BEDTIME STORIES

Here is an article from The Guardian newspaper about the benefits of reading bedtime stories to children.  Research has shown that  bedtime stories are key to developing a love of reading in children and helping their literacy progress.   This article can be found at http://gu.com/p/4cjj3/sbl .

We are going to be focussing on reading stories at Monday’s assembly as part of Book Week Scotland.  I’m looking forward to hearing all about the children’s favourite books and stories and authors and sharing mine.

My little daughter’s favourite books at the moment are the Winnie the Witch books by Valerie Thomas.  We both love the pictures drawn in them by Korky Paul.

Help us to promote a love of reading by posting the name of your child’s favourite story here.

We have been saying prayers this week for the P7 pupil from St Mary’s Polbeth who died in West Calder this week. We have gone over staying safe on our roads. Our thoughts and prayers are with the St Mary’s community.

We are also remembering the people who have lost their lives in any conflicts to keep us safe. We are visiting the Cenotaph on Monday afternoon

We have been loving Rookie Rockstars and recorded our CD this morning. Lots of us feel it’s been the best week we have had at school for a long time!We are now looking forward to the concert next Tuesday.

We are looking forward to Mrs Paterson’s retiral celebrations next week, although we know it’s going to be very sad too.

We can’t wait to go and watch the ‘Sunshine on Leith’ production at St Kent’s on Tuesday.

What a busy week lies ahead!

Can we remind everyone to stay safe and remember the safety rules if people are attending firework displays and bonfires this weekend.
