Explorer Backpack Launch February 9, 2010
Posted by Janette Gaunt in : Nursery , trackbackIn February 2010, all 4 year olds in East Lothian will receive an Explorer Backpack, jointly funded by East Lothian Council and Scottish Book Trust, containing two high quality picture books, a parent’s magazine, a whiteboard set and a Curriculum for Excellence Leaflet.
The main focus of the packs is to encourage a love of reading in the children who receive them, and to provide accessible information to parents and carers about how to interact and engage with books and reading within the home and how to support their child’s learning.
The week beginning 8th February will also see the launch of the Backpackers Club and associated Club Challenge in participating libraries across East Lothian. Click here for more information about the club and backpacks.
Loretto Nursery Class are holding a special story time to gift the backpacks to the children. Parents and carers have been invited to come along and share our story at 11.15 on Wednesday 10th February.
