needed to complete this task and shared our answers at the end.

 

Author visit from Stuart Reid

Yesterday we had a visit from Scottish author Stuart Reid.  He became an author at 42 after realising that he wasn’t happy in his job. He showed us the books he has written and read some extracts from them We got to act the parts out to make the stories really come to life. We were given the opportunity to buy a signed copy of the books.
