Over the last few weeks, the children in Primary 2 have enjoyed reading some of  Mairi Hedderwick’s Katie Morag stories.

Katie  Morag is the main character in each book, so we looked really closely at the text, and at the pictures in the books to learn as much as we could about her. We tried to draw a likeness of her, and we were really pleased with the results.

Katie Morag lives on the Isle of Struay, and we were keen to look closely at a map of the island. We explored the island and found some of the special places mentioned in the stories. We also programmed the Bee-bot to follow different routes around the island.

Katie Morag and her family live above the shop and Post Office, and Katie Morag sometimes helps to deliver the mail. We thought that we could set up a Post Office in our classroom and provide a service to all the classes in the infant area by sorting and delivering the Christmas post each day.

We were kept very busy every day. Sometimes we even needed to provide an afternoon delivery as well as a morning one! Final deliveries were made today. A huge Thank You to everyone who used our service and made our learning such fun.
