Reading for the Easter Holidays

                                Lauren Oliver: Replica

Yes we have chosen another dystopian novel to read. This time a tale told from two different perspectives. All our library copies are out but if you can get your own copy please come and join us at lunch on the first Wed back in the summer term.

Carnegie Short List announced.

We will be reading from the Carnegie shortlist for the rest of this term. Keen readers may want to try and read all 8 Carnegie titles by the summer but most of the Book Group will read a couple of titles each and report back to the group.

World Book Day

A week late but we celebrated World book Day in style.

  Well done to all the teachers who dressed up, to all those who decorated their doors, to the staff and pupils who competed against each other in the quiz and to all the first years who showed off their excellent book knowledge in the S1 quiz. Here are just a few pictures from our events.

Scottish Teenage Book Prize Winner

Our book group were delighted to learn that the winner is Children of Icarus by Caighlan Smith. 

It topped our voting chart and we are now excitedly waiting for the follow up.

Our pupils liked the mysterious main character- with no name. An original dystopian novel. And we have chosen to read another dystopian book for next term. More to follow...
