School Library
Primary 5a officially opened our new school library last week. They were very excited to be the first pupils in the school to explore the shelves and borrow a book. They loved the new books and scanning equipment-just like a real library! The library is bright and colourful and the children particularly liked the reading quotes which decorate the wall.

They raised the funds by selling glitter tattoos, toys, bracelets and knitted school hats during playtimes and lunchtimes and at the Christmas fair. On the visit they got a tour of the hospital and met some of the residents. Erskine has been caring for Scotland’s veterans since 1916; re-building shattered lives, restoring dignity and providing first-class care to ex-Service men and women. In the past year the charity has cared for 1,100 veterans.
