Primary 1 children from Lochnell went to visit Waterstones Book Shop in Oban as part of their Reading Routes programme.
We are trying to find out as much as we can about books and reading. We decided a bookshop would be a good start and since we are also investigating different ways of travelling we went on a bus from Benderloch to Oban and back again.
During our bookshop visit we discovered that there are 25 thousand books in the shop
(they counted them last week) and that they have a special computer programme to order books they don’t have if someone can’t find the book they are looking for.
Christine, who is in charge of the Children’s department explained how the bookshop works and then she read us a story. It was called The Smelly Sprout.
Now we’re looking forward to our Wednesday playdate when parents are bringing their favourite stories to read to us.
