What a day!  Great fun was had by all in P3.  We started our day by coming to school in our pyjamas – we could get used to this!

We did a reading doodle activity before putting our detective skills into action and setting off on a Where’s Wally picture hunt!  Back in class we were joined by P4 and we all took part in a live World Book Day football quiz.  Lots of schools across the country were taking part in this and we had to answer a series of questions from famous footballers.

Throughout the day we have done some paired reading, reading crosswords and word searches,  designed book covers and took part in authors live (Scottish Book Trust) We watched and listened to Catherine Rayner who shared her picture book “Arlo: The Lion Who Couldn’t Sleep“, a beautiful story about finding peace and calm.  Catherine also gave us a sneak peek at her sketchbook, and showed us step by step how to draw Arlo the lion. We had our pencils and paper at the ready!

In the afternoon we enjoyed Paired Reading with Primary 6 and we all enjoyed this and asked to do it again soon.  Lots of us in Primary 3 brought in a book from home for the whole school book swap which will take place next week.

We will be bringing home a £1 book token home today which is valid to use until the end of March.

We love World Book Day!
