Snow day activities. 

P2G assembly has been cancelled.  We will get a new date for it when we are all back in school.  Click on the link to load the file to get some snow day activities.  Make sure you enjoy your time in the snow as well.. Looking forward to hearing what everyone got up to next week.  Bring in some photos to show!

Lots of suggested activities have already been posted on the blog for you to choose from. With our assembly being not far away at all, please continue to go over lines and song words in preparation for this. Some detailed drawings of fruit and veg would also be fantastic, the bigger the better for display purposes!

Our 2 main songs to learn which have already been introduced can be found at the following links:

Thank you for all of your hard work P5! Keep up the good work!

Well, this is certainly not how we were expecting to spend World Book Day!  I feel like I’ve been transported to Narnia!

Earlier this week our class was lucky enough to partake in both a Book Swap (organised by P3M) and a trip to the local library in Broxburn. Hopefully this has equipped you all with plenty of literature to read!

We’re not in school today, but that doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate World Book Day!  Here is a list of activities that you could try out to join in the fun:

• Get cosied up with a book
• Create a book character from snow
• Re-create the setting or an event from a book (you could use snow, lego… your imagination is the limit!)
• Re-tell your favourite book as a comic strip (you could use this Comic Strip Book Task or create your own)
• Design a front cover and blurb for your favourite book
• Watch a film adaptation of a book you have read and compare and contrast it to the book
• Prepare for the book character ‘Hot Seat’ challenge (see homework Task 1 for more details)

If you can take pictures of your snow characters or book scenes, I would love to see them, and I’m sure your classmates would too.  You could bring them in to school or upload them to your Student Story on Class Dojo.

Enjoy the snow and please stay safe and warm,

Mrs Hare 🙂

Morning Everybody we hope that you are staying safe and enjoying the snow. Although we are not able to be in school today there are still lots of great ways that you can celebrate World Book Day. Below are a list of activities that you might like to try. It would be great to see some pictures of you taking part in these; post them on our school twitter page or bring them into school with you when you return. Remember to tag ‘P4’ in your twitter post.

We hope to see you soon but keep safe in the snow and have lots of fun until we do.

Miss Mackay and Mr Thompson.

Let’s make the most of World Book Day being a snow day!

What are you going to read today? Who are you going to read with? Where are you going to read?

I would love to see what books you have been reading – please come and see me when we get back to school, and bring your books with you. I want to hear all about them.

What did you like about the book? Who was your favourite character? Was there someone in the book you didn’t like, and if so, why did you not like that person? Would you change the ending of the book?

Could you set up a library or a book shop at home and have some customers? Some of us did that in school last week, so think about how to describe books, and ask questions about them.

Can you redesign the front cover? For example, I have been reading a book about Mindfulness, and I think my new book cover for that would show Poppy lying in front of the fire as she is looking very calm and relaxed at the moment!

Here is the link to the World Book Day website which might give you some more ideas.

Enjoy your book activities, and I am looking forward to hearing about them when we get back to school.
