WORLD BOOK DAY COMPETITION
This year, World Book Day took place on Thursday March 3rd. We joined in with this celebration of reading by running a competition for Aberdeen City’s children and young people, aged 3-18. In order to enter, youngsters were asked to submit a photo of themselves reading their favourite book in an interesting or unusual place or situation. They also had
to write about what they were reading, where they were reading it and what they really liked about their book. We had around 400 responses. The entries were a joy to receive and judge be-cause, without exception, they showed incredible creativity and imagination. We had youngsters reading books in mid-air, in the dentist’s chair, on a ski slope, on horses, in a graveyard….. you name it! It was hard to whittle down so many out-standing entries but we did. Thank you to everybody who entered. The overall winner was Charlie Miller from the Nursery at Danestone Primary. The prizewinners in each category were: 3-8 TOP 10
FIRST Charlie Miller Danestone Primary
SECOND Ifechi Ekekwe Kingswells Primary
Dylan Robb Newhills Primary
Holly Davidson Dyce Primary
Andrew Le Poide vin St Peter’s RC Primary
Emily Mitchell Airyhall Primary

Conor Stenhouse Dyce Primary
3-18 TOP 6 (ALL CULTS ACADEMY)
The prizes were presented by Craig Brown in the boardroom at Aberdeen Football Club and the ceremony was followed by a very informative tour of the stadium. Charlie Miller and Sean Black made a special guest appearance on Shmu’s Reading Ra-dio when it was broadcast by Walker Road Primary on 31st March. Charlie was a wee bit shy, so Sean stepped in to answer questions and read from Charlie’s book on his behalf. Sean was a complete natural. I reckon we are looking at a future star of the airwaves!
