We had so much fun in class today talking about and describing our favourite book characters. Thank you for making so much effort to dress up and to bring in your favourite books to read together. I am so proud of the Primary 3 girls and boys who had the confidence to read their books to the rest of their class- what a marvellous achievement. I wonder if we will have any budding authors or illustrators of the future in our class? All things are possible with hard work and determination.
Have a look at our fantastic World Book Day door displays ๐
Today we all brought in our favourite books from home. Mrs Preston gave us 10 minutes to look through our books and share them with our friends. We loved swapping and reading each other’s books for a short time too. Spending time reading and looking at books is so important and such a fun thing to do. ๐
Today was a really fun day as we all came dressed as our favourite book character or wearing our pyjamas. I wonder can you guess who is dressed up as what character? ๐ค
What a fantastic effort that was made by our children, staff and parents today for World Book Day. The children were allowed to wear pyjamas or a book character costume and the effort put in was amazing.
Well done to each of you. ๐
Our class have been taking part in mind explorers each week. The children have been learning some breathing techniques using a breathing ball, when the ball pens we take a deep breath in and then closing the ball we breathe out. Using a mirror the children look at their reflection, give themselves a big smile and express something they are thankful for. Lots of the children are thankful for their family members, pets and friends in school. It has been a lovely time for the children to be still and to have a brain break from their busy schedule in school each week. Why not ask your child about the breathing ball, I’m sure they will have lots to tell you!
Wow, look how amazing our book day costumes are! Some of us dressed up as our favourite book characters and some children wore their pyjamas to read a ‘bedtime story’. Each child brought their favourite story which you can see in their photo. We had some really creative costumes using items from home, thank you so much for all of the extra-special efforts put into preparing for these costumes today!
Today was an exciting day in Nursery. Amelda from Debutots came and did some storytelling with us. We helped and joined in to tell a mashup Fairytale story. Why don’t you ask the boys and girls to tell you who was in our story? We did lots of actions and sounds to represent different parts of the story. It was lots of fun and we finished off by catching lots of bubbles.
What a fun morning! ๐
Today we had our first session of Families Connect with some of our year 1 parents. This week’s theme was play and we talked about the importance of play and the benefits that it has for our children. We discussed how it is important to try and make time to play with our children even if it is only a 10min slot. Play is the most crucial part of a young child’s early development. Well done to all of our families who took part today and we look forward to meeting again next week to talk about our feelings.
