Just some of the books S1 read in their readathon for @ReadforGoodUK last term. They raised £115 for this fantastic charity! 1D, one of you will be receiving a special prize for your effort. Well done to everyone who took part 📚

S3 loved ending the year reading The Crossover by @kwamealexander. Look at the writing it inspired! Hope it brings @andy_murray some luck today. #Wimbledon

Finally getting round to awarding prizes for S1 writing and World Book Day. Well done, Jagoda and Callum! We were able to award book tokens due to the efforts of our pupils in a previous Readathon and the First Minister's Reading Challenge 👏

Exciting delivery today. P7s, we're getting ready to welcome you into our book-loving school in August. We can't wait to challenge you to a Readathon. Reading and raising money for a good cause 📚🥰

While our Chromebooks are fantastic, and we couldn't have managed without them this past year, nothing beats writing with a pencil. Or a bit of semi-colon love. ; = 💗 We're sure @BannermanHigh and @CHSEngDept will agree.

Just one of the many, many reasons schools need librarians. Instilling a love of reading in children is so important, & a huge part of that is opening the door to books they would never know existed otherwise. Great booklist, thanks Lucas 👍🏻

[TRA English and Literacy @TraEnglish]

Prizes will be awarded in August. See the @TRAofficial Facebook page for a list of pupils whose work was highly commended. Have a great summer, everyone.
