Royal Mile Primary will be taking part in Scottish Book Week (13^th – 17^th November). We will have fun and exciting activities for the whole school and in the classes during the week and we are hoping that you and your children will be able to join us in our reading week at home.

We will be launching Book Bugs P1 -3 on Friday 17^th November and a separate invite will be sent from the class teachers with a time to join the class.

We will have book competitions that the children can take part in and win a book prize. This year we have a Draw Your Favourite Character from a Book competition for Nursery, P1 and P2. We have quizzes for P3-4 and P5-7 and a chance everyday to guess who was caught reading in school. There will be a reading challenge grid on the School classes Blog and we hope that you will help the children complete some of these challenges and send in either the challenge or pictures that we can share their achievements.

Staff will be reading in different classes over the week and sharing their love of reading.

The challenge in class this year is for children to agree a Recipe for Reading in Royal Mile Primary so please discuss with your children at home what they enjoy about reading and what makes them want to read. We will compile all the ideas and use that to encourage more great reading in school.

We are passionate about creating a Royal Mile Primary Reading Community and hope that you can share sometime with your children next week to read with them or even tell them about your favourite book as a child.

LETS GET READING!

Thank you.
