To continue the legacy of the Angus Book Award, some of Carnoustie High School’s S3 Art & Design pupils created alternative book covers from a previous year’s shortlist.
The chosen year was 2000. The pupils were given a synopsis of the books (and were actively encouraged to read them)! They also looked at the original jacket design and any subsequent editions. The pupils were very enthusiastic about their task and their efforts were very impressive. 
All the artwork was put on display outside the library (as pictured).
The School Librarian sent each author an alternative cover.
Bernard Ashley whose book “Tiger without teeth” was shortlisted, replied as follows.
” Very many thanks for sending me my new cover for Tiger Without Teeth if ever it should reprint. It’s very good, with force and feel and originality. I send my congratulations to the artists.
For me it was a very good idea that you did this as a project. It shows that the life of a book can go on beyond the first year or two of publication, and can still have some sort of resonance.”

Road Safety Magic have been with various schools undertaking the Bikeability scheme in Scotland. They provide a road safety magic show throughout the U.K. which includes walking and cycling safely to school. The input also includes promotion of walking to school. The session is an interesting and informative experience targeted at lower end primary school pupils, with all attending receiving a copy of the certificate pictured below.

We are currently working to develop our school investment strategy, considering our teaching and learning environments. The strategy will cover a period of up to 30 years broken down over the next 3 – 5 years, 10 years and 25 – 30 years. This is an ambitious and exciting project and we are keen to get input from as many people as possible.
The links below lead to articles in Psychology Today which assert that the state, and design of our schools can impair the performance of learners.
I’d love to know what you think about the attached blog entries and how you think it relates to us in Angus.
