October and November have been busy in All Saint’s Library.

We were very lucky to have some artefacts from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum brought into the library for S2 pupils to engage with. The boxes look at WWII On the Front and the Home Front and include some incredible original objects from over 75 years ago. Pupils were able to see the weight and size of a replica incendiary bomb. Pick up a real Nazi flag from WWII, hold a lighter made out of coins and shells from the battlefields, and read the letters home soldiers sent to their loved ones.

After the session there was a WWII book display ready to go for more information and a chance to learn more about soldiers on the front lines and life in the UK during WWII.Thanks to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum for lending us the boxes and letting the S2’s get hands on with history! 

We also celebrated Languages Week with a special display linked into all the lovely events happening across the school. The fashion show in the square was a particular highlight! Pupils were happy to see some of the languages they speak on display and available in the library and it was a superb opportunity to highlight the diverse range of books on offer at the school.

As we near the end of December it is almost time to get into the Christmas spirit and enjoy some cosy festive reads.
