We had two inspirational authors who visited the children this week Morag and Michelle. The children were really interested as Michelle was an ex pupil ES Literacy Right To Read Initiative

Personal target for whole school to get excited about reading .... with our library visits, book swap, book mark, find out the teachers' fav book & unusual places to read competitions & shared reading there certainly has been a buzz about reading Glasgow's Improvement Challenge
