Maths Through Stories
This morning, we listened to a story called No Time To Clip. We developed our understanding of time, using the calendar to explore dates, days and months of the year.

A library signpost mural that points to different fictional destinations.
A painted bookcase where pupils have painted the spines with their book recommendations, both modern and classic.
A book tree with book covers growing out of the branches.
More book shelf recommendations.
Our Reading Schools group have been working hard, with the art department, to paint our recommendations on our library mural tree and book shelf! Can you spot a favourite? There's lots of room for more suggestions. What do you think we should add? #ScottishBookTrust #ReadingSchools
Yellow background with the World book day logo in the top left corner. It's a bright purple book cover with eyes and the words "World Book Day" stacked beside it to the right. Underneath that is a blue and red banner with yellow text which reads "visiting Orkney", and the author photo for L.D. Lapinski below that. To the left from top to bottom are the covers of all LDs books and then a text box which reads "We are delighted to announce that L.D. Lapinski, bestselling author for children and young people will be visiting four Orkney schools to celebrate World Book Day (week) with us!"
I've not posted this personally till now but with 5 weeks to go I'm VERY excited to be welcoming @ldlapinski.bsky.social to #Orkney for #WorldBookDay to visit my school as well as a few others that week 🤩 What an opportunity for our pupils!
