It’s been a busy term here at All Saints and the library has been buzzing.

Our S1 Library Assistants made sure the Library was looking sparkly for the festive season by decorating the Christmas tree and helping find all the Christmassy books on the shelves.

We also had the S6 Wellbeing ambassadors with Ms Atkinson arranging a Christmas film for the S1’s, S2’s and S3’s with Elf, The Grinch and Home Alone showing in the library throughout last week.

And to finish off a busy term and an especially busy month we were lucky to have storyteller Joanne Marr into the library where she talked about her experience of storytelling and how she uses oral stories with different groups. She spun tales of dragons and princess, inter-weaved with Scottish Folklore and themes of anti-racism and discrimination. This visit ties into a project earlier in the year where students wrote their own book and the S3’s were keen to hear about the different ways in which storytelling can be used to engage audiences and cover important themes. Some fantastic questions from the group and a great experience for everyone.
