Castleton Primary School benefits from storytelling bursary


Stewart Milne Homes has selected Castleton Primary School in Castlemilk to receive a share of its £1,000 literacy bursary to spend on books for their library. The homebuilder launched the competition


to celebrate national Share-a-Story month in May and called on primary schools and nurseries across central Scotland to share their best-loved stories. Castleton Primary was one of four schools, selected from over 40 entries, to benefit from


the £1,000 bursary set up by the housebuilder to celebrate and encourage reading and have been awarded £250 to spend on new books for the primary school to enjoy. Pupils from both Year 1 and Year 7 were


selected for their winning entry ‘Gorilla Loves Vanilla’ by Chae Strathie as the story they would most like to share. The pupils enjoyed the story together as part of P7s buddy system where they read to P1s. The story was chosen for its amazing illustrations, it’s hilarious


writing and its central message that everyone is unique. Ainsley Rogers, Year 7 teacher at Castleton


Primary, said: “Reading is incredibly important for children of all ages and is a great way to develop their imaginations as well as learning important messages like the one outlined in Gorilla Loves Vanilla. Children’s learning and development is also greatly accelerated by having access to books and on behalf of all the pupils, we would like to say a big thank you to Stewart Milne Homes for this very generous donation which will help us to stock up on lots of new reading material; the pupils are very excited.”
