This is the reading podcast from St Ninian's High School in Kirkintilloch, where you can hear Mrs McCarthy and Ms McLean chat about all things books, reading and stories. This month we mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Miss Agnew joins us to talk about the importance of sharing stories to mark the day in school, and we discuss the wonderful <em>After the War</em> by Tom Palmer, which explores the impact of the Holocaust in the true story of three Jewish refugees who spent time in the Lake District after the end of the Second World War. Mrs Marini from the ELR chats about her favourite books, and we get to share some fabulous six-word short stories from some very talented S3 pupils.</p><br><p>With thanks to the Scottish Book Trust and Creative Classrooms funding.
