LGBT+ History Month<\/strong> \u2013 During February, the Pupil Library Committee and LGBT+ group pupils curated their own display for LGBT+ History Month, creating their own poster, bunting and selecting books to highlight from the Libraries collection. The school library also curated a digital booklist for Young Adult Fiction<\/a> and Graphic Novels<\/a> to add to Mr Lynch\u2019s LGBT History Month interactive choice board, that enables pupils to learn about significant events, activists, and literary figures from the LGBTQ+ community. The Library also hosted an LGBT History Month quiz to highlight the history, social change, and figures with prizes to be won.<\/p>\n

EAL Book Group<\/strong> \u2013 Our EAL book group completed two books. The House of Clouds<\/a><\/em> by Lisa Thompson, a beautiful story that explores friendship, bereavement, and imagination. Our other book, Under the Skin<\/a><\/em> by Cathy MacPhail, discusses bullying and refugee issues within a Scottish context. In the story, our main character Omar writes about how much he loves living in Scotland to his cousin Chat, which we modelled for our letter writing activity.<\/p>\n

Reading Schools<\/strong> \u2013 The school library continues our Reading Schools<\/a> journey. Our committee met to plan a wealth of activities for the upcoming World Book Day<\/a> week. The Pupil Library Committee is heavily involved in this years WBD festivities, hosting pop-up Libraries, helping with arts and crafts workshops, and creating displays to promote an array of literary events taking place throughout March.<\/p>\n
