Our phonics focus this week has been ‘ew’ and ‘ire’. So far the children have discovered eight different spellings for the ‘ew’ sound! In numeracy P2 have been partitioning a 2 digit number into tens and ones. To help celebrate Scottish Book Week the children have enjoyed sharing their favourite books. On Thursday we tuned into #AuthorsLive to hear The Gruffalo being read aloud in Scots, we thought it was braw! If you want to watch it again or hear any of the other stories you can access them at: https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/learning-and-resources/authors-live. P2 were delighted to receive their Read Write Count book bags today. Happy reading everyone!
My favourite book is…
Charley – ‘The King Cat’ is my favourite book because cats are my favourite animals!
Austin – ‘Steve, Terror of the Sea’ is a good book because every page is funny!
Sushanth – I like the shark story because every page is funny and the giant shark is so huge.
Poppy – ‘Wonky Donkey’ is my favourite story because it is very funny and silly. It’s a rhyming book the words rhyme.
Nicholas – I like ‘Hare and Tortoise’. The rabbit runs then falls asleep and the turtle wins the race.
Lois – ‘The King Cat’ from our Read Write Count bag is good. It really funny because the cat decides its too peaceful when the dog goes away.
Leighton – My favourite book is ‘Spook and Skull.’ They go into a house and there is a person that sees the ghost and skeleton he jumps up and bangs himself on the wall.
Ziva – My favourite book is ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ It is funny when he eats all day, it feels like I want to eat as well!
James – I like ‘The King Cat’. The dog came and the cat is upset because that’s his house and he thinks he is the king of the house. The dog and cat become friends at the end of the story.
Euan – I like ‘Station Mouse’ because the mouse got up to mischief and went around the station.
Subhan – I like the ‘Ninjabread Man.’ When he comes out the oven he jumps out and runs out the door. I read it all the time.
Lewis – I like ‘The Snail and the Whale’. The snail and the whale are friends and they swim around the world. The other snails get to swim on his back and they take turns!
Rory – ‘Steve, Terror of the Seas’ is my favourite book. It’s really funny because everyone runs away from the small fish but we find out it’s really the shark everyone is scared of!
Emma – I like ‘Steve, Terror of the Seas.’ It’s funny it says he is scary but the truth is it’s a shark everyone is scared of.
Coben –’Steve, Terror of the Seas’ is good. It’s because there are scary parts and there is also a scary fish!
Isaac – ‘Steve, Terror of the Seas’ is funny. Steve is a funny fish because he thinks he is the scariest fish but it’s really George the shark that everyone is scared of. They go everywhere with each other!
