On Wednesday 30st of October, two teams represented Airdrie Academy at the West of Scotland Heat of the Kids Lit Quiz held at The High School of Glasgow.
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 very well on the day. Although we didn’t make the top three, the final result was close. Pupils also had the pleasure of meeting Quiz Master Wayne Mills and had the opportunity to purchase a book by visiting authors Elizabeth Wein (Code Name Verity, Black Dove White Raven), Alex Nye (For My Sins), Victoria Gemmell (Follow Me), Lindsay Littleson (Guardians of the Wild Unicorns, The Titanic Detective Agency) and Ross Sayers (Mary’s the Name, Sonny and Me).
The day was a fabulous celebration of books and reading and the pupils were a credit to the school.
