It has been an absolute privilege for me to be part of this. We started with a single book back in November, and the children decided where to go from there. They were fantastic!
P4-5 book club held our very own Author's Live event today to showcase the books that we have been working on. Very proud of this amazing group of children. #harrysmuirreads @scottishbktrust
@HarrysmuirPS@RossAuthor They were great questions. Loved @RossAuthor 's response to J's generating ideas question: Take how you normally see the world and play around with it. Ask "what if?..."
Love seeing the enjoyment our book-clubbers are getting out of both reading and creating a variety of texts. #harrysmuirreads @scottishbktrust @FairleyKim@wl_literacy
P4-5 book club have started using their plans to write their own books. Some even have their sights set on doing a series. We definitely have some future authors at Harrysmuir PS.

After discussing the ending of Michael Morpurgo's 'The Snowman', P4-5 book club took on a tasty STEM challenge. Our edible snowmen looked great, but it wasn't long before they "melted". @HarrysmuirPS#harrysmuirreads
Proud moment for this P4 book-clubber who conquered his fear of reading aloud in public today. He was the first to volunteer to read, and he was absolutely fantastic. Thumbs up for raising confident individuals through reading. #harrysmuirreads@HarrysmuirPS@FairleyKim
P4-5 lunchtime bookclub had a lively discussion about what we would do if we saw an actual Snowman come to life. We are very much enjoying Michael Morpurgo's version of the classic story. Some of us opted to make our own spiral snowmen today. #harrysmuirreads
As part of our Burns' celebrations, P4B enjoyed exploring the Scots language today. After reading #neepsandtatties, we successfully managed to match up all the Scots words with their English equivalent. We ken them all! @NBMScotland@HarrysmuirPS#harrysmuirreads

The P4 classes enjoyed a visit from @LevenseatWM this week. We learned a lot about the important work they do with our household waste. We also learned that we all throw away too much! #responsiblecitizens@HarrysmuirPS
