World Book Day

Leave a comment

World Book Day was celebrated in style with another successful book swap and lots of class activities.

The highlight of the day was the Potato Book Character competition. The judges were blown away with the number of entries and found it extremely difficult to choose the winners from each stage. Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who took part – all the entries were amazing!

 

We enjoyed sharing our learning at a whole school assembly. The nursery children had fun presenting their Gruffalo artwork, Primary 1 and Primary 2 told us about their favourite books and Primary 3 read “Whit the Clockleddy Heard” in their best Scottish accents! Primary 4 presented their learning about Holy Books and other religious stories and Primary 5 gave a wonderful performance of a song from “Matilda”. Primary 6 shared Dr Suess with us and Primary 7 taught us all about William Shakespeare! Thanks go to the library reps who led the assembly.

Remember to exchange your World Book Day token and “Keep on Reading”.

Scottish Children’s Book Awards 2016

1 Comment

Today we travelled to the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow to attend the Scottish Children’s Book Awards 2016. The authors of the three short-listed books in the Bookbug category of the awards read excerpts from their books whilst the illustrators demonstrated their artistic talents.

Over 30,000 children voted for their favourite book. There was great excitement as the winner was announced ……

“Mouse’s First Night at Moonlight School” by Simon Puttock and Ali Pye.

After the ceremony we were lucky enough to meet the authors who signed copies of their books for us.

A fantastic experience!

This week has been a very busy week for us and we have successfully moved into our new classroom. It’s looking great and the children worked very hard to help with the planning, design and layout. Well done!

We have been learning a little more about Romans this week and are looking forward to our visit from a Roman solider and our feast next week.

Please remember to bring an old pillow case in for your Roman costume!

Have a lovely weekend!

P3/2 have had a busy week!

Leave a comment

We have had a super week in P3/2 this week with lots of exciting learning going on.

We enjoyed our Grandparent Day and would like to thank everyone who was able to join us. It was great fun!

On Thursday, we visited the National Museum of Scotland to learn about the Romans. We looked at lots of interesting artefacts and enjoyed exploring the museum in our groups. The trip was a huge success and the staff, pupils and helpers enjoyed the day!

We have been learning a new skill in maths this week and have been estimating numbers. We even managed to estimate Mrs Cameron’s age!!!

We have been developing our knowledge of alphabetical order and using a dictionary this week and have enjoyed lots of active learning opportunities to practise these skills.

We are currently moving class and will be in our new classroom on Wednesday when we return after the February break. It will be very exciting!

Have a lovely February break!
