This morning Emily MacKenzie visited P1, P1/2 and P2. We had a wonderful time listening to her stories and learning how to draw her characters. We learned about her inspiration behind some of the characters and the journey she went on to become an author and illustrator. We definitely have some budding illustrators in the making here at Tollcross! We will be ordering several copies of her books over the next few weeks for pupils to borrow and share with you at home, we hope you enjoy the stories as much as we do! Thanks to the First Minister’s Reading Challenge- Inspiring Classrooms project for the funding to allow this to happen.

This is our plan for this Wednesday for National Numeracy Day. All parents are very welcome to pop in from 9 – 9:30 to see Number of the Day and our Big Brain Stretch Challenges. 🧠💪
