Book Fair!

Book reading

As you will know the Scholastic Book Fair is in school this week!

Children have had the chance to have a look at the books and see if there is anything they might like to buy yesterday and today.

They will then be able to purchase their books tomorrow and Thursday.  Primary 1a, 1b, 2, 2/3, 3 and 4 will be able to buy books tomorrow (Wednesday) and P4/5, 5, 5/6, 6, 7a and 7b will be able to buy their books on Thursday.  Please send your children in with money on the day if they wish to buy a book.

The Book Fayre will be available on the night of the Parent/Teacher Meetings when you can purchase books for your children if you wish.
