P3 Homework grid Nov 9th

You will also be able to access it on Seesaw.

We have loved seeing all of your learning on Seesaw. It is helping you to become more confident when sharing your learning with others.

One of your next tasks is to prepare a short class talk about the job you would like to do in the future.

We will ask you to give your talk some time after Monday 23rd of November.

We are looking forward to enjoying lots of lovely book activities during Book Week Scotland which begins on Monday 16th November.

Keep up the good work!

P2M and P2W Author/Illustrator Visit

Last Thursday 5th March 2020 was World Book Day where we were lucky enough to have a special visitor join us during Literacy time. Kate McLelland, local author and illustrator shared her different novels with us and taught us some of her amazing drawing techniques.

We enjoyed learning all about how novels are made and how hard everyone involved has to work to make sure it is successful.

NURSERY BOOK WEEK

Thank you so much to the parents who kindly came into Nursery to read to the children.  The children really enjoyed having someone different read to them during Book Week.  We really appreciate the time you gave up to do this.

Book Week in P2M

We have had a very busy and exciting book week! One of the highlights was when we shared our learning with our families and friends on Thursday. We also really appreciate all the feedback from parents and carers which is on display in our cloakroom. Another highlight was decorating our door to celebrate “George’s Marvellous Medicine” by one of our favourite authors, Roald Dahl.

 

We are very proud of all our hard work. All Miss Marra did was print the letters and she helped us put all our work on the door. We did all the other work ourselves. A huge thank you to our two super stars Esmae and Cooper for drawing George and Grandma. Thank you also to Farah for helping with colouring Grandma. We have our fingers crossed that our hard work pays off when the winning door is announced on Monday. However, as Carson so wisely stated, “it is all about having fun and trying our best” and we definitely did. Well done Primary 2M!

Book Week P3/2C

We have had a very exciting and busy week in P3/2C. We had an author visit on Monday afternoon from ‘Badger the Mystical Mutt’ which was great fun.  We were creating our own bookmarks and masks based on our favourite book characters. We then had our family and friends in to share some reading with us on Thursday which was great. We also watched an Author’s live broadcast based on The Gruffalo in Scots and Gaelic.  So so busy!

 

P2W Book Week

This week we took part in Book Week Scotland 2019. We were set many challenges to try and complete during our literacy time.

P2W chose to recreate the front cover of one of our favourite books – Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We worked so hard creating this that it took us one whole week! We are very proud of all the hard work, effort and teamwork that has went into our amazing door creation.

We have all our fingers and toes crossed in the hope that we win the competition on Monday!

NURSERY – UPCOMING DATES

 

18 November – Book Week Scotland

Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books and reading that takes place across the country.  In Nursery we will be launching a few events to celebrate this.

  • Caught Reading – Please take photo’s of your child(ren) at home reading in different places whether they enjoy reading in bed, the bath, in the car, in the garden.  Staff will also be sharing their photo’s and we can post them on our Nursery BLOG and/or display them in the nursery.  Please email them to Mrs Laing – wllesley.laing@westlothian.org.uk during Book Week Scotland.
  • Big Bedtime Read – We will be relaunching our Big Bedtime Read encouraging our families to borrow our packs of books and read at bedtime.  Please look out for more information during Book Week Scotland. We are looking for packs that are being borrowed just now to be returned to Nursery by the end of this week so we can prepare them for our relaunch.  Many thanks for your support with this.
  • Community Book Search – This is a nationwide campaign promoting literacy by finding or hiding books in your community and  sharing them with your children.  We will be having a used book sale in Nursery during Book Week Scotland to encourage families to get involved and purchase books to help raise funds for the Nursery. The books will include details of how to get involved.  Please look out for this.
  • Used Book Sale – Please support your Nursery by purchasing books to read at home or to hide as part of the Community Book Search.  We will be asking for a small donation which will be used to replenish our existing library.
  • Dress Up – Your children may dress up but this is entirely optional.
