Today we celebrated World Book Day in school. PJs and onsies were worn alongside book character costumes. Thank you to everyone who paid a donation to do so. Another thank you to those of you who took part in the readathon to raise money for new literacy resources for our school. You individuals raised a whopping £140.00 sponsor money. Added to the £19.50 donations we received, our class raised £161.50 towards the amazing total overall ……. over £2000.00.

In class we had lots of activities going on that were all linked to reading. We read some more of our class novel, One Dog and his Boy. We had a Read and Munch with P2/1 which was so successful we are planning more. We had lots of ERIC time. Our Bounce Back session today had you all comfy on the floor where I think some of you struggled to stay awake! We also played Conscious Alley for the first time which was linked to our class novel. Our day ended with a whole school assembly dedicated to reading. One of our class was even the lucky winner of the best costume for P4-5 and received a token to spend on ……. books!

The enthusiasm for reading has increased greatly over the last few months and I really hope it continues. Books are wonderful and we can learn so much from them.

Here are some photographs from our very busy day. Enjoy!
