To celebrate World Book Day, we had a special poetry day in school on Thursday 8th March.  Stephanie from the Library Service came into school, and spent some time with each class.  She read some rhyming stories and poems to the children in P1 and P2, which they all enjoyed very much.  During Task Board Time, Mrs Calderwood helped the children to focus on three poems and stories

  • Incy Wincy Spider - the children made water spouts for the spider and they made spiders with eight legs out of play dough and pipe cleaners
  • Humpty Dumpty - the children had to build a wall that an egg wouldn't fall off
  • The Paper Dolls, by Julia Donaldson - the children made paper doll chains

Some children had been learning poems at home and they recited these to the rest of the class. In the afternoon the P1's and P2's said the poem, The Snowman to the rest of the school.

I'm a freezy weezy snowman

Will you warm me with a cuddle?

Oh no! I think I'm melting,

And now I'm just a puddle!

It was a busy, fun day for all the P1's and P2's.
