While we’re on an early spring break, it’s time to remember some of the fun things we’ve achieved this session. In November, during Book Week Scotland, we enjoyed a feast of activities including:
- Ms Longo’s ‘Scavenger Hunt’ round the Library
- a very well attended Lunchtime Book Quiz,
- Visit from poet and Creative Writing Group leader – John Munro, who inspired pupils with great advice for getting started with writing.
John led 2 writing sessions, one for some lucky S1 classes in the Library. The other was for the whole S2 Year group! We had to take over the Fuel Zone, and John got everyone started with the topic ‘What would you put on your CV to get the job of a ninja warrior’. Much enthusiastic and very creative writing took place!
Throughout the week, Library helpers promoted our Prize Draw, which was enjoyed by everyone who borrowed, returned or renewed a book in the Library during Book Week Scotland.
We also highlighted some exciting pupil recommended titles including:
Robert Muchamore CHERUB series, and Taran Matharu ‘The Summoner’ series.
We look forward to Book Week Scotland in November 2020.
