World Book Day: Dress As A Character
Tom Gates Book Masterclass
For our book masterclass pupils from P4-7joined together to look at Liz Pichon’s book “Tom Gates – Genius Ideas (Mostly)”.
We read an extract of the book together and discussed the style in which Liz writes her books. She uses lots of pictures (or doodles as Tom calls them) and changes her writing to show what the word means. These types of words are called calligrams.
We then set to work creating calligrams our own words. We were very quiet and concentrating extremely hard when we were completing this!
At the end we shared our calligrams with each other and gave each other feedback on what we had created. Have a look!
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.
