This morning, we looked at our new Reading Passports. These will help us think about why we choose books and also give our “opinion”. We know that an opinion is what we think of something. (We have given our opinion on school lunches and Mrs Stevenson’s clothes!)

Here we are with some of the books we chose last week on our trips to Waterstones in Livingston.

We are looking forward to reading more books in our group times.

This week in nursery parents’ have had the opportunity to ‘stay and play’ in nursery. The children have enjoyed showing their parents what they like to do in nursery.

If only: a poem by Ava and Marcelina …

If only I could change the past

If only I could bend the truth

If only you were on my side

I could and I would

If I were the leader of this feud

If you put yourself inside my shoes

If I could now take over you

I could and I would

If only we could change your mind

If only we could re-write time

If we could be all powerful

We MUST and we WILL!

Some super costumes and cosy pyjamas in school on Friday for our delayed world book day.

The World Book Day celebrations have continued this week, after snow day delays courtesy of the Beast from the East!  This week we have been busy researching information about our favourite authors for our personal projects and preparing to share what we have learned with the rest of the class.

Today we were excited to come to school with our favourite books.  Some of us dressed up as book characters and authors, and some of us came to school in our pyjamas and onesies – perfect attire for getting cosied up with a good book! Some of our parents even popped in and read with us in school.

Here’s a picture of us in our outfits:
