Forfar Academy Library

2024 Wrapped! 🎁 Imagine if school libraries didn’t exist? #SchoolLibrariesAreEssential @SeanJMcNamara1 @GGallerina @scottishbktrust @MaddiesOnline @ForAcad

First issues of the new school year 📚 Welcome back, Forfar Academy!

Our research, supported by @twinklresources, shows that the reading for pleasure crisis persists. When fewer than 1 in 3 children enjoy reading and daily reading habits decline - it’s time for urgent, collective action. Let's #GrowAGenerationOfReaders: literacytrust.org.uk/reading-for-pl…

@ForAcad @scottishbktrust Our May Reader of the Month is Lucy 🎉 Lucy always demonstrates a dedication to reading and is an enthusiastic participant in all the lunchtime library clubs 📚 #ForfarAcademyReadingSchools @ForAcad

@ForAcad @scottishbktrust Our April Reader of the Month is a Special Edition! 🥳 It was awarded to Logan for his outstanding contribution to running Craft Club with such confidence & all of the work he puts in (including researching different crafts!) to make sure all participants can take part 🧶

Our first 2025 Reader of the Month is Gabriel! 🥳 He borrowed and read 34 books in January and is the biggest One Piece fan that Miss Grey has ever met. Well done, Gabriel! 🙌🏼 #ForfarAcademyReadingSchool @ForAcad

All set for our P7 Parents’/Carers’ Evening 📚

Thank you for the beautiful book, @readingagency, @wwf_uk, and @johnmurrays 🌊 🐋 🩵

Such a rewarding library period with one of our hub classes this morning using Story Deck to discuss favourite genres and emotional responses. Topics covered: Pride Month, happy dogs, explosions, feeling sad, asking for help, and calm forests 🌳 #ForfarAcademyReadingSchool

Definitely going to explore and why not(?!) implement GenAISiS workshops in my school library 👍

🗺️ Intrepid explorers from our Senior Hub were brave enough to tackle the Genre Jungle Library Quest today 🧭

This has been such a valuable experience for us at Forfar Academy. The pupils working on the project have loved every second and learnt so much. We’re really looking forward to the workshop! 💻 @AngusCouncil @ForAcad rgu.ac.uk/news/news-2025…
