Well done to all new S1 pupils at Holyrood for showing amazing enthusiasm for reading.

Ms Kaya’s class , 1D, deserves special mention. They have set an ambitious target : – to read 100 books before the Christmas holidays! This class has an excellent work ethic, and enjoyed their visit to the school library on Thursday, with everyone either borrowing a book (or several books), reading quietly, chatting about books, and creating mini-booklets for the ‘Cosy Autumn Reads’ book display.

Autumn mini-books

Reading for pleasure and personal choice is very important to this discerning group of readers. Titles borrowed include Naruto, Avatar, Dog Man, and Bunny vs Monkey, as manga and graphic novels are extremely popular. Some keen readers brought in their own copies of the incredibly popular ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ trilogy. Fact books are also a hit, including first aid, animals, famous footballers and Islamic art.

This class is bound to meet their target very soon. Good luck with your reading, and thank you Ms Kaya and 1D for such an enjoyable library period. Come back soon 🙂
