Holmston Primary will be celebrating World Book Day with a variety of reading activities throughout the day. We will be holding a design a book cover competition, a Where’s Wally? Competition and an Inter House Book Quiz.
Pupils are encouraged to bring in their favourite book to share and dress as a book character for the day.
Events also include a book swap. Pupils can bring in books that they no longer want from home and swap them with others in the school. Tokens will be given for each book brought in. Each token can be used to ‘purchase’ a new book during the book swap.
We would be delighted if any parents/grandparents/relatives would like to join us by reading an extract from your favourite book to the children. If you are available, please contact the school office by Friday 24th February 2017.
The ‘Future Me’ campaign as part of Read, Write, Count, encourages families across Scotland to share their children’s dreams for the future.
South Ayrshire Council are keen to hear the views on what’s important for children and families to help us to develop South Ayrshire’s Children’s Service Plan. This will help support joint working to enable children in South Ayrshire to be safe, healthy, achieve, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included.
Well done to all the finalists in our Burns Competition. The standard was incredibly high and this made the task of judging very difficult. We would like to thank Mr. Gemmell, our minister, who sat on the judging panel. The overall winner of the Market Inn Burns Quaich was Oliver – congratulations.
