We had a great day on Friday celebrating World Book Day! Everyone came dressed up for the day.....from James Bond to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
It was also International School Meals Day and so to mark this canteens across the authority had an American themed lunch! This proved very popular and the canteen was almost as busy as Christmas lunch!
Pupils had the chance to dress up as a caharacter from a book or film, as an American or in Red, White and Bllue!
Among the activities for World Book Day were:
- Dress up Day
- P6 and P7 pupils did some paired reading with the pupils in the nursery and Pr 1/2. They really enjoyed this and the older pupils were great at reading to the younger ones who really enjoyed it. Pr 6 pupils read to the nursery pupils as they will become their 'Buddies' when they start in Primary 1 in August!
- Design a bookmark comeptition.
- Book Swap - Pupils took in books and swapped them for books taken in by the other pupils! A nice cheap way to get some new readfing materials!
- Design a book cover or book jacket for the 'new' book 'Strichen School Takes Over New York!'
And in the afternoon thew whole school met in the hall for our 'BIG READ'! Everyone, including staff, took a book along and we all spent some time together reading our books! It was a nice relaxing half hour!
Thanks to the members of the Pupil Council who helped organise the events on the day!
The Pupil COuncil will be busy again this week preparing for 'Comic Relief Day' on Friday!!
