As part of Book Week Scotland the Library ran an all day Book Fit house competition for S1/S2 pupils. Pupils were challenged to cycle on exercise bikes whilst reading the newly launched book The Red Shoes and Other Tales by our Patrons of Reading, graphic novelists metaphrog.

Each house group had their own spin bike which they were challenged to keep moving throughout the day. After an impressive start by Mr Hose (Guidance) and Miss Ross (Business Studies), Macbeth took an early lead. This was short lived though with a massive effort by Stewart House pushing them into the lead by an impressive 20km by lunchtime.  Wallace house put in a last surge of effort during Period 6 to reduce this lead to only 2km.  A tense 30 minute finale ensued with Wallace and Stewart in a serious battle of the bikes.

The final winner was Stewart House will an impressive recorded distance of 220km. Wallace were in second place with 216km and Macbeth 170km.

Pupil enjoyed reading The Red Shoes and Other Tales loving the darkness of the graphic novel.
