As the first term draws to a close, Serena, our library assistant at Eastbank Academy, has written a post about what\u2019s been happening in the library!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Term 1 at Eastbank has been a pleasure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school has fully embraced the library being open again and English classes are coming to borrow books at least three periods a day, and Fresh Start, Journalism, ESOL, social subjects and home economics have also brought classes to borrow books! The library is also a vibrant hub of activity with senior pupils in every period studying, and MCR Pathways making full use of the space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creative Writing club has started and increased from fortnightly to weekly due to pupil request, and a group of dedicated library volunteers come weekly to help make new displays, scan books, tidy up shelves and make recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Wee Read event was a huge success- we had a display and tannoy announcements and bookmarks and stickers given out in the library and in English classes. In addition, pupils were particularly excited about the pop-up free book giveaway we had in the library made up of lots of donated books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also exciting to hear how other departments celebrated Wee Read – an R.E. teacher read a 6 minute extract from Harry Potter with his classes as they discussed similar themes in class, and the ESOL group came to the library to choose books and wrote down 3 words from their book each that they didn\u2019t know to learn and discuss together. Several teachers also came to make a library card and borrow books!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
