Book Week Scotland

 

Author visit : We started our Book Week Scotland celebrations by inviting author Barbara Henderson into school. Barbara was here to talk to four S1 classes about her eco-thriller Wilderness Wars. The novel asks the question: what if nature fights back? and is a fast-paced adventure story which explores our relationship with nature.… Pupils found the talk really entertaining. Feedback was extremely positive

                  

 

Throughout the week the following events took place:

  • I am currently reading……….. posters appeared  on classroom doors so pupils could  find out what their teachers were reading.
  •   DEAR Library (Drop Everything And Read)  took place in the library during Library club on  Wednesday 13th November at lunchtime
  • Most Despicable Character from a Book Competition. Pupils had to decide upon a character and give their reasons. We had a good response – Voldemort seemed to be the favourite!
  •  The annual Big Book House Quiz was held on the 20th November. Team Mo Bamba won with Dumbledore’s Army a close runner up.
