We are pleased to announce that we have two Book Clubs up and running this year:-
P7 meet on Tuesday at 1pm in the Library
P5 and P6 meet on Thursday at 1pm in the Library.
Our remit is to read all three of the books shortlisted for the Scottish Children's Book Awards:-
1) The Nowhere Emporium by Ross Mackenzie
2) The Fastest Boy in the World by Elizabeth Laird
3) The Mysteries of Ravenstorm Island: The Lost Children by Gillian Philip
The first of our Book Group discussions will be this Tuesday, 10th November 2015 when P7 will be debating the merits of The Nowhere Emporium. We're looking forward to an interesting and informative exchange of views.
We'll let you know how it goes and we might even get round to posting some of our reviews of this book.
The fund-raising for the refurbishment of our library has been fantastic and we would like to say a special thanks to everyone involved. We would also like to thank you for your continued support at our Scholastic Book Fair - this year we received £1000 in commission which will go towards lovely new books for the library.
Book Week Scotland is fast approaching and P7 will be having fun reading the Bookbug books with their P1 buddies. We are also hoping P5 will read with their friends in P2. There are many events taking place in libraries throughout the city so why not browse the website and find something interesting for the family to visit together. You can find more details at the website for Scottish Book Trust:-

We hope you continue to read for pleasure. Please let us know your favourites and if you need a recommendation, then just drop us a line.
Happy reading
Your friendly Book Club readers.
Here are some pictures of P7 engrossed in their reading.
