Book Week November 2016

BOOK CHALLENGE We had a fantastic week celebrating our love of books last week. It was an exciting week. Mrs Coyle issued us the First Minister's Reading Challenge and we are going to set ourselves challenges to encourage us to read more. We will be set challenges by our teachers and we are allowed to set our friends and even the staff some dares. VISIT TO WATERSTONES On the Tuesday we visited the book store Waterstones at Braehead. This was a great opportunity to explore the range of books in the store and look at the range of books from some of our favourite authors. We took time to choose books that appealed to us and made some fantastic purchases. The class were excited to see another title from the author RJ Paclacio. We are currently loving our class novel Wonder by this author.

BOOK CHARACTERS Some of us chose to dress up as a character from a book. Here are some of our costumes.

VISIT TO LIBRARY On Friday we walked to our local library to explore the facilities we have right on our door step. We had a chance to choose books and read quietly. We enjoyed a short story from a member of the library staff. All P7 pupils were issued today with a membership form to be completed and returned to the library if pupils wish to join. This is a fantastic local resource which will help us with our book challenges as well as special projects we will have next year. We really hope more people begin to make use of their local library.
