We hope you are all remembering about our Big Book Swap taking place at Abbotswell next week! We are keen to promote a love of reading amongst our pupils in P2 and we feel this is a great way of getting the children to share and talk about books they’ve read. Of course, it’s also a great way of the children enjoying new books at no expense!! Please encourage your child to bring in a book or magazine to school next week which they are happy to swap. (They may bring in more than one if you are feeling like having a clear out!) Our Big Swap will take place at the end of the week with P3 and hopefully all the children will find an exciting new book or magazine to take home with them and enjoy!

It turned out to be a successful week for another one of our new pupils – Daniel! It is great to see Daniel settling in well to our class and making new friends! Daniel has tried very hard with some of his tasks this week and we hope he keeps up the good work. Congratulations to Daniel on his first Pupil of the Week award at Abbotswell School!

We had a lovely afternoon this week doing some shared reading with the P7 boys and girls. We took along lots of our Katie Morag books and enjoyed sharing some of our favourite stories with our P7 friends! It was great to hear about how their Michael Morpurgo Author study was going too!
