Scholastic Book Fair

 The Scholastic Book Fair has arrived!

The Scholastic Book Fair will be in school from 21st to 25th February 2022, and has over 200 titles with prices starting from only £2.99. Pupils can use their £1 World Book Day token towards the cost of a book priced £2.99 or over.

There is absolutely no obligation to buy from the book fair, and many of the books are available from the school library. 

The books will be on display in the school library, and pupils can create a wish list to take home, noting the title and cost of the book they would like from the Book Fair. Parents and carers can then pay for the book at https://bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/pay Pupils can also use their World Book Day token toward the cost of the order so do not forget to deduct £1. (One token per pupil.)

You can also see a list of the books available by clicking here: http://www.bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/bookcases

Pupils should then return the wish list with the payment reference and a note of the book purchased to the library. The book will be ordered, and delivered to the school to give to the pupil. 

World Book Day

World Book Day 2019

Well done everyone for the huge effort across the school to celebrate World Book Day.

Many of the door displays will be moving into classrooms or to the library. On Friday there were some very impressive answers in the S1 literature quiz.   All books left over from the Book Exchange are now on sale in the library.
 

World Book Day- is it worth it?

Thanks to all the staff who dressed up for World Book Day and to all those who helped decorate doors. Absolutely brilliant. And so great to hear so many pupils talking about the books as they passed us by. Some parents might,  like one of our MSPs query what dressing up has to do with literacy. My argument is that it is only one way in a range of strategies we have for getting pupils talking about books. And my copy of Coraline flew off the shelf within 30 mins of my display going on view on Monday.


Our staff pupil quiz is next on the agenda and finally we have the big S1 quiz tomorrow. WBD vouchers will be given out then.

World Book Day Events: Our Big Book Swap

As part of our World Book Day Celebrations we will be hosting a Book Swap in the library at break and lunch during the week of World Book Day. If you have books (in good condition) which you are finished with then please bring them in to swap. You will be given a token for each book you hand in. These can then be exchanged for another book during the event. We are collecting the books this coming week in the library. 

Any books left at the end of the event will be sold for 50p with money going towards out Wold Book Day Events 2020!
