Good luck to all our incredible, hard-working pupils who are sitting the English exam this week!!!

First Minister’s Reading Challenge:

To award our S1 pupils who submitted creative responses to books from our SHELF CARE: MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING BOOK LIST, they received a special invite to our very own BOOK BAR! Healthy drinks based on some of our favourite titles. Click here for more details and photographs!

A little Spring Reading Challenge!

Try to complete as many as you can over the holiday…and don’t forget to keep reading books for our First Minister’s Reading Challenge too!!

Speak to your English teacher for a study pack or revision work for the upcoming exams! Here are examples from Miss Rothery and Miss Lawrie’s classes. Don’t forget to also check under the Senior Phase tab on our blog for more revision!!

We are so pleased that Drop Everything and Read was another success!! It was incredible to see staff and pupils across the school stop and enjoy reading after such a busy term! A special thank you to Mr Santi who delivered a hilarious radio-host tannoy! Bravo!!

We are so excited to be hosting another Drop Everything and Read (D.E.A.R) on Wednesday!! Pupils and staff- don’t forget to bring your books in and listen carefully for the tannoy to signal when to start reading!!

We believe in the magic of storytelling! In honour of World Storytelling Day (March 20th), pupils completed various story-related activities across the department. Many were linked to our First Minister’s Reading Challenge focus: Mental Health and Well-Being!

Our top S1 readers of the First Minister’s Reading Challenge were rewarded with a special book party! We enjoyed lots of book-related treats and a WBD quiz. Well done to these pupils!!

REMINDER:

Our First Minister’s Reading Challenge is still on-going through spring! Keep up the enthusiasm and happy reading!!

World Book Day is Thursday, March 7th!

S1 pupils who have read the most books in our Reading Challenge will receive prizes and a special lunchtime party (Thursday in Miss Rothery’s room!)

Bring your book stamp card!

Invitations will be given out tomorrow!
