Book Week P2/1

We’ve had a super time during Book Week. One of our favourite things was the book mark competition.

Congratulations to Leonor who won a certificate from our class!
We were all excited to receive our Bookbug bags in P1 and our Read, Write, Count bags in P2. We loved listening to one of the stories in the library with Mrs Robertson and our families! We were really pleased to share our learning with our families back in our classroom, and especially enjoyed the juice and biscuits!

We wrote book reviews during our writing lesson. Lots of our books got 5 stars.
We designed book covers for our favourite stories and made sure we had a title, author and illustrator written on them.

We were also very lucky to have a secret reader (thanks to Jude’s Mum in P2!) who came to read one of our favourite Julia Donaldson stories ‘Zog’ and ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.

 

This week in P2

This week has been an amazing week in P2. We have taken part in lots of book week activities such as Drop Everything And Read time, making book covers and bookmarks, creating finger puppets, having a secret reader in our class, watching a live reading session with Julia Donaldson and James Robertson (who translates Julia Donaldsons’ books into Scots language) and also receiving our new Bookbug reading bags.
We were also very lucky to be joined by our family and friends this week for our sharing the learning afternoon where we joined in with lots of other reading activities. Then we also had the chance to visit the book fair this week and read lots of books. It has been a super busy week but it has been brilliant!

P6 Book Week

Using our class novel, Light on Dumyat we applied a range of reading strategies to read and understand texts, for example, skimming, scanning, predicting and summarising. We read in a range of styles from paired to choral to echo and individual. We tried to read with increasing fluency, understanding and expression, using appropriate pace and tone.

 

We also visited the school library where we identified Non Fiction texts associated with our IDL context, Natural Disasters. Also in the library we pair read with our P2 buddies, so using the skills of reading to a different audience. We welcomed Mrs Stewart to our class as our Secret Reader who read a very interesting version of Little Red Riding Hood!

 

On Thursday we made community links with our local Library and enjoyed an afternoon of a variety of tasks all linked to our reading benchmarks and outcomes.

 

Finally, as part of the Book Week competition we all chose a book to either create our own version of the cover, blurb and spine or replicate it as closely as possible. As you can see from the photos we have some amazing artists!
