Social Studies Non-Fiction Book Reviews

Mrs Witonski's S2 Social Studies class have been working on a project in the Library. 

The students were asked to choose a non-fiction book from the shelves in the library to read. They then produced these marvellous review posters on the computers based on their reviews of the books. You can see copies of the posters in the library, and all the books are available to borrow.

 We had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day on 8th March this year. We started the excitement by handing out book tokens and free books in the library. Our World Book Day Competition was launched and most of the S1 and S2 pupils participated. (The winner is yet to be announced).

On the day, registration classes all took part in a 'drop everything and listen' session where pupils listened to a story chosen by their teacher. Staff and pupils were also welcomed to join the reading lunch in the library at lunchtime.

Mrs Lumsden was over the moon to receive one of the fabulous T-shirts designed by Mrs Wilks, Head of English.

Armadale Academy of Magic Event

 

We held an Armadale Academy of Magic event just before the mid-term break for all our Harry Potter and fantasy fans. As they entered the library, our young wizards and witches were sorted into their respective houses before creating their own wands at Ollivander's.

 The students also enjoyed some magical candy from Honeyduke's Sweet Shop. 

Students then participated in a spirited wizard duel on behalf of their Houses, with 'Professor McKay' proving himself to be a distinguished and impartial judge!

Manga Takeover Day

 There are many, many Manga fans here at Armadale Academy, who were delighted to see the new titles added to the Library. 

However, Book Group weren't too happy when their Thursday session was hijacked!
