Remembrance Day

As well as observing silence at 11am throughout the school, this year we marked Remembrance Day with a display of war poetry and books in the Library and library lessons on Tom Palmer's new novel, Resist.

Non-Fiction November

This month is Non-Fiction November and we are celebrating all non-fiction books! Check out the display in the library. 

We also discussed some more of the Royal Society Young People's Book Prize books at Book Group.

Wizardry event at Armadale Academy

What better way to celebrate Hallowe'en than the inaugural Induction of the Armadale Academy of Magic and Wizardry? 

Thank you to all my pupil and staff helpers, especially Madame Divers with her fabulous cakes and Professor Russell's Divination sessions. 

Family Learning - Literacy

It was great to meet parents and students at our Family Learning event on 2 November. I was able to talk about two of my most favourite things: books and reading for pleasure!

Here's a link to the Sway presentation and the suggested reads: 

Armadale Academy Library Suggested Reads (S1 & S2)

This list is far from exhaustive; it includes the most popular books in the Library, prize winning books and there are no doubt hundreds more I would like to add!

Dyslexia Awareness Week

 Dyslexia Awareness Week Scotland runs from 31 October to 6 November 2022. We have many dyslexia friendly books in the Library - just ask Mrs Lumsden for some recommendations. 

There are also plenty of other dyslexia friendly resources, including books in our staff section.
