Declan Carville Day

Following on from Book Week we had a special 'Declan Carville' Day.  We were delighted that Declan came in to school and talked to a number of the children across the school.  The children have been reading Declan's stories and we made a beautiful display of the work they have done.

World Book Day

As part of our brilliant Book Week the school had a special Fancy Dress Competition.  The children could decide to come dressed up as a hero or a villain from one of their favourite books!
Thanks must go to our parents for the brilliant costumes that they made for the day.  We must also thank two members of our Board of Governors who gave up their Thursday morning to come into school to judge the costumes, Mrs Elsie Storey and Mrs Alison Carson.  It was a very difficult job as the standard and the imagination on display was top of the class.  Our Thanks must also go to Miss Bates and the Literacy team for their efforts all throughout Book Week. 
These events for the pupils don’t just happen -  they require a lot of planning and hard work. 
Thanks too to the staff for the super costumes they wore as well.  We hope seeing all the amazing characters encourages all our children to keep reading!


Our Booky Breakfast

We had a fantastic turn out of parents and children to our Booky Breakfast.  The Literacy team helped set it all up and Catriona in the Kitchen was very kind in helping with the Bacon Butties.  There was tea / coffee and juice for the children. The smell of the food was amazing and everyone had books to read on the tables.  Thank you to everyone for supporting the event and also thank you to everyone who helped especially Miss Bates who organised the event as well as all of Book Week.
