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.

On Friday 10th November, pupils from 1M1, 1F1 and 1C1 geography classes got the chance to go to Amazonia at Strathclyde Park as part of their Brazil unit.

There, they got to experience the climate of the rainforest, and see and handle some of the animals that call the rainforest their home.

A great time was had by all the pupils and other S1 classes will get a chance to go soon!

Well done to S3 pupils Sophie, Emily, Ellie and Teigan who successfully completed the Fire Reach programme last week. The girls were a credit to themselves, their families and the school.

S3 English had a fabulous time at the Alhambra Theatre seeing ‘Blood Brothers’:

Pupils in one of our S2 classes at Airdrie Academy joined in with 4901 other classes, all over Scotland, to compete in a sumdog competition to celebrate Maths Week. The pupils each had to answer 1000 question correctly, whilst playing interactive games. The winning class was determined by a class average.

We came an amazing 2^nd out of 4901 class, with pupil Ryan Eckersley personally coming 10th out of 55,186 pupils taking part. All the pupils thoroughly enjoyed it and are asking when they can do it again.

Congratulations to all of you!
