Book Week at Kingarth Street

Book Week AssemblyPupils at Kingarth Street celebrated World Book Day in pirate style, as everyone climbed aboard the good ship Hutchesons' for a week-long journey of reading and listening.

Everyone was involved, including the youngest pupils. Those in P1 and P2 met author and illustrator Ross Collins, who taught them how to illustrate their own books, and Allan Burnett infused P4 and P5 pupils with his irreverent love of history - did you know that digestive biscuits were invented in Scotland?!

P7 pupils worked with Katie Grant, who writes historical novels that combine suspense and romance, and Keith Charters talked about his zany books to P6 pupils.

Throughout the school, older pupils spent time with younger ones in paired reading.
