To celebrate World Book Day, Primary 6 have been enjoying reading Dracula, an Usborne Classics Retold novel.  We have been looking at some of the themes in the novel, such as the Victorians’ concerns about modern medicine and science and the superstitions and folklore around vampires.

We have also been using our Higher Order Thinking Skills to analyse some of Bram Stoker’s original text.  We have been reading Bram Stoker’s descriptions of Dracula and his castle and then showing our understanding by creating our own castle and life-size Draculas.  The classroom is starting to get pretty spooky!

Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 have been authors this week. Our books are ready and waiting for us to share with you at A Tea, A Tale and A Treat! We hope you can make it along.
