P1 Weekly Update

Good afternoon,
The highlight this week was celebrating World Book Day. 
On Thursday we participated in a live author event via TEAMS. Emily Dodd shared her book, 'Crime Squirrel Investigators', with us, as we looked for clues in her illustrations to solve the mystery of the eaten nuts. After the reading, she also taught us some interesting facts about squirrels. Did you know that as well as being able to swim, squirrels can communicate with each other by moving their ears about?
On Thursday we also enjoyed reading `Luna Loves World Book Day', which is one of this year's books which can be exchanged for the World Book Day tokens given out on Thursday. The story motivated us to create our very own potato characters , just like Luna.
On Friday we took part in a book scavenger hunt. With a partner we searched all around the garden and playground looking for the books with the items from our checklist.
We also listened to the story,` Maggie`s Magical Island 'in which an x marks the spot on a map. We each wrote our predictions for what x was marking. Nobody guessed that it was the aurora borealis. What a treat!
Have a lovely weekend and please remember to return the reading pack on Monday, thank you.
Mrs.Davie and P1.
