This week we have been celebrating Book Week Scotland with lots of different activities linked to our Bookbug Bags. We were very excited to get our bags and to see what was inside. We read our books in lots of different places in the school. We went to the staffroom, the school library and even in Mrs McKissack and Mrs McLaughlin’s office. On Thursday, we watched a special reading of The Bongles and the Crafty Crows and we joined in the chat to answer the questions. We were very excited when the presenters at Education Scotland said our names. We made special magnifying glasses just like Penelope Snoop and made sock snake puppets. On Friday, we met up with our Buddies to complete some activities with them.

We have been learning the number bonds for 6 and 7 in maths this week. We were very confident in recalling the facts and trying to use the ten frames to show the different addition sums.

In RE, we have been discussing the Christian value of friendship and linked this with one of the books in our Bookbug Bags called Five Bears. We have also discussed what bullying us and made posters to remind people to be kind to each other.

Some of our personal highlights this week are

Peyton – I liked working with the buddies.

Sophia – I liked getting the books.

Ollie – I liked playing with the blocks.

Bella – I liked being with the buddies.

Miss Stebbing – I loved seeing everyone enjoying playing in the space station role play area and wearing the astronaut costumes.

Well done to Bella who is our Hot Chocolate winner this week and to Maksymilian who is our Reading Champion.
