Adventurous Authors

Article 28

You have the right to education

While we were learning about the rainforest, we discovered that some of the non-fiction books we were using for research did not have all the information in them that we needed, so Primary 5 were set a challenge to create our very own non-fiction books.  The books had to have an eye-catching title and front cover, had to contain a contents page, a fun page, a glossary and at least four chapters.

Over the holidays, Mrs Buchanan-Coutts and Miss King looked over them, giving us a grade and a certificate that depended on how well we met the success criteria.  Our teachers thought that some of us put in a tremendous amount of effort and really pushed ourselves to go above and beyond our targets and those people received an additional special prize, so well done to Sara, Murray, Jonathan, Hannah, Neive and Marco.

If the authors agree, any gold certificated books will be put into the topic box library for future use by other children in our school.
