Yesterday was World Book Day.

‘We watched Emily MacKenzie. She was reading ‘Broccoli Ice Cream’.’ Alexus

‘We had to listen to all the words so that we could copy her drawing of Granville the Dog’ Kayla.

All the pictures looked amazing.

 

 

‘Today was PJ day. We had a comfy reading day.’ Leonor.

‘We were reading books in the library with our Buddies’ Tymon.

We also made little books so we could write our own stories.

‘My favourite part was making the little books because it was good fun’ Finlay.

‘My favourite part was when we read with our Buddies in the library’ Fawn and Myah.

 

 

Coming soon .. our Library opening event ..and World Book Day!

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!

Article 31 (leisure, play and culture): Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.

P1: A Message from West Lothian Libraries

Message from Helene Rennie from West Lothian Libraries:

As we approach some lockdown restrictions being eased and your services resuming in some way I am contacting you to advise about the digital resources we have available free to children who are members of West Lothian libraries.  I would be grateful if you could share this information with parents and carers please.

Every child in West Lothian can and should be a West Lothian library member and we endeavour to engage with and register as many children as possible as part of the ECALM initiative.  However, if a child is not already a library member and their parents/carers are interested in their child becoming a library member then they can simply complete the online application here: http://bit.ly/Join-WL-libraries they will then be sent their child’s membership information and will have access to our digital resources and all of our libraries when we reopen.

During the lockdown we have significantly increased our collection of children’s e-Books and e-Audio books.  These can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/WLlibebooksChildren

We have also purchased e-Books and e-audio books which allow multiple downloads, so there are no waiting lists for these.  The latest addition is Flying Fergus, The Great Cycle Challenge by Sir Chris Hoy and this can be accessed here :https://bit.ly/FlyingFergusTgcc   

The e-audio books are particularly good for younger children providing them with their own personal story times, often with famous actors or even the authors themselves narrating.

If you require any assistance on the use of these resources or library membership applications please do not hesitate to contact me. Email: helene.rennie@westlothian.gov.uk
