Spellchasers with Lari Don

Good afternoon

Well, what an exciting day.  Lari Don visited our school today to launch the second book in her Spellchasers series on World Book Day.  Primary 5 were the lucky audience and we were delighted to welcome our friends from P5 at Stockbridge Primary School.


Lari was as engaging as ever and gave us so many ideas to develop our own story writing.  After her presentation, Floris Books (Lari's publishers) had lots of exciting activities for us to follow including a small discussion group with Lari.


At the end of the session, there was a presentation for the winner and runners-up in The Spellchasers drawing competition.  Here is the lucky winner:-

So, a great big thank you to Lari for visiting our school and giving us all such fun.  We hope you come again soon.

Your friends at Flora Stevenson

Book Club

Hello

This week in school we are celebrating all things bookish.  Lots of exciting events taking place in classrooms.

In Book Club today, we wanted to share the things we have recently read - books, magazines, newspapers - and recommend these to other members.  Charlotte kicked off with First News which she loves for its interesting articles and information about world events.

Joseph was most enthusiastic about The Clockwork Sparrow and thought Sophie was a brilliant character.  He is currently reading the second book in the series and was delighted to see we had just purchased the third.  Joseph is a very happy boy with lots of reading to do!

Caitlin recommended The chancery Lane Conspiracy which she thought had a well-developed plot and also introduced us to "The Week Junior".  Perhaps another magazine for us to subscribe to.

Have a look at the pictures below and discover something new to read as recommended by our lovely book clubbers.

See you tomorrow with news of Lari Don's visit.
