@StNiniansLib @JohnstoneHighSc @johnstone_eng Thank you! I was amazed by their creativity. This was all their idea!

[JohnstoneHighSc_Library @JohnstoneHSLib]

Our #ValentinesDay display explores books that are compatible... we've suggested what pupils might like based on some of our most popular titles 💕

We've also been asking pupils to create 🌹 for their favourite book characters as decorations!

Just in, 2S2 boys have officially rated @footieheroesbks players after an animated discussion (favourite TL through to less favourite BR) ⚽️

Parents @JohnstoneHighSc if you have a kid who loves footie, this series is brilliant for encouraging them to read 📖

I am hoping this film - commissioned by @Literacy_Trust - will be useful in helping young people think and maybe write about #HolocaustMemorialDay and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz later this month.

We have started building our @JohnstoneHighSc Book Character Top Trumps deck.

It's a bit nuts just now with Saka from @footieheroesbks beating Severus Snape in magic 🤣

"But he's magic with the ball Miss"

Looking forward to our deck steadily growing @johnstone_eng
