Read Write Count Parent and Carer Day in P2

P2 invited their parents and carers to come and join in with Read Write Count activities. Each pupil received their Read Write Count bag and shared some literacy and maths ideas with their parents and carers to explore the stores in more depth.

The puppet area was the most popular! Pupils created puppets of their favourite characters from the Read Write Count books and then acted out parts of the stories.

Thank you to everyone who joined in with the fun afternoon.

P1 Author Visit

P1 were very lucky to enjoy a visit from a real-life author this week.

Jim Easton read us his story all about Bea and her little pet B, a little bee who gets lost. 

The children really enjoyed talking about their own pets and sharing their own experiences with Jim.
