Staff had &#8216;What I&#8217;m reading&#8217; posters on their doors and sent &#8216;Shelfie&#8217; pictures in for display. We had &#8216;Read a book week&#8217; in English and in other classes too, where pupils in S1-3 got to read a book of their choice and hear readings from their teachers&#8217; favourites.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">S1 ICT classes did &#8216;All About Me&#8217; presentations, linking the talking and presentation skills to literacy. In S3\/4\/5 Administration &amp; IT they were all working on spreadsheets\/word processing with an emphasis on the importance of proof reading and presentation so that they were suitable for any document or audience. Also, in S5\/6 Business Management and Computing Science, pupils researched an entrepreneur or computing programmer they admired and used the research to create a biography. In Art, S1 pupils read from Theresa Breslin&#8217;s &#8216;Scottish Folk Tales&#8217; and drew beautiful illustrations to match.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">At lunchtime on Wednesday, it was &#8216;Storytime in the library&#8217; where a number of teachers spoke about and read from books that meant something to them. Finally, on Friday and to round the week off, we had the &#8216;S1 Book Quiz&#8217; where teams from every class in S1 (joined by staff from different departments) battled it out to see who had the supreme knowledge of books! The week was a tremendous success thanks to the enthusiasm of both staff and pupils.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/attachments\/fancy_images\/UKNLC\/2018\/11\/2269569\/2363293\/book-quiz_crop.jpg\" alt=\"Literacy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotlight on Literacy Week The main aims of the week were to focus on literacy, particularly reading, and all of the good practice we already have in Our Lady&#8217;s.
