P1P’s Brilliant Book Bug Bags

P1P have had a very exciting week for Scottish Book Week!

At the start of the week we spent time reading and exploring the 3 picture books that were shortlisted for The Bookbug Picture Book Prize, we also watched some fantastic videos of the authors reading their stories. After we watched the author videos we voted for our favourite book using gems, ‘Gorilla Loves Vanilla’ was the winner of the vote!

On Thursday we were very excited because our P7 Buddies came down to our class to deliver very special P1 Bookbug Bag. These bags were filled with fantastic activities and stories for us to use at home. Later in the afternoon our parents came in and we shared different activities we can use with our Bookbug bags!

We had a fantastic time and thank you to everyone who was able to come in and visit!

Book Week – Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland has taken over P7/6! During book week we have been comparing and contrasting the original Alice In Wonderland with the modern adaptions and of course the original novel by Louis Carroll. We have discovered that books can let your imagination run free and inspire you to improve your own writing.  The novel has been quite challenging due to the language and craziness in it, at times it can be hard to follow and very hard to visualise what Wonderland might look like. To help us do this we have been referring back to the original Disney version of 1951.

We have used the films, the novel and of course our own ‘Alice the Musical’to inspire us to create a new front  cover or a scene in Alice in Wonderland.
