People Who Help Us is one of the topics studied in North Ayrshire Primary Schools. The People include those working in: health; the emergency services; schools, libraries and other council services; and various other jobs.
Some of the people in our local community have agreed to become reading champions and have recorded themselves reading a traditional tale. We are grateful to them for taking part in this initiative and we hope you enjoy the videos.
