On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day and we went to the Book Sale.  In class we made bunting, designed a new front cover for a book, we had a treasure hunt to unlock the cupboard to get our book tokens and we had to Drop Everything and Read each time the special bell went off.  The First Minister’s Reading Challenge Group (P2-4) hid special reading tickets inside the books in all the classrooms and the nursery.  Leo in P2A was the first person to find a ticket. We also got lovely new books from the PFA for each class. We brought our character spoons in to show everyone.  Miss Stebbing was very impressed with all the creative ideas.  Our writing this week was a partner task and we couldn’t see what the other person had written.  This made it very challenging but we had some funny stories at the end.  We now have our FMRC passports to fill in with all the books we read and when we get to 5 books then we earn a prize.  We also get different prizes when we read more books.  Today we had Mass with Fr Simon.  Mrs Timmins complimented us on our respectful behaviour.

Our personal learning highlights from this week are:

Daisy – I liked when we made the spoon and mine was Goldilocks.

Aoife – I liked hiding the special reading tickets inside the books.

Natalia – I liked making the new front cover for the books.

Patrick – I liked giving the new books from the PFA to all the classes.

Olivier – I liked doing the treasure hunt to unlock the special cupboard.

Josh – I liked when the bell was ringing to read our books.  (We think Mrs Egan liked doing this too especially at the end of the day!)

Sam – I liked giving out the books to all the class.  I helped to tie the ribbon on to the books.
