PUSCPS Celebrates Book Week Scotland
Today we had a Book Week Scotland Assembly to celebrate our learning on the lead up to Book Week Scotland.
Miss Burton read us a passage from The Truth Pixie by Matt Haig, as this is book she enjoys reading.
We looked at some of the photos that children had sent in of them reading in an unusual place. Well done to everyone who sent in a photo!

We watched a video in which children from each class shared what they had been learning in class.

We also celebrated our Living our Values children (and adults).
Book Week at Nursery
During book week at nursery we have been listening to stories that our adults enjoy.  Mrs Hamill read “The Elves and the Shoemaker”,  this was a story she enjoyed when she was a little girl. Miss Young picked “The Bears and the Fireworks” from the nursery library as a book she enjoys.  Mrs Arthur chose a book from the nursery library that  she has loved telling over the years to lots of children called “Little Blue Car” and Mrs Montgomery read “Where the Wild Things Are”. This was a book her children enjoyed when they were young. Over the week we talked about our favorite stories and we decided that the “GRUFFALO” was one of our most favorite books.
We enjoy reading stories everyday at nursery.
Reading from an early age helps children with literacy skill all the way through school. A good idea is to read a story at bedtime as part of the children’s bedtime routine.
