In celebration of Book Week Scotland our P1–3 families were invited into the school to discover the fantastic bags gifted to children by the Scottish Government and Scottish Book Trust. All wrapped in rainbow paper the ‘postman’ delivered these gifts to the school this afternoon and the boys and girls were left in suspense to find out what could be inside..
Inside each bag there were between 2–4 wonderful books, a fun activity booklet, and either a card game with maths resources or a magnetic whiteboard with numbers – all designed to make learning at home exciting and enjoyable. We also explored the online resources that go hand‑in‑hand with the bags, giving families even more ways to support literacy and numeracy together.
The highlight of the day was, of course, handing out the bags in class. The children’s faces lit up, before during and after the wrapping paper was removed
-
✨ P2 pupils had lots of fun wit their new binoculars
-
✨ P1 pupils practised sums on their magnetic boards
-
✨ P3 pupils had a blast with their charade cards (these will come in handy next time Kirkcolm has a power cut I’m sure!)
A huge thank‑you to all the parents and family members who joined us. If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry – your child’s bag is waiting in their school bag. Take a peek and enjoy the fab resources together! 🙂
