Primary 4 were looking amazing in their Book Day costumes! We all hd great fun showing off our costumes this morning.
David Goutcher Author Visit!
As part of our World Book Week celebrations, David Goutcher the author of the Spy Quest books shared his journey of becoming an author with P4-7. He shared his inspiring story of how ‘Positive understanding supports confident personal success’ and how it is important to persevere in order to achieve your dreams.
He amazed us by demonstrating how his Sky Quest books use augmented reality through an app to transform the reading experience.
Those children who wanted to purchase a book got a signed copy. We have bought some of these books for our P4-7 class libraries and we have a few signed copies at the office for those of you who would still like to purchase one, on a first come, first served basis (costing £6.99).
A big thank you to David for coming along to share his story with us, and also to Glowworm Books. Thank you also to Brodie’s mum for helping to organise this event.

Message for Primary 7 Pupils
This is a good opportunity for P7 pupils to continue to use their Yammer Group to share learning and what you have been doing in the snow.
Remember that Yammer is our professional identity and for sharing learning. Perhaps you could ask questions related to World Book Day or your IDL context of China. You could also share some photos of your snow day activities.
You can access the group by clicking here or logging into Glow, clicking on Yammer and then WL PUSCPS P7.
I look forward to seeing your posts.
Sumdog Snow Day Reading Competition for World Book Day
Join us for a whole school Sumdog Snow Day Reading Competition for World Book Day by selecting Reading Snow Day when you log into Sumdog. Your login and password should be in your homework diary.
To be able to take part in the Reading Snow Day competition, if children have not used Sumdog recently they might need to complete the assessment at the top of the login screen first. Once it’s done that then it should be okay to enter the contest.
Good luck!

Don’t worry everyone – we will reschedule a date for you to come to school dressed as your character and let you know as soon as possible. The snow day will perhaps give you more time to think about your costume! We can’t wait to see them.
