Book Group - Burns Night

The junior book group celebrated Burns' Night on 25 January with a piece of shortbread and wee drop of Irn-Bru.

Advent Count Down - Book 5 and 6

I am going to cheat and recommend two books this time. Sarah Crossan is an amazing writer and writes incredible stories in free verse. "One" is the story of conjoined twins and "Moonrise" is about the effect that going to jail for a criminal act can have on the rest of the family. Both books are just simply beautifully written. Loved them but both are emotional reads so you might need a box of tissues to hand!
