Author Visit

The school was delighted to welcome a local author who came along to meet with Pr.7 to launch her first novel.  Jane Burns is a local woman who has set her book in Coatbridge and in particular features Summerlee.  Her book is titled ‘My Sister’s My Teacher’.  We look forward to welcoming Jane back to the school to carry out some creative writing workshops and also to speak with our great readers in Pr.6.

The junior and senior department were delighted to welcome an array of new fiction texts to add to their class libraries.  Many thanks to Mrs.Fraser who spent a great deal of time making sure the chosen books will encourage our children to read for enjoyment.  Most of the books purchased appear on Nicola Sturgeon’s Reading Challenge list.  We are thankful to all parents who purchased books are our two previous Book Fairs as the books are purchased with the commission from sales.
