Our Ready, Read, Repeat! focus on reading day has got off to a great start. The children and staff came into school this morning dressed as book characters and everyone is now involved in the main thrust of the project. Each stage in the school (P1-P7) has £1,000 to spend to create a Reading Corner. The children will be designing their own vision of a comfortable area to read for enjoyment and will then select furniture and fittings to make their vision a reality. In addition, every child will be able to select a book for their new reading corner which will be purchased and dedicated to them. This is a huge amount of money and it will take an even larger amount of effort to pull it all off. However, we’re confident that, at the end of the day it will be Mission Accomplished and we will be able to begin ordering the new furniture, fittings and books and get started on building our reading culture. Maybe we will have a parent drop-in to show off our work when everything is complete – we’ll ask the children if they think that would be a good idea. Meantime, here is a photo gallery of the various outfits and activities going on at the moment:
