Scottish Children’s Book Awards
Barrhead High School Book Group members were delighted to be invited to the awards ceremony of the Scottish Children’s Book Awards held recently in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow.
They have been reading and reviewing the shortlisted books over the last few months and voting for their favourites. There was an opportunity to meet the authors and the ceremony itself involved a quiz testing the pupils on their book knowledge. Barrhead pupils came sixth out of 23 schools from all over Scotland. Well done!
