Favourite Books and More

I am really enjoying reading all of the comments about your favourite books. This is a discussion that could go on for a long time I think! Great to see.
In the next wee while, I will add a post where you can suggest some books that you would like
to see in the Literature Circles books in the school. I would love to see some recommendations from some of our younger children too.
In the meantime, please keep those comments coming and don't forget to become a follower on the blog. It's great to see that some of the classes have included comments on this blog as part of their homework. Keep up the awesome effort.

More about our favourite books!

I have really enjoyed reading about all the books our teachers have enjoyed as children! What a wonderful and diverse range. I hope other parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and , of course, children keep adding to the discussion. Don't forget to become followers everyone! I wonder how many followers we can get before the end of the term??

Digital Storytelling Using Podcasts




We had a great day yesterday at Enrich where we learned about creating podcasts and using them as digital storytelling
tools. We will be creating many of these and sharing them with you. The children are going to run workshops for other
children to learn these skills.
This is another fantastic way to encourage reading, writing and oral language.

Keep the discussion going!

Hi everyone. We're really enjoying the discussion of your favourite children's books.
Keep adding your thoughts to the post below as comments. Wouldn't it be fantastic if
we could get comments from everyone in the school community - and further afield??!!

What Was Your Favourite Book When You Were A Child?

What was the best book you loved to read when you were younger?
This is our first discussion starter - not just for the children, but for
everyone at Myross Bush - and further afield if you are reading
this from somewhere else!
I loved all the Enid Blyton books but I also had a soft spot for the classics
like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, etc, and then there was always
Dr Seuss!!
What about those series you loved to collect - the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and
Trixie Belden books....
Please add your discussion as a comment and we'll see where our love of Literature
takes us.
