Primary 6 are doing an author study on Michael Morpurgo this term. For book week we enjoyed reading a variety of short stories by Michael Morpurgo, including ‘Rainbow Bear’, ‘My Father is a Polar Bear’ and ‘The Dancing Bear’. We discussed the language used to describe the bear in each of these stories, including his use of alliteration. Inspired by this, we wrote our own animal descriptions using alliteration and wow words.
Primary 6 have also started the First Minister’s Reading Challenge. During Book Week, we set ourselves reading targets as part of the challenge. We will be updating our reading passports regularly with reviews on each book we read.
On Friday, we dressed up as a character from one of our favourite stories. It was great fun seeing everyone (including Miss Cave) in their costumes!
