World Book Day

 

                                                                             


This year World Book Day is  on Thursday 7th March. There are lots of activities going on around the school to celebrate the joy of reading for pleasure.

 The theme for the day is 'Read your way'. There will be the opportunity to do this when the school holds a DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) session on Friday 8th March during period 2. Make sure you have something to read at that time. You can always come along to the Library in Room F21 to borrow a book, be it fiction, non-fiction, graphic novel, manga or comic book.

There will be a decorate the classroom door competition for staff, the theme is your favourite childhood book. Look out for lots of fun ideas and maybe help create a colourful/funny/unusual book visual.

The English department will be having World Book Day challenges for students in the classrooms.

The Library has a display of books set in different countries, so you can 'read your way around the world. If you would like to borrow one of these books, or indeed any book for the DEAR session please come along to the Library in room F21 where Mrs Aitken will be happy yo help you choose something to read 'your way'.




Remember to collect your WBD £1 token from your English teacher, to swap for one of the books issued specially for World Book Day.











Valentine's Day



 Love is in the air as February 14th approaches. If you need a little romance in your life, why not visit the Library (F21) and check out the displays of pink and fluffy romance novels?

 If romance is not your thing then Mrs Aitken is happy to recommend other fiction genres that may be of more interest to you. 

Remember there is a week long half-term holiday coming up and you might want to stock up on some reading material in case the weather continues to be inclement!!

Christmas in the Library

 The tree is decorated and lit up, the decorations are out and there are Christmas themed books on display for you to borrow. 

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! 

If you need some books to read over the festive period any books borrowed from the Library will not be due back until the 10th of January 2024.
