Thursday 1st March was World Book Day! The children enjoyed a wonderful day of reading based activities all designed to encourage us all to take the time to read.<\/p>\n

The pupils arrived at school this morning armed with a pre-loved book which they then donated to The Great Book Swap. What a vast array of fabulous books were on the table for pupils top choose from. Each book had been signed by its owner and a short message of goodwill written inside.<\/p>\n

The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed choosing their new books which are now ready to go to their new homes to be loved all over again.<\/p>\n

The P1-4 class are enjoying their class novel, Demon Dentist and the P5-7 class are sharing Charlotte’s Web as it had been read to Mrs Ferguson when she was a pupil at primary school. You are never too old to enjoy listening to a story!<\/p>\n

D.E.A.R. time was had three times during the day. This stands for Drop Everything And Read for five minutes. From the littlest P1 – to the teachers, everyone downed tools and enjoyed their book – you truly could have heard a pin drop!<\/p>\n

Pupils were also aiming to take an Accelerated Reading test in class wherever possible too. So many words being gobbled up by our resident book worms!<\/p>\n

In addition to all of this, pupils are coming home with their World Book Day tokens today, which can be used towards to purchase of a brand new book. Lots of boys and girls have also handed in their entries for the ‘Design a Book Token’ competition already – but there’s still time if anyone fancies entering this.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your new books everybody – it’s most definitely the weather to cuddle up and enjoy a story!<\/p>\n
