Your Place, Your Space Reading Challenge

Posted on by

To mark the start of our journey on this year’s First Minister’s Reading Challenge, we would like you to share a photo or picture of you enjoying a book in a place of your choice during the October break.

You can read in familiar or unusual places, at home or away, a secret place or a well-known landmark, indoors or outdoors…anywhere at all!

Photographs can be printed or emailed to us at:

gw07mckinnonlaura2@glow.sch.uk

If you have no access to a camera or device with a camera, or simply prefer to, you can draw a picture of you reading in your place.

Happy reading!

Messy Times in P6-7 by Zoe and Talia

We’ve been learning how to play touch rugby.  We were in 2 teams – reds and blues.  The Blues won.  We slipped in the mud – A LOT! There was a lot of sliding when we were trying to get a touchdown.  We hope (please Miss Jack?) that we can play it again.

We’ve started our preparations for the school’s entry for the Strathaven Bonfire Guy competition.  We are in 3 groups and each group has a different plan for their Guy.  One group is making Darth Vader, one group is making Hilary Clinton as a witch with Donald Trump in a cauldron, and the last group is making Miss Muir!  We’ve started making papier mache faces for them.  We’ve still got to do a lot of work.  Watch this space for pictures next week or come to see our Guy at the Bonfire in Strathaven Park on 5th November.

We’ve started this terms new Dojo Points.  If we get to keep 85% of our points we will get a fun day as a treat for our hard work and good behaviour.  Last term it was SOOO much fun when we met out target and had a pyjama party where we watched a movie with popcorn and juice!
