My apologies again!

It seems like there was  a problem with the Kahoot bear quiz link yesterday.

Here is a new link.

Do give it a try and see if you can get your name on the leaderboard!

You might have heard me read this story in school before but it is one of my favourite robot books. I am glad that it’s not about a real robot, mind you!

I hope that you enjoy this story too.

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Story Time from Home page although it seems like yesterday some of you were left rather disappointed when the links didn’t work.

I am very sorry about this.  I do check them and they both worked fine for me and they did work for some other people it seems. I am able to tell how many people watch each video and I just thought maybe you were all having the day off yesterday!

Here is the link for today’s story which is quite a short one and finger’s crossed will work.  Grown ups – please let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll see what, if anything, I can do.

Hello boys and girls

Today’s Story Time From Home  is all about a polar bear.

I saw this super website link on Mrs Mills blog page and thought I would share it with you because it has lots of information and pictures  of real bears that you might like to have a look at if you’ve time.

I’ve also made another video today which has nothing to do with bears but is an activity about rainbows which is another theme in today’s story.  The idea for this came from children in my class so why not watch it to find out more…

and have a go!  It’s great fun!

Hello everyone!

Here is the link to the second of this week’s “bear” stories.

There’s also a little update on my hyacinth bulbs from Mrs Bennie and Mrs Smith!

Miss McDermott

Hello everyone and welcome to the Story Time from Home page.

I hope that you had a nice weekend and are looking forward to a week of new stories.  This week’s theme is “bears” and all of this week’s books are from my house collection rather than from those that I keep in school, so chances are you won’t have heard me reading any of these stories before.

Here is the link to Monday’s story which is called “Beware of the Bears” and has a very surprising ending indeed!

Here is the link to the last of this week’s stories.

It’s all about hairwashing today (no,  not handwashing) which is a rather strange theme for a book, don’t you think?

I do hope that you enjoy it!

Enjoy your weekend!

Miss McDermott

Hello everyone!

Here’s the link to Thursday’s Story Time from Home. It’s all about two squabbling squirrels.  If you’re not sure what the word squabbling means – you’d better listen and watch to find out!

Hello everyone

Welcome back after the holiday weekend.  I hope you are all well and managed to do something nice with your families.

Here is the link to the first of this week’s stories.  There is no theme this week – they are all different but I hope you enjoy them just the same.

Best wishes

Hello boys and girls

Here is the link for our 20th Story Time from Home  with a slight difference today!

I do hope that you enjoy it.

Stay safe over the holiday weekend and I’ll be back with another story on Wednesday.

Miss McDermott

Hello boys and girls

Here is the link to Thursday’s story which today includes all of the Oxford Reading Tree f.amily.

Well done to everyone who has had a go at making the puppets that I mentioned on Monday’s video.  The weather isn’t looking quite so nice today ( it is actually raining in Bathgate this morning) so maybe you could have some time away from the tablets and ipads and try some puppet making ?

One of the children made puppets of her family rather than BIff and Chip which i thought was a great idea. You can see the photograph below.

Have fun whatever you do!

Hello boys and girls!

And here is the link to a short video version of the PIed Piper of Hamelin that the story is based on which I talk about in the video.

I’m not sure that this is my favourite Biff, Chip and Kipper story – I wonder what you think?
