To mark World Book Day, as well as a Reading is Power display we ran the following special activities:
Library competition – match the character to the book. Pupils had to track down members of staff who were wearing character badges and identify the book. This created a real buzz around the school.
Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) – pupils were invited along to the Library at break and lunchtime for books, biscuits and banter. They could also pick up one of three WBD books.
The 12 books displayed below are currently being read by the following 12 members of staff. Can you match the book to the reader?
1. Mrs Anderson 2. Mr D Chessor (jannie) 3. Mr G Polson (jannie) 4. Mr Gisby 5. Mrs Hall 6. Mrs D McWilliam 7. Mrs Napier 8. Mr Nicklas 9. Mr Paterson 10. Mrs Redpath 11. Mrs Thomson 12. Mr Willox
