Whether it's your birthday or an occasion to celebrate something, may we offer you our #wordoftheweek.😊 It comes from the verb felicitate, which means 'congratulate' and has a Latin root, felicitas which means 'happiness'. Have a great week! #words
You might not be a #morning person, but this #poem by Billy Collins may just change your mind. It gives a much more joyful perspective on them! Have a lovely week .🌄 #poetry #RfP #loveyourlibrary #poemoftheweek

Thank you to Mrs Jones and Mrs Reynolds who have curated this year's #Remembrance book display for the @bgs_library. #armistice #LestWeForget #BooksWorthReading
To mark #RemembranceDay2024 , our #poemoftheweek is by Roland Leighton - killed in 1915 before any of his #poems could be published. Plug Street Wood is an #Anglicisation of #Ploegsteert Wood, a quiet sector of the #WesternFront during #WWI . Take time to #reflect on these words.

Welcome back, we hope you had a great half term break! Our first #wordoftheweek come from the Latin, crepusculum, meaning twilight. Crepuscular can also be used to describe animals, insects and plants that are active at dusk and dawn. #welcomeback #words
Today's Book Club discussion ranged from sinister fairy tales to gothic chillers. Mrs Park brought in her copy of Usborne's World of the Unknown: Ghosts, a cult classic for those of a certain vintage! Grab a spooky read before the half term begins... 🎃👻💀
This week's #wordoftheweek dates back to the ancient Celtic festival, Samhain, when the souls of the dead returned home. From the 8th century, Christians observed All Saints Day on 1st Nov, borrowing some Samhain traditions, the 31st Oct becoming All Hallows Eve or Halloween. 🎃
