On the 31^st of October, 2 teams represented Airdrie Academy at the West of Scotland Heat of the Kids Lit Quiz.

The Kids Lit Quiz is an annual global literature quiz with the winning team from each heat competing in a National Final. National champions then compete in the World Final.

Both teams worked very hard to prepare for the event and did exceptionally well on the day. In fact, our first team came out top of all the North Lanarkshire Schools entered.

Although we didn’t make the top three, the final result was very close and all pupils did win prizes for getting top scores in individual rounds. Pupils also had the pleasure of meeting and having books signed by visiting authors Cathy MacPhail, Elizabeth Wein and Alex McCall.

The day was a fabulous celebration of books and reading and the pupils were a credit to the school.
