P3’s World Book Day

Primary 3 had a fantastic day yesterday celebrating World Book Day. We kicked off our day with a ‘Big Booky Breakfast’ where we enjoyed coming to school in our pyjamas, eating toast and sharing our favourite books. We then took part in Mrs Smart’s whole school book quiz in our houses, well done Young for coming first place!

We continued our day with various other activities to celebrate reading including paired reading with primary 4, designing new front covers for our favourite books, and making bookmarks.

We rounded off World Book day by sharing our learning in a whole school assembly this morning. It was great to see how other classes celebrated this exciting day.

Book Week in P3

Primary 3 have had an exciting and engaging week during Scottish Book Week. We are all enjoying reading Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and have used this as inspiration for our writing. The children wrote letters to Mr Wonka persuading him to make their own sweet or chocolate invention in his factory. The children carefully considered the structure of their letters along with different examples of persuasive language they could use. Their hard work has definitely payed off and I don’t think Mr Wonka could refuse!

We also worked together to design and create a Charlie and The Chocolate Factory themed door display and were very pleased with the end result!

Our book week came to a great end as we all received our Read Write Count bags. One of the books in the bag was an atlas, therefore the children enjoyed a tasting session of different types of bread from around the world.

Here are what some of the children thought about our book week;

Aiden – “I liked playing the guess the book game best. Sometimes I didn’t even need all three clues.”

Rebecca – “My favourite bread was the French brioche bread, it tasted sweet.”

Lexi – “I liked writing an acrostic poem about reading and getting to share it with everyone at assembly.”

Iona – “I liked getting to do a book personality quiz with my Dad at Biscuits and Blethers.”

Primary 4’s week

This week Primary 4 have been working hard on their report writing. We have written newspaper reports about Little Red Riding Hood. They worked hard on them. We really enjoyed Rookie Rock Stars and had great fun joining in with the songs and activities. We even had a fabulous rapper who performed infront of the whole school.Well done to Alan!  We dressed up in dots  on Friday for Children in Need. We made dotty biscuits at Golden Time which the pupils enjoyed and we will carry on with this next week as well for those who didn’t manage it.

Next Wednesday we are heading to Waterstones at the Centre to choose a book each for our library! We can’t wait to replace some of our older books. Next week will be filled with reading and book related activities so look out for next week’s blog it will be full!

Remember to bring a book for book swap on Wednesday as well as your favourite book to share with the class.

Primary 4 Library Corner

Primary 4 are very proud to have been chosen as winners for the middle school in our competition. We are looking forward to heading to Watersons to get books for our library. We worked together to come up with a theme and then everyone took part in making and designing something for the corner. We have favourite book covers, authors names, and sorted the books into different types, fiction and non fiction. We love our corner and enjoy going in and reading our books at DEAR time.
