World Book Day – Thursday 1st March

Posted on by

We have lots of activities planned by P6/7 for World Book Day this year!  Some of these include:

  • Book Charades
  • Making Bookmarks
  • Book Quiz
  • Book Hunt
  • Guess the Character
  • Book themed fancy dress or bring a prop

We are also taking part in a charity book swap to support Children 1st.  You should bring a book you are happy to swap with someone else.  There is also the option to bring in a small donation to support Children 1st’s work.  Anyone who takes part will receive a bookmark from Children 1st.

Your Place, Your Space Reading Challenge

Posted on by

To mark the start of our journey on this year’s First Minister’s Reading Challenge, we would like you to share a photo or picture of you enjoying a book in a place of your choice during the October break.

You can read in familiar or unusual places, at home or away, a secret place or a well-known landmark, indoors or outdoors…anywhere at all!

Photographs can be printed or emailed to us at:

If you have no access to a camera or device with a camera, or simply prefer to, you can draw a picture of you reading in your place.

Happy reading!
