All years	NEW 1st Minister’s Reading Challenge. December’s challenge starts today … At any point during December – including the holidays - we are inviting pupils to email the school office with a photo of themselves reading either a Christmas themed book – or wearing something festive!  Include a bit of detail as to what you are reading and send it to admin@jamesgillespies.edin.sch.uk The photos will go on display in the library and there will be certificates and prizes in the new year.  Speak to Ms Brown in the library or Mrs Fairhurst in 1.25 for more details.  You will also find 1st Minister’s Reading Challenge book shelf recommendation cards in the library to slot into any really good reads you come across this year.  Environment and Sustainability Group Interested in the environment and sustainability? - Join the pupil group in room 233 on Wednesday lunchtimes. All ideas and conversation welcome. Right now we are looking to upcycle old textbooks into Christmas decorations.
