Our School has been awarded funding to carry out an Inspiring Classrooms project as part of the First Minister’s Reading Challenge. Inspiring Classrooms consists of a small grant for school’s to create an exciting project of their choice that includes an author visit and books or reading materials for children taking part.
Our particular project has focused on:
An author visiting the School. We had Badger the Mystical Mutt visit who is a character created by McNicol and Jackson. The authors talked today about the book with Primary 1-4. The theme of the books are about following dreams, ambitions and self-belief. The children had a wonderful experience and a selection of the books will be available in School for the children to read.
Our aim is to further motivate readers and develop positive attitudes and excitement about reading.
