Book Week Scotland 2021

 

Book Week Scotland ran from 15 - 21 November this year and we celebrated in many different ways.

Drop Everything and Listen 

Classes were encouraged to listen to stories in class throughout the week - some classes listened to subject-specific stories, others just dropped everything in class and listened to other fantastic stories (including a rendition of The Gruffalo in Scots in the Library).

Lest We Forget

This week our non-fiction November display table features books about World War I, to help us mark Remembrance Day today.

We also enjoyed a visit from our senior students selling poppies.

Dyslexia Awareness Week 2021

 We celebrated Dyslexia Awareness Week last week with a presentation in the Library for the S1 and S2s. The whole school was also able to participate in the Wordsearch competition, and well done to Morgan in S2 who won the prize. 

Special mention also goes to those students who tried the fiendishly difficult wordsearch too!

Don't forget that we have many dyslexia friendly books in the Library - just ask Mrs Lumsden. You can also check out the Dyslexia Scotland site for young people: Dyslexia Unwrapped

As you are no doubt aware, COP26 is happening in Glasgow this week. If you would like more information about climate change, why not borrow one of these books from the Library? Or you could read some 'cli-fi' (climate fiction).

This Sway presentation also gives some more information:
