The N5 Early Education and Childcare pupils had a visit from Marion Kunderan, Librarian for Children and Young Adults from CultureNL. Marion organises Bookbug Sessions and Children’s activities in the public libraries in North Lanarkshire. She explained the format of the sessions which include songs, stories and rhymes. Bookbug Packs are given to every child in Scotland – they are free and full of brilliant books and goodies to share with the child and are designed to encourage a love of reading and demonstrate how important books and reading are in a childs development. . Marion showed a film of the Bookbug Sessions and then read some of the stories, sang songs, rhymes and games from a typical Bookbug Session. The pupils were shown the types of books that would be suitable from birth to early years. All the class joined in with the activities and will be putting some of these skills into practice in a local nursery.
