As you know it is
World Book Week this week and as a school we are working hard to promote reading
for enjoyment.
Each class are taking part in all or some of the following activites:
*Decorate your
door as a book cover
*Bring a Book/Take
a Book – children bring in a book in good condition and swap with someone in
their class
*Reading Safari –
classes go to visit another class to see their newly decorated reading ‘corners’
*ERIC time ideally
every pupil and teacher reading 1.20 – 1.30 each day where possible
*Story as a School
– each teacher will bring in an unusual object. P7 will begin a story
together to include their unusual object and then send this story starter to P1
who will continue it and include their unusual object etc so by the end of the
week all classes will have contributed to story.
*Guess the teacher
behind their favourite book competition – photos of each member of staff behind
their favourite book displayed in entrance foyer. Children can pay 20p to enter
competition to guess who each one is
*Book Character
Assembly – Thursday 5th March
As well as the
above activities parents have been invited to be involved in the following:
*Extreme Reading
Competition – parents to email photos of their children reading in extreme (or
at least unusual) places and I will add them to website
*Make a Book Box –
children, if they wish to, could decorate a shoe box and place in items related to a book and a copy of
the book itself. They could then share their box with classmates, talking
about their book and explaining why they have chosen the items. Prizes to
be awarded for the most creative boxes and all boxes are put on show for the
rest of the school and parents.
Have fun!
