World Book Day 2019
Happy World Book Day!
We started our celebrations earlier this week when author Martin Stewart came into speak to our S2 pupils on Monday. Martin gave a great talk about how he became a writer and the inspiration for his books, before reading an extract from his latest novel, “The Sacrifice Box”. This visit was part funded by the Scottish Book Trust as part of their Live Literature programme.
World Book Tokens are being distributed to all the pupils in the school and are available to uplift from the Library. Here are just some of the £1 World Book Day books you can ‘buy’ with your token, as well as using it to get £1 off a full price book.
We are also running a World Book Day competition. This year the prize will go to the funniest joke and the best book review about a funny book. The competition closes next Friday (Red Nose Day).

Happy World Book Day!
Thursday, 2nd March is World Book Day – a huge celebration of authors, illustrators, books and reading in schools, libraries and homes in over 100 countries. World Book Day is the world’s biggest annual celebration of reading – and 2017 marks its 20th anniversary.
Pupils at Calderhead High School marked World Book Day this year by participating in a book quiz. Congratulations to Mrs Johnston’s S3 Maths class who answered all the questions correctly in the shortest time.
The library assistants also created a beautiful book tree, designed by Heather in S3. Pupils and staff have been noting their favourite books and authors on paper ‘leaves’ and adding them to the tree.
Pupils were also issued with World Book day tokens which they can take to their local bookseller or participating supermarket and swap for one of the special World Book Day books or use to get £1 off any full price book instead.
Pupils can redeem their World Book day tokens online through the Scholastic Book Club. This is a great way for pupils and their parents and carers to choose books together and features a wide range of titles with prices starting from just £2.99. You also help to support our school – every £1 you spend will earn 20p for our school in Scholastic Rewards.
There’s never any obligation to order but if you would like to buy anything, you can order online and pay by credit or debit card and don’t forget to enter the number of World Day Book tokens at the checkout to claim your £1 off.
If you choose ‘school delivery’ you will benefit from free post and packing to the school – please remember to add the pupil’s name and class. The books will then be delivered to the school and given to your child.
