What a whirlwind! 2018 Book Week Scotland has been and gone in a flash. We celebrated in the department with a variety of different activities. Our weekly book group was on everyday with an incredible turnout of pupils across all year groups with our dedicated Literacy Ambassadors leading by example. Staff participated by sending us their favourite books with a short review. Staff sent us their favourite rebel characters who ranged from Luke Skywalker to Jo March from Little Women. Pupils created a display with all their favourite rebels and their understanding of what a rebel is and why it can be a good thing. Pupils also participated in #ireadbecause garnering attention from around Scotland with their wonderful replies! Classes also participated in Scotland’s Book Trust 50 Word Story Competition writing around the theme of ‘rebel’ with stories set at a music festival. Phew! We’ve not recovered yet!
