Reading stories helps us to see things through other people’s eyes and helps us to develop empathy.
On the week of 18 May – empathy lab will be launching toolkits for schools which can be used on Empathy Day, 9 June, just email primary@empathylab.uk or secondary@empathylab.uk and write Toolkit in the subject to be sent a link for the toolkits.
Family activity packs full of ideas and downloadable resources to support home learning are available now – click here.
Due to the school closures, the deadline for sending submissions to the First Minister’s Reading Challenge has been extended to the 14th May 2020.
Your evidence of nurturing a love of reading can be in the form of a piece of writing, or a film, photo diary, presentation or mind map. It may not be what you had intended due to the lockdown, but Scottish Book Trust are really keen to hear about your good work.
Scottish Book Trust is also running an online webinar on 21st April on how to submit your Challenge entry, more information can be found here.
GOOD LUCK!
