World Book Day P4/3

What a day! We all loved World Book Day, especially coming to school wearing our pyjamas and some of us dressed up as our favourite book character.

Darcy – I liked the Authors Live.

Freya – After Authors Live we did our own comic strip characters!  Mine’s is called Cherry Girl and her super power is that she can become invisible.

Grace – I liked the Scavenger hunt and we had to find clues and write the name of the book and the letter beside it.

Amber – We all got a book token home with us!

Oonagh – I love reading and this morning I was reading a “Horrible History” book from our class library.  I dressed up as Jasmine from Aladdin.

Jack – I liked doing the wordsearch this morning.  I found most of the words really quickly!

Lilly – I enjoyed reading in the library.  It was nice and quiet.

Jude – The Authors Live was fun and we got to be illustrators!  My character is called “Party Time” and his super power is that he can shoot explosive confetti out of his arms.

Macie – I liked doing paired reading with my partner.  We took turns to read.

Zac – I liked doing the Scavenger Hunt and I found the clues.

Joseph – Reading is good for you because it gives you knowledge and you can find out interesting things.

Kendall – I came to school dressed as Harry Potter.

Abner – We wrote book reviews about our favourite book.

Siena – My favourite book is called “The Lion Inside” by Rachel Bright.  It’s about a lion and a mouse.  Everyone loves the lion and the lion is afraid of the mouse.  At the end they become best friends because they tell each other what they are scared of.

The Power Hour Returns: 60 Minutes to ... | CAW News  ENERGY  HOUR  AT  ST  MARY’S!

We are all being Eco Warriors! On Friday we had our Energy Hour where the whole school switched energy off in order to play our part in being eco friendly. The Eco Committee asked that we all refrain from using laptops, iPads, lights in the classroom and staff laptops for this hour. During this time we designed a logo for the Uniform Swap Shop competition which the Eco Committee launched this week.

Primary 4/3 celebrating Robert Burns

Robert Burns (1759–1796)

How Burns Night Boosts Scottish Tourism | Pillow Partners

On Friday, P4/3 celebrated Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. He was a famous poet and songwriter and known for writing in Scots. He wrote about nature, love, and animals, with famous works like “Auld Lang Syne”. His birthday is celebrated annually on 25th January (Burns Night) with suppers featuring haggis, neeps and tatties and his poetry. He was born in Alloway, Ayrshire, to a farming family and he often wrote about the lives of ordinary people. His work remains globally recognised!

Children enjoyed learning some facts about the life of Robert Burns, listening to highland music and had a wee taste of some Scottish treats including shortbread, tablet, oatcakes with cheese and (sugar free!) Irn-Bru.
