\u2018Chapter Chats\u2019<\/strong> is our new pupil-led, super friendly Book Group for anyone who loves reading. Started by Fabia and Hunnah in S3, we meet in the Library after school on Mondays. Drop in for a quick and friendly book chat. Our meetings last for about 15 mins. \u2026.. perfect if you\u2019re rushing <\/span>home to do your homework or make the dinner. Everyone is welcome, both young people and staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the books we’ve been chatting about :<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m reading ……<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Yellowface\u2019 by R. F. Huang \u2013 an unusual and gripping plot line about a young author who will stop at nothing to succeed. Themes include cultural appropriation, addiction to social media, plagiarism and becoming so lost in a lie you even start to convince yourself!<\/p>\n

Just discovered our young people are reading Rebecca Huang too:)<\/p>\n

Other events<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had great fun with Design a Book Token competition<\/strong> for World Book Day. These designs by Maha and Victoria won joint 1st prize for S1. All entries have also been sent away to the national competition. Well done everyone, fantastic work.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to our brilliant S6 Khola, Claire & Fahima who decorated the display board,\u00a0 and presented prizes to all the winners at our lunchtime celebration. (Fahima is just out of photo as she’s chatting with and encouraging our S1 pupils).<\/p>\n

A fond farewell to all our S6. Their contribution to library events, book groups, paired reading, artwork, general fun, kindness and laughter has been much valued. Exciting times ahead !<\/p>\n
