18 November – Book Week Scotland
Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books and reading that takes place across the country. In Nursery we will be launching a few events to celebrate this.
- Caught Reading – Please take photo’s of your child(ren) at home reading in different places whether they enjoy reading in bed, the bath, in the car, in the garden. Staff will also be sharing their photo’s and we can post them on our Nursery BLOG and/or display them in the nursery. Please email them to Mrs Laing – wllesley.laing@westlothian.org.uk during Book Week Scotland.
- Big Bedtime Read – We will be relaunching our Big Bedtime Read encouraging our families to borrow our packs of books and read at bedtime. Please look out for more information during Book Week Scotland. We are looking for packs that are being borrowed just now to be returned to Nursery by the end of this week so we can prepare them for our relaunch. Many thanks for your support with this.
- Community Book Search – This is a nationwide campaign promoting literacy by finding or hiding books in your community and sharing them with your children. We will be having a used book sale in Nursery during Book Week Scotland to encourage families to get involved and purchase books to help raise funds for the Nursery. The books will include details of how to get involved. Please look out for this.
- Used Book Sale – Please support your Nursery by purchasing books to read at home or to hide as part of the Community Book Search. We will be asking for a small donation which will be used to replenish our existing library.
- Dress Up – Your children may dress up but this is entirely optional.
