Last week, beginning 27 November, was book week. We had different activities every day, as well as nativity rehearsals and doing some maths and PE! Here are some pictures of what we did:

On Monday the whole school had DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read). We also had a visitor come and read to the class. He read a few chapters from Flat Stanley, by Jeff Brown.

On Tuesday everyone got a book bag from Read Write Count that included some books, games, and activities. It was lovely to see some of the parents and carers there that afternoon!

On Wednesday, Primary 6/5 came along to read with us. They heard their P2 buddy read something out loud to them, and then they read a book out loud to their P2 buddy. Everyone did such a lovely job!

On Thursday, another visitor came along to read some lovely Hairy Maclary books, by Lynley Dodd. We also had our Big Bedtime Read, where the children got to dress in their pajamas or onesie and bring a teddy and blanket for some comfy stories. We also used our blankets to make dens under the tables! The last thing we did on Thursday was enjoy a Book Tasting session, in which the children got a cup of juice and biscuit while they looked through a variety of books on display.

On Friday, we read the fairy tale The Gingerbread Man and then played a tig game in which the wolf tried to catch all our “gingerbread men”, who had to run as fast as they could to get away!

I’m sure the children went home tired on Friday after all the things we got up to last week! This week has been lovely so far. We’ll be sure to update you again on Friday about all the lovely things we are doing.
