Scottish Book Trust Schools Event with Joseph Coelho

Thursday 22nd February

Joseph Coelho will be in school to see children in from P4-P7.

Joseph is a performance poet and playwright who is “a fresh new voice in children’s poetry”. He works tirelessly to dispel the view that poetry is “boring” with his fun and exciting poetry.

Following the event Joseph will sign copies of his books. If your child already owns copies please get them to bring them along to be signed.

Your child can also buy copies of Joseph Coelho’s books on the day (see attached letter for prices).

Children are under no obligation to buy books but if you would like them to we are able to accept cash and cheques (please make them out to Scottish Book Trust).

We’d like to take the opportunity to remind parents to send kids in weather appropriate clothing where possible during the snow.

We encourage the children to play outside when the snow is sitting or light and would recommend boots, gloves, hats and coats to help avoid wet feet and cold hands and where possible waterproof trousers.

“The Dalry Christmas Clan Craft Event” took place this week with the children touring the school over the day, in clan groups of mixed ages, to produce some amazing christmas crafts.

At the end of the day we gathered in the hall and each clan showed their work to the others.

Lots of mess and fun was had.
