Well we did manage to have 2 fun days in literacy week. They were full of parent, staff and pupil involvement and reading was the name of the game. As we hide away from the weather today remember that it is World Book Day so use your day off school to celebrate your love of books. Read as much as you can, maybe build a snow library or something exciting.

Primary 4 are very aware that every child has rights. One of these rights is to know what’s happening in the news.
