2023-2024
The committee has continued its work on developing the school library and organising events such as World Book Day and Scottish Book Week. Children across the school continue to enjoy the extra input of non-fiction books. The Parent Council are also involved in supporting book initiatives in the school and with their Tesco Fundraising we hope to purchase outdoor cushions for our new Willow Structure as well as the outdoor classroom so we can enjoying more reading outdoors.

What fun we had when we dressed up in pajamas and promoted enjoyment of personal reading. The committee again suggested activities for the day and were very pleased with the fun everyone had that day.

Children have been helping develop our new library and gathering information from peers about how everyone feels about reading. They have presented their findings at assembly. Later in the year they will help organise the World book Day event.
Discussions will also take place about the types of books in our library and how they reflect UNCRC targets of representing a wide variety of cultures and beliefs.

2020-2021
The Reading Committee was formed in the 2020-2021 school year. Children on the committee helped promote reading in different ways including organising Harry Potter Day in May 2021. Everyone dressed up and the school was decorated like Hogwarts. What great fun it was.
The committee encourage reading in class by surveying pupils about what kinds of class books they would like in their library. They will be promoting books on their display sharing reviews on a regular basis.
