Storytime

So many wonderful stories to choose from! These children are enjoying one of them being read by Mrs Reid.

Book(s) of the Month - November/December

This time Primary 2 & 6 had the opportunity to make book recommendations. Owen in P2 chose a fiction book while Harris in P6 wants to encourage us to try a book about Egyptians in the non-fiction section. If you are learning about this period in history in class this might be of particular interest to you!

Horrible Histories Awesome Egyptians by Terry Deary

I'm recommending this book because it gives you all the facts however the author presents it in an interesting and funny way. It's child friendly. Also the illustrations are outstanding!

Harris P6

The Hungry Frog by Martha White

I think you should read it because it is funny. The frog tries to eat everyone and he eats a firefly and now his tummy glows.

Owen P2

Book(s) of the Month - October

A family affair! Our first recommendations come from sisters Arielle and Katia.

Girls, Goddesses and Giants by Lari Don

I found it really enjoyable. It has lots of different myths and legends from all over the world. It's really nice to read stories from every corner of the earth. All the stories are also about girls and how they get out of trouble, so it's nice to have the girls save the day instead of boys!

Arielle P7

The Twits by Roald Dahl

I think you should read it because it's a very funny and crazy story and you will never imagine what happens in it. It is quite disgusting at parts but so hilarious!

Katia P3

Work in Progress

Andy Kerr, the librarian for Trinity High has kindly helped us set-up a system on the computer to categorise our books. This will allow us to lend books from our library and enjoy reading them at home. Our library is closed for the time being and we are helping Mrs Church with this big job. We'll keep you posted when our library re-opens.

Book of the Month

Each month we are asking pupils from 2 bases to nominate a book they would like to recommend. We will leave a folder with forms and a box for completed forms in both bases.

We will choose one nomination from each base and this will be featured here and in our library each month.

Why not try reading a book from a less well known author and if you enjoy it, recommend it when it's your turn. Here's when the box will be visiting your base.

October.     P 7 & P3

November.  P6 & P2

January.      P5 & P1

February.     P4 & P3

March.        P7 & P2

May.            P6 & P1

June.          P5 & P4

Hopefully this will encourage others to try something new or different too!

Remember...
