Christmas Reading on the Telly!!!!
Derek France, our school librarian, has passed on an amazing document, which lists every single Freeview Christmas film that has been adapted from a book. The following pages show you 25 of the best, with Christmas Day’s films listed at the end. You can find details of every film in the full document on our website here.
Why not read a book and then watch the film?
Friday 8 May marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Following public consultation it was designated as an additional day’s holiday in East Lothian recognising families’ desire to commemorate this historic occasion. While the current Covid restrictions mean that gatherings or services are not possible, there are still ways to mark the occasion in a safe and socially distanced way.
The Royal British Legion has published a timetable of activities for the day itself where the nation can commemorate VE Day within the current guidelines including a 2 minute silence at 11am and a doorstep ‘Toast to the Nation’ at 3pm.
PoppyScotland’s website has some great ideas and resources if families wish to talk to their children about VE Day or undertake any learning as part of it.
