The Big Friendly Read
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge for children is The Big Friendly Read. It will start in every library and mobile library across Dumfries and Galloway at the beginning of the summer holidays on Saturday 11th June and finish on Saturday 3rd September.
To complete the challenge children need to register at their local library and then visit the library 4 times over the summer holidays and read six books of their choice. Staff at the library will ask them about the books they’ve read and then give them a Roald Dahl Collectors Card to add to a special Big Friendly Read Collector’s folder. They receive incentives along the way and when they finish they will receive a medal and certificate.
The Big Friendly Read will encourage reading on a giant scale and highlight six key themes -invention, adventure, mischief, word play, child champions and friendship – that are explored in Roald Dahl’s most famous books, and will encourage children to expand their own reading by exploring similar themes, fantastic facts, characters and stories across the best contemporary children’s writing.

Primary 7 Transition Visit
Primary 7 pupils visited Dalbeattie High School on Thursday 19th May as part of their ongoing transition work. Classes meet with Mr McMahon from pupil support and participate in discussions about high school. Pupils also had the opportunity ask any questions they might have about transition days in June or their move to S1 in August. Both classes enjoyed their visits and asked many important questions. Pupils also had a tour of the school visiting different classes and found their way to different areas of the building.
