Heartstopper Colouring Contest<\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate the Netflix debut of Alice Oseman\u2019s bestselling graphic novel, Heartstopper, we held a colouring contesting using one of the official colouring pages. Each submission was put into a prize draw for a chance to win one of three prizes including a Heartstopper bracelet, bookmark, and sticker set. Congratulations to our winners! All pupils who\u2019ve submitted a completed colouring sheet receives a Heartstopper badge.<\/p>\n

P7 Transitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were delighted to meet pupils from across our feeder primary schools into the library as part of Shawlands Academy transition days. Pupils were given a brief introduction to the library service where they were explained all the different opportunities, reading challenges, competitions and events that takes place throughout the year. Pupils completed a scavenger hunt using a Library map and a set of questions to familiarise themselves with the sections and types of books we have in stock. We also asked them to complete a survey that will inform our stock purchasing for the new school year. Each young person received a pupil designed book mark and an Ask Me What I\u2019m Reading badge.<\/p>\n

Pop-Up Library<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pop-Up Library stall is back in lieu of the library space being used throughout the exam period. Here, pupils can browse handpicked goodies selected by the Librarian, request specific titles, or return their books. Our Pupil Library Committee members will be helping at the stall too, we couldn\u2019t run it without them.<\/p>\n

Challenges and Contests<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also continue to promote our range of challenges and contests, including Bookopoly and Ask Me What I\u2019m Reading. Pupils are also encouraged to submit a completed book review to be entered into the monthly School Library prize draw.<\/p>\n
