It was World Book day on the 4th of March. Here at St Andrews we were lucky to have several very interesting events. To start our day Tom Muir came to tell traditional Orcadian stories to the whole school. He fascinated the whole school with tales of Selkies, Fin People and the terrifying Stoorworm. We'll be using some of these stories as inspiration for an art project we will start with the help of Miss Grant on Friday.
The second exciting event was an online webcast with Michael Rosen from BBC Scotland and the Scottish Book Trust. He was hilarious, and imitations around the school were frequent for the rest of the day. It was really good being able to link down to Glasgow through Glow and on the internet. We're looking forward to another webcast in May by Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo.

World Book Day
ReplyDeleteOn World Book Day the event I enjoyed most was when we got connected with Michael Rosen over the computer. I thought he was interesting and very funny. I liked how he made his ordinary childhood more exciting by adding in sound effects and actions.

I really enjoyed listening to the stories Tom told us. My favourite was the story about the selkies. I liked listening about how the woman lost her seal skin and had to marry the man.I also liked how she found her skin and returned to the sea.
