We really enjoyed exploring the books & costumes in our Scottish Superheroes topic box from @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social #antoIDL #antoliteracy 👫📚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🛡️🪓👫

2 weeks ago primary 1 put in a request for their favourite books and then today Maggie from Library Services came to visit us with a special delivery!

Thanks to @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social for their support to improve our P7 class libraries this week. We are looking forward to working with you on our new school library project. 📘📚#wpschallenge #wpscuriosity

A huge thank you to Yvonne Manning @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social for inspiring us to share a love of reading for enjoyment in our classrooms and for sharing the positive impact that this can have on our learners. 📚📖🫶🏼

I'm part of the fabulous Teacher Book Group organised by @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social and here are our recommendations from the books we read last year!

Scholastic are offering live read and draw along events with children's authors. Three of these would be suitable for children in the ELC if anyone is wanting to try them 😊. Please see links below.

C was keen to try some of the Viking resources from @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social #thestjoesstory

A box of books arrived from @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social and it contained a huge variety of fiction and non fiction, with something that appealed to everyone! We have selected a book which we can bring home for reading for pleasure.

Can you tell your adult about the book you selected? 📚

This morning we introduced our Lending Library. We have kindly been sent a variety of books from @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social ranging from picture books to novels. Every Friday we will now exchange our book for a new one and will have the opportunity to recommend to our friends. 📚#LaurReads

Thank you 😊

I loved being part of this Boog Group a few years ago! I really encourage everyone to join! 📚

Welcome back to school everyone. We here for all your bookish (and other resource) needs.

Text from The Guardian reads '‘One kid at a time’: How children’s books on male friendship could combat toxic masculinity From Margaret McDonald’s Glasgow Boys to Nathanael Lessore’s King of Nothing, boys take centre stage in this year’s Carnegie-winning titles. Let’s hope that the male protagonists persuade more boys to pick up a book'

📚 “One kid at a time, one school at a time” – books that explore male friendship are sparking change, tackling the rise of toxic influences like the "manosphere"

Celebrate the #Carnegies2025 winners, and how they offer boys richer, more emotional stories

Returns time!
