As part of our Book Week Scotland celebrations (which runs from 18th<\/sup>-24th<\/sup> November), P1-3 parents were invited into school this afternoon as part of the Bookbug (P1) \/ Read, Write, Count (P2-3) initiatives. Parents spent time exploring the contents of the bags and discussing ways in which the resources could be used to develop pupils\u2019 literacy and numeracy at home. We also had a look at the \u2018Parent Club\u2019 website which gives further examples of activities to do at home using the resources.<\/p>\n

An excited bunch of P1-3 pupils then joined us and were gifted with their bags. Pupils were desperate to get into their bags and see what it contained! Having sat patiently, we then headed to the classroom where pupils explored the goodies they were given \u2013 some were reading books; others were playing games of rockets & meteors or top trumps; and some were using story cubes to create imaginative silly stories!<\/p>\n

Later in the week to continue the Book Week Scotland celebrations, P4-7 pupils will be doing some paired reading with P1-3, as suggested by the Pupil Council, and some pupils will be watching the Authors Live event which tells the story of the Gruffalo in Scots. We are all looking forward to getting together to enjoy some stories and share in our love of reading!<\/p>\n
