Every year to help celebrate Book Week Scotland, P1-3 pupils are gifted with a Book Bug (P1) \/ Read, Write, Count (P2\/3) bag as part of a government initiative to promote literacy and numeracy at home. And despite Covid ruining most things this year, thankfully it didn\u2019t ruin this (albeit it was a bit late since Book Week was technically 2 weeks ago!!!).<\/p>\n
This morning, pupils were presented with their gift bags and got the opportunity to explore the contents. They enjoyed reading the books and playing some of the games contained inside the bags. There was much hilarity with the \u2018This is Dog\u2019 book \u2013 if you have a P1 Bookbug bag, have a keek for yourself!! \u00a0Although this year we were missing the parents (who usually pop in to share in this wonderful event), the pupils were thrilled with their bags.<\/p>\n
Please look out for your child bringing these bags home for you to enjoy together. If you\u2019d like any further information or suggestions on how to use the bags at home, check out the Scottish Book Trust website:<\/p>\n
