Primary 1 pupils at Eyemouth Primary School were recently entertained by a group of S3 pupils from Eyemouth High School as part of Book Week Scotland celebrations. The group, members of the library reading group, were keen to share their enthusiasm for reading with younger pupils. Mrs Renstead, the librarian organised the visit in conjunction with primary teachers, Ms Horne and Mrs Delaney.
The stories – “Ringo the Flamingo” and “Owl Babies” captured the attention of the primary pupils with plenty keen to ask questions at the end. Millie, an S3 pupil said “It was nice to make a connection with the younger pupils who behaved so well.” Ebony added that for her the experience had been “absolutely amazing.” Thank to Scottish Border Council Library Service for supplying the story sacks.
