World Book Day

A warm welcome back to Renita Boyle, a fabulous storyteller who we met for the first time during World Book Day last year. The whole school gathered together for a terrific start to the day with Renita. Her enthusiasm is infectious...we had great fun joining in a song with actions - singing it as fast as we could had us in stitches!

Renita has kindly gifted her book 'My Storytime Bible' to our library. She has written another book which will be published soon and hopefully she will be back to share it with us!

Some classes enjoyed Renita's storytelling workshops...

...while others enjoyed storyteller David Allison, who we loved listening to last year on World Book Day. He has travelled throughout Asia, Africa and South America and he tells stories from many cultures including our own. He also uses musical instruments from around the world in his storytelling. He had us captivated.

Anne Errington also shared her wonderful storytelling talent with us. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to her stories and letting our imagination soar.

Another enjoyable World Book Day for us all!

Book(s) of the month January

Primary 1 and 5 wrote book reviews this month, hoping to encourage readers to try their recommendations. P5 are definite fans of David Walliams and can't get enough of his books. His humorous novels won't be staying on the shelves of our library for long! Tiegan is keen to recommend one of them. She is joined here with Renita Boyle, a storyteller who we love and have enjoyed listening to on her visits on World Book Day.

Gangsta Granny by David Walliams

I'm recommending this book because it's funny and has a lot of cliffhangers. Ben, an 11 year old boy, hates visiting his Granny until one afternoon he finds a box of jewels in her biscuit tin. A few months later they both go to steal the Crown Jewels...

A book in Scot's language was greatly enjoyed by some P1 pupils. Look out for the Scot's section in our library the next time you visit!

Katie's Moose by James Robertson

I think you should read it because it's funny and it made me laugh. It is full of animals. It has parts to open and it is fun.
