P2A had a fantastic time celebrating Book Week Scotland last week. Along with P3 and P4 we focused on the book Look Up! by Nathan Bryon. This book came from the P3 Read, Write, Count bag. We did a character study of Rocket, the main character, and wrote our own adventure stories about her. In lots of our stories Rocket travelled to space and explored. We also did a draw-along session with the illustrator of the book, Dapo Adeola. We were extremely excited when both Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola liked and commented on photographs of our work on the school Twitter page!
P2A also spent time reading the books in their own Read, Write, Count bags. This week we have been focusing on Rocketmole by Matt Carr. The children brought their book bags home on Monday and have been reading the story at home and imagining what would happen if Rocketmole came to Figgate Park on his world tour. Today we took our writing lesson to Figgate Park working with a partner to plan an adventure for him. In our stories he has had a great time chatting to swans and squirrels, building a boat to use on the water and climbing trees. Some writers introduced sharks and whales to the pond – very exciting! We love our trips to Figgate Park, the children are always so engaged in their outdoor learning.
