Your Voice Your Choice 5K Give Away

Your Voice Your Choice 5K Give Away

Last night four pupils from Ladyloan attended St. Andrews Church in Arbroath for the ‘Your Voice Your Choice’ bid and presentation.

The Scottish Government set aside £5,000 for community improvements in Arbroath.

In our school we have been working hard on our reading and literacy skills.  The pupils asked for £1,000 to continue raising attainment within Ladyloan.

The pupils shared the work they had done so far and what they planned to do with the money if they were successful.

Many other community groups attended including, The Learning Tree Partnership, Fireworks for Arbroath & Arbroath Men’s Shed.

Ladyloan were given over £700 towards the purchase of comprehension cards.

Well done to the pupils who went along to present.

P5 Literacy Fund Winners!

Miss Wightman & P5 secured a share of a £1500 literacy fund set up by Stewart Milne Homes.

The pupils submitted their top 5 books as part of the competition.

Ladyloan was 1 of 6 schools selected from over 40 entries to celebrate the importance of reading and to enable the provision of new books.

The £250 prize will allow us to build on our library resources to encourage the exploration of new texts and for our pupils to continue to enjoy reading.

Well done to everyone involved!
