If you are a scientist you may be looking at topics that deal with the environment.
And if you are studying National Four you will have to get your nose round one rather smelly topic – FERTILISER!
Rather than wandering aimlessly through a plethora of bad web sites why not take a look at the selection I have chosen for you below.
If you find a better one – brilliant! Let me know and I will add it to the list.
To visit places that we only read about in books or head about in films was both humbling and inspiring and must never be forgotten.
Have you forgotten yet?…
For the world’s events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you’re a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same-and War’s a bloody game…
Have you forgotten yet?…
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you’ll never forget.
Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz–
The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
Do you remember the rats; and the stench
Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench-
And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
Do you ever stop and ask, ‘Is it all going to happen again?’
Do you remember that hour of din before the attack–
And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back
With dying eyes and lolling heads—those ashen-grey
Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay?
Have you forgotten yet?…
Look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you’ll never forget.
Can books save the world?

The biggest thanks of all must go to the amazing Lari who came all the way from sunny Edinburgh to spend an afternoon inspiring and encouraging us all.
Even though she is now furiously preparing for the big launch of MindBlind on Friday she still cares about us and has left a bundle of goodies for pupils.
To be able to get your hands on a goody for yourself all you have to do is fill in a quick questionnaire about the event.
Please note: Only those who attended one of the three events are able to take part at this time.
It is not often I am drawn to utter the words of the immortal Crankies but today is a special day.
Today is a winning day.
As part of the events of Book Week Scotland two pupils from St.Ninian’s – Holly and Daryl were asked to go on Glow TV to talk about their favourite books, read the news and promote a Book Week Scotland competition.
Never one to miss an opportunity I thought to enter said competition on the tiny off chance that we might just win.
A phone call from the ever so lovely Helen from the Scottish Book Trust confirmed the the off chance became the right chance and we have won.
£1500 worth of shiny new books will be winging their way to the library this week.
So a HUGE thanks to Scottish Book Trust and The Herald Newspaper for picking our name out of the hat.
Pop in to the library soon to check out the new books.
For me the great storm of 13 will also be known as the great book winning day of 13 – not quite as catchy but much more welcome!
Suzanne Collins is at it again and had created another world to immerse yourself in.
Not Panem but the Underlands.
The new books will be available in the library very soon …
But, in the meantime why not create your very own Underland creature?
As part of our Unmasked project we met up with our counterparts from Woodfarm and our experts Glasgow graphic artists Metaphrog.
The lecture theatre was awash with creativity as our groups moulded and developed their stories guided by our knowledgable guests.
Questions on storyboarding, drawing, setting scenes and creating effective dialogue were all answered with a flourish.
I am sorry to say that this is the last time we will be meeting with John and Sandra; AKA Metaphrog but they have promised to keep in touch and answer any questions we might have. In return I have promised them a copy of our finished work.
A great day and thanks to everyone who put in so much effort… keep up the great work and many thanks to the Scottish Book Trust for helping us fund this brilliant event.
I know when you look out of the window (I would feel the same if I had a window!) at the rain and the wind that summer seems so far away.
So, to cheer you up here is a nice picture.
OK, stop drooling and I will get to the point-
We librariany type people are looking at creating a summer reading challenge for you! –
The kiddies have theirs and so do your mums and dads and grannies and grampas and auties and uncles and ,you get the point, but what about you?
Well, there is no point creating something that no one will want to take part in so that is why we are asking for your opinion on how the scheme should be set up and run.
So click on the link and answer the questions and everyone who answers will be entered into a competition to win a mystery prize.
Why a mystery prize?
Because I don’t know what they have bought- t’is true dear reader.
Many thanks for your participation in this and good luck!
If you are ever lost in the library?
Not sure what to choose?
Feeling left out?
Then do not fear young learner there is a superhero at hand to save you fom your boredom – yes it’s Genreboy!
Thanks to the hard work of some lovely pupils from Mrs. Quinn’s English class our hard working superhero took shape.
Never feel alone again!
Thanks Frankie 😉 for being our model
