As part of the First Minister’s Reading Challenge, The Library Committee are hoping to find out how far your book can travel. Over the holidays, please take a book with you on an outing and bring in a photo of you reading it, with a note of how many miles it travelled from your home.

e.g. take your book to Spain and snap a picture of you reading at the pool or take your book to the zoo……….

World Book Day 2018 

With World Book Day fast approaching, we wanted to let you know about how we plan to celebrate it this year!

Amongst the whole school activities that we will be doing on Friday 2^ndMarch, the Parent Council have also organised a very exciting event………………………

Braidbar Parent Council are planning a Book Swap to celebrate World Book Day.  We ask that on Thursday 1st March pupils bring in a book they are happy to swap.  On Friday 2nd March they will have an opportunity to choose a new book to take home.  Please note that children may donate more than one book but each pupil will only be allowed to take one book home.  Left over books will be offered to the school for the library or classrooms (any extra will be donated to local charity shops).

We look forward to celebrating books and reading with you!
