Author Visit
Students from S2 and S3 were lucky enough to be chosen to attend the talk by author Saci Lloyd who is visiting schools as part of the Scottish Book Trust's Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour. Saci (pronounced Satchi) is author of three books for teenagers. The books are: The carbon diaries 2015, The carbon diaries 2017 and Momentum. Saci entertained us with readings from her book Momentum and got students to help her create a thriller based on various images that she showed. There was then a question and answer session and the students had lots and lots of really interesting questions to ask. Saci answered them all comprehensively and then signed books and posters and posed for photos. All-in-all an extremely interesting, informative and entertaining visit. Many thanks to all who were involved.

The waiting is over
At long last the 23rd March has arrived and we can all go to the cinema to see 'The hunger games'! If you have already read the book(s) why not write a review for the blog letting everyone know whether or not the film is as good as the book. I REALLY enjoyed the first book but thought that the second and third did not live up to expectations.
