As part of our Book Week Scotland celebrations, parents were invited into school today to see P1-3 pupils being presented with their Bookbug (P1) and Read, Write, Count (P2-3) bags.
This initiative, ran by the Scottish Book Trust and Scottish Government, sees every P1-3 child receive a free bag which contains beautiful books, educational games and writing materials. The bags are designed to help build parents’ confidence and encourage families to include easy and fun reading, writing and counting activities into their everyday lives.
After being gifted with their bags, pupils then spent some time in class exploring the contents – P1s curled up to listen to some stories; there was lots of laughter from the group who were running around trying to find items that matched the adjective cards; and the boys enjoyed using their measuring tapes to find items that were longer/shorter than a given length.
We hope you all enjoy exploring the contents of the bag with your child at home!
