P5 Continuing to Develop Their Reading Culture

Primary 5’s celebrated World Book Day and then continued to develop their reading culture in class by creating their very own ‘Starbooks’ café.

Most of us brought our favourite books in from home to read and some of us borrowed a book from the Starbook’s menu. We enjoyed a sweet treat and a nice drink as we read our books. Miss Roscilli put on café background noises, which made us feel like we were in a real reading café.

P6 have enjoyed learning about the Romans. This week we explored the Roman army uniform, we were surprised at how heavy and uncomfortable it was to wear! We each chose an item of clothing to investigate further, using our research skills to help us.
