ST​RATHBLANE PRIMARY SCHOOL AND NURSERY

Book Week

We celebrated world book week at SPS from 6-10th November. It was a busy week filled with activties to celebrate reading. Throughout the days 4 bells would ring and everyone would stop what they were doing and pick up a book to read.  Each class made a display about a book they have read. Each day children had an opportunity to bring in a book that they no longer wanted and swap it for a new book in the book swap. The Primary 7s invited everyone to take part in a favourite character drawing competition. The winners recieved points for their house. The P7s also organised and hosted a book quiz. All children went along and took part in small groups. Two representatives were chosen from each class to be part of the house team. They wrote their answers down and this was checked at the end of the quiz. Well done to the House Captains on a very successful event and to Netherton who were the book quiz winners. On Monday P7 had a visit from an authur called Craig Andrew Mooney. On Tuesday the P1-P6s enjoyed an inspiring and very funny visit from author Stuart Reid. He had all the children rolling about laughing and keen to read more in his books. On Friday children had the opportunity to take part in workshops. All children from Nursery through P7 took part in moving round to various classes. In each class there was a different activity involving reading. Primary 1 have been on a mission to read 50 books to save Storyland. They have nearly reached their target and will have a party to celebrate. Primary 2 went on a Jolly Postman trail around the school completing various challenges and made a display about it. Primary 7 have spent a lot of time writing their own books and shared them with their buddies when they finished this week. Here are a few photos from the week from some of the classes.
