This week saw us celebrate all things books as part of Book Week Scotland. The week was kicked off last Friday with our visit from author Renita Boyle. We then had P1-3 parents into school on Tuesday as part of the gifting of our Bookbug/Read, Write, Count bags.
Our Pupil Council then planned a book swap, after which everyone curled up in class with a hot chocolate and marshmallows to enjoy their new books.
We held a competition to design a book cover for our favourite books. The standard of artwork was very high. Portpatrick Community council kindly donated book tokens for prizes to keep our avid readers devouring those books. Our winners are as follows:
P5 – 7: Conor P1 – 4: Adam
To round off the week, pupils were able to come into school dressed as their favourite book character on Children in Need day, in return for a small donation to the charity.
