All pupils will be issued with a First Minister’s Reading Challenge Passport this term. These will stay in school, however please encourage your child to add any texts that they read at home to their passport. Each term classes will be set challenges to complete in class. This term all of the reading challenges have a Scottish focus.

Happy Reading!

“I enjoyed creating my project about dangerous animals. I never realised that humans were in the top 10 dangerous mammals.’ Elliot.

I enjoyed creating animal prints because we had the choice of doing 2 different kinds of prints. We were learning to make our art work look like skin or fur by adding texture.’ Sophie
