• Because we love reading
  
• Because we love chatting about books
  
• Because we like to share books and recommend them to each other
  
• Because we think that having time to read, maybe with something nice to eat and drink, is one of life’s real pleasures. 

• We will meet on a Monday at lunchtime about once a month
  
• We will have 8-12 members
  
• A member will lose their place in the club if they miss 2 meetings without explaining.
  
• If you haven’t read the book – don’t come to the meeting. If you miss 2 meetings – you lose your place
  
• After each meeting, we can write notes or a book review on the book and put it on the school blog 

• A copy of the book
  
• A drink (fruit shoot or something hard to spill please) 

• 8-10^th May 2010 – the Ullapool book festival will have a children’s author visiting – maybe we could plan a trip?
  
• Author visit to the school – with a little bit of fundraising we could try to arrange for an author to come to the school and chat to us. 

On Monday the 29th of June 2009 primary 4 and 5 went for thier school trip. First we went to the Inverness ice rink. In the ice rink it was very cold but we all had fun. After we went to the Aquadome. We went on the flumes and and went in the pool with the wave machine on.it was fun.

It is a new term at our school and we have a new topic which is called Send a Cow. This is a charity which helps people in Africa.  P4 and P5 are doing this in the summer term.  We have to read as many  books as we can for money. We will be  sponsored by our friends and family.  Hopefully we have anough money to send something to Africa. We are all excited but nervous to read so many books.

Primary 4’s topic

Primary 4’s topic this term is the Vikings.  They lived hundreds of years ago. We learnt how to write in Viking runes and things like settlements, their clothing, their lifestyle and we played some Viking games. We really liked our topic.

By Rowan and Aurora.

These are the finished Viking houses.

Big thanks to Jackie Woods for all her help!

My new baby brother was born on Monday 23rd of February in Raigmore Hospital.

He is called Kayden and he weighed 10lbs 9oz. He now weighs 11lbs 2oz!!

He is a good baby  though he cries a lot. Mum brought him to school to show my class and Primary 5 saw him too, because we were all practising for our show.

 Jordan’s mum challenged him to keep quite for ten minutes.

Jordan managed this (to everyone’s surprise!) and he raised £10 for Red Nose Day.

Mrts Thomson thinks that’s a good idea for all of Primary 4!!

For World Book Day we had to bring in photos of people doing extreme reading.
Mrs Millar took these photos of book-lovers round the school

Global Rhythms

On friday Laura came and all the classes had a session of Global Rhythms. We worked with Primary 5.

We did all sorts of different dances.

One of them was the American dance. It was  like a street dance. It was good fun.

We hope she comes again soon.
