World Book Day: Annanhill Primary
/World Book Day is always a fantastic event. It’s great to see the kids and teachers all making an effort and dressing up to celebrate. On Twitter, I was able to see some wonderful pictures of schools all across the constituency making the most of it.
Ahead of World Book Day itself, on Thursday (2nd March), I visited Annanhill Primary to mark the occasion. I read Horrible Histories: Frightful First World War to the P4GM class.
For me, this was perfect as I was able to relate one of my biggest interests to the pupils. I have a great passion for history, and in particular, the First World War, and the class were brilliant.
We carried out a quiz with the class and I also participated in a Q&A with the pupils which was really fun. The importance of reading cannot be underestimated, and it is vital we do all we can to convey this.
Despite living in a digital age where everything is accessible at the click of a button, nothing beats picking up a hardback and reading away at your own leisure! It was refreshing to see how keen the kids were.
Many thanks to P4GM, Mrs Gemmell and everyone at Annanhill for having me.
