Scholastic Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair arrives on Thursday 23^rd March in school and will be available until Wednesday 29^th March including the the evening of parent’s consultations.

The Rights Respecting School Committee group working with Mrs Telfer have made it their ‘quest’ to build our library and book selection.  They have set a target of £600.  If we sell £600 worth of books we get 50% of the total sales back to spend on books for our school. For every 2 books we sell we will get one free! 

The RRS group have also come up with a reading quest competition. Each child in the school has been given a challenge to read as many books as they can between Wednesday 15^th and Monday 27^th March. To keep track of this they have been issued with reading quest booklets.

On each page children should complete an a short review for every book they have read. Then have it signed by an adult in or out of school and return the completed book to school by 27th March. There will be a £5 book token up for grabs for each class PLUS the opportunity to win a further £5 token for the overall winner.

Your support with this project would be much appreciated. If you would like more information please access this link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/

Primary 6/7 enjoyed sharing their learning at the assembly last week.  It was also great to have parents in class to see our great work and learning.  Here are some pictures of our work.

We have been learning about:

-rich a poor families in Tudor times

-Henry VII and his six wives

-the use of the Coat of Arms in Tudor times (and designed our own)

Primary 1/2 have made some Viking necklaces.
Ruaridh said, “First we made beads from clay.”
Isaac said, “Then we painted them.”
Ross said, “I liked that we had a choice of colours to choose from when we were threading our beads.”
Layla said, “I like the gold colour.”
Quinn said, “I liked to put the beads in the Viking onion paint.”
Alison said, “I liked learning to thread the beads.”
Cameron said, “I liked painting with the gold colour.”
Libby said, “I like that we get to take the necklaces home.”

We are presenting Roman talks that we researched at home.

We are also making Roman shields that are red, gold,silver, bronze and white.

We are also making persuasive Roman Army posters.
