Braes High School Library

Thank you so much for inviting us to the grand opening of your new library @wallacestoneps.bsky.social
T, K and M were all involved in the planning of this way back when they were in P7 and they really enjoyed seeing how it all panned out. Such a beautiful and cosy reading space!

S5s T&D and I are over the moon that every Thursday this term we are paired reading with nursery children from Glenbervie Nursery. I kicked things off with the book we’re going to be reading at the next @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social Book Group…it got a great response! #bepartofit

I’ve just solved this! Oooft! However, I think I’m a day late and a dollar short to be recruited by GCHQ 😂

Find yourself Pupil Library Assistants who can create this kind of fabulous entry for the @braeshighschool.bsky.social Christmas Door Comp!

(Also yes, we were determined to include Die Hard by hook or by crook)

GCHQ releases annual Christmas Challenge 2025 with puzzles designed by schoolchildren and spies To mark a decade of festive puzzles, our in-house puzzlers have masterminded seven fiendish brainteasers and teamed up with schoolchildren on three festive designs

Pop into the Library for hard copies of the GCHQ Christmas Challenge 2025!

Thank you mystery @braeshighschool.bsky.social Christmas elf for my bookish advent calendar. I don’t know who you are but I love this!

This is a really engaging read about a daughter and her toxic mother!

This looks very interesting!

Our overall winner of our book hero comp was I who chose Katniss Everdeen! The Reading Ambassadors judged that her reasons were thorough and convincing!

We chose to celebrate #bookweekscotland with a comp to find out the book heroes of @braeshighschool.bsky.social Looking for a book hero is a great way to read for #empathy! We gave prizes for the most convincing reasons!

Thank you to EVERYONE that supported our book fair! Total takings are TBC but we know we sold more than £500 of books, so we've earned more than £200 of free books for our school. Just wow! Massive thank you also to all the Reading Ambassadors that helped run the fair

#BookWeekScotland kicks off on Sunday and it seems like a good time to kick off our brand new Staff Reads Project!

This is open to all @braeshighschool.bsky.social staff - click here to sign up forms.office.com/e/FqXbNbQerU

Delighted to say that the book fair is going like a...fair! @braeshighschool.bsky.social staff and students still have til Tuesday to pop in and pick up one of those books everyone is talking about!

Inspired by The Traitors, #wordsforwellbeing today focussed on unreliable narrators. I kicked things off by reading a bit of a golden oldie, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. A joy to introduce this classic book to a new generation of readers!

New display to celebrate #TransgenderAwarenessMonth

This year, rather than just one S2 class participating in RED, we have offered it up to all S2 as an elective. We met for the first time last week and I introduced the shortlist to much enthusiasm!

Thank you T for baking these incredible ginger biscuits for Books and Bakes. The cookies and my sponge cakes were gone in seconds! Also I managed to have time to read my own book too. Absolute win! #ReadingSchool

One week til our BOOK FAIR!

I really do have the best bookgroup! Not so much words for wellbeing today rather than words to unsettle...taking turns to share favourite ghost stories. D&J told us The Tell Tale Heart, , J told The Girl With The Green Ribbon, and T,C and P told us their own ghost stories. Terrifying stuff!

Today the Library is being staffed by Shy Guy and Mr Mcintosh’s S1 classes have been chilled to the bone with these ghost stories…
