As part of our Reading Schools Award we are working to promote reading for pleasure and enjoyment.
A growing number of studies show reading can have a major impact on on children and young people’s attainment, self-confidence and well-being.
Next week we will be opening our long awaited, refurbished library (just in time for World Book Day on Thursday 4th March) We hope everyone will enjoy reading and exploring all the fantastic books we have. Classes will be invited along for an opening event and then will have an allocated time each week to spend in the library.
This is what our library looked like before..
Each pupil has been given a token for World Book Day which can be exchanged at participating retailers (Waterstones book shop in Livingston is one) for a selection of short, free books or used to discount other books by £1. The tokens can be used from now until 27th March.
NEXT FRIDAY 4th March we will be celebrating World Book Day by dressing up ..or down .. if you wish. We would really love to see some characters from books!
We are looking forward to a fun…and book-filled week ahead!
