4-4-2 Reading Challenge
Livingston FC, West Lothian Youth Foundation, the SPFL Trust and Scottish Book Trust have teamed up to launch a pioneering pilot project, which aims to encourage kids to read.
The Lions are working in partnership with 14 SPFL clubs and local libraries, to deliver the 4-4-2 Reading Challenge which aims to inspire children aged 5-12 to read four books in exchange for match tickets.
The initiative centres on a reading “challenge card” which participating clubs and libraries will issue. For every book read, children will receive a stamp on their card.
When they have read four books, participants will receive a FREE match ticket for a home league match at The Tony Macaroni Arena, while an accompanying adult will be able to purchase a discounted ticket.
We are delighted to be part of this initiative, and our children are lucky they have a library on their doorstop. Our cards will be arriving this week and children can visit our Community Library at the times below to borrow a book and collect their card.
- Monday: 2:00-5:00pm
- Wednesday: 2:30 – 4:30pm
- Thursday 2:00-6:00pm

Keeping Safe Nursery Blog
We used a talking box this week in nursery to talk about keeping ourselves safe at home. We discussed things we should not touch and looked closely at household items and photographs of objects. Our knowledge of our personal safety is continuing to develop.
Here are some of our comments:
Emily: “My mummy puts the plugs in. You would get electricity”.
Demilouize: “You would maybe get ‘electricitied'”.
Lucy: “You would get a shock”.
Zachary: “Those are sharp. They are so sharp you might cut your finger”.
Millie: “If you touch hot water it will burn you”.
Grace: “Hair straighteners are hot”.
Callum: (Kettle) “You would burn your hands”.
Sara: ” You can burn yourself”. (Scissors) – ” Big ones for adults, you can cut your fingers.
Kiannah: “The red ones are much sharper”.
Heidi: ” We get safe cos we don’t want anything to happen”.
