Book Week Scotland – Book Donation
Are you having a clear out of old books or do you have any books you have read and would like to pass on to others to enjoy? If so, then as part of Book Week Scotland, we would like you to donate any books that you no longer need or use to our school libraries for the pupils to enjoy reading.
Book week Scotland takes place from Monday 14th November until Friday 18th November. Throughout that week, pupils can bring in any books they would like to donate to our school. They will receive a sticker to write their name on and place inside the book.

The Book Fair Update
Thank you very much for your contributions to the Scholastic Book Fair during our Champion Conversations last week. Due to the purchases made on both nights, we have received a fantastic reward of £961.22 towards new books for our school. This is an amazing opportunity that allows us to develop the reading books and clan libraries across our school. A massive thank you to all for giving Calderwood this fantastic opportunity. We are so excited about the impact this will have on reading across our school community!
Our Rewards
As a school, we are going to investigate and collect data on how our reward money should be spent. Our literacy champions team will work collaboratively with pupils across the school to gain pupils’ and champions’ views on what reading texts and reading genres we would all like to see as part of our learning. We are excited to update you on our journey with this!
Awaiting Orders
We are aware many of the books at the book fair had to be ordered in from Scholastic. We are still waiting on many of the orders to arrive. As soon as these arrive, all orders will be handed out to the pupils in school. We appreciate your patience with this.

This will be held in the discovery den where a selection of fiction and non-fiction books will be on offer. All pupils will get the chance to visit the book fair with their clan during the school day between Monday-Wednesday. This is an opportunity for the pupils to explore and browse the different books that are available. All books can be purchased during our Champion Meetings in school on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th September.
Important Information
- Books can only be purchased on the evening of our Champion Meetings.
- The book fair will be held in our discovery den.
- Books should be paid for online by scanning the QR code at the Book Fair. You should complete the online payment system and show your receipt to the champions hosting the fair.
- If a book has sold out or is unavailable, extra copies can be ordered and paid for on the night of the book fair. These will then be delivered to the school and handed out to the pupils.
- Pupils will get the chance to browse the books before the Champion Meetings and let you know of any books they like.
How does the book fair help Calderwood?
