Knox Academy Library

Thank you to the wonderful @SpareWriter for her visit with us yesterday. Our pupils had a fantastic time practicing some creative writing and learning all about her amazing new book! Thanks also to @Nightowlbooks for facilitating. #Knoxreads

S2 Elective Rota. Fantastic to learn about #Zines with the librarian. Lovely to see our music students being creative in an area of their choice as they help to produce a new zine library @knoxacademy #Ambition #Respect #Community #Creativity #Communication #Confidence

Well done to our competition winners! The theme for the competition was a 50 word winter story. All entries were creative and beautifully written. There are definitely some upcoming bestselling authors in our midst. View some of the fabulous entries below! @knoxacademy #writers

Pop into Knox Academy Library to see the fantastic display created by one of our lovely pupil librarians. It highlights all of the amazing books in our collection that focus on War and Remembrance @knoxacademy #schoollibraries #RemembranceDay

A special day when pupils from @Yester_School @LethamMains @haddington_prim and St Mary’s RC Primary came to hear a wonderful presentation by @stewfoster1 who travelled a very long way to visit us - a hugely enjoyable day! @knoxacademy

Sylvester Magqabaza, who has just finished a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, was welcomed to the school today, where he held a workshop in the Drama Dept and library for pupils who learnt to dance and sing in Xhosa. It was a wonderful experience! @KnoxDrama @knoxacademy

SUMMER GIVEAWAY! TEACHERS! PARENTS! I have this shiny signed copy of my middle grade fantasy, The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams, with a set of cupcake erasers for every pupil & personalised postcards for one lucky class. Retweet & follow by 10pm 20th August! @TinyTreeBooks @AUK_News

Sir Geoff Palmer gave an inspirational talk at our Diversity Evening a few months ago.

We have books, for Pride Month, all available to be borrowed. There's still time to borrow books before the holidays! @knoxacademy @knoxLGBTpride

We’re filming for the Haddstock Knox Music Project today. Not your usual day in the school library! Very exciting and great fun!

It’s nearly #WBD2023 and just maybe we’d be the lucky recipients!

It didn't take long for our eagle-eyed S2 pupils to find the brand-new magazines! @knoxacademy

What a lovely way to celebrate #bookweekscotland - thank you Victoria Williamson @strangelymagic for your entertaining talk. We enjoyed hearing about War of the Winds (available to borrow now from the school library), and learning about wind turbines, BSL and alphabet codes.

Many thanks to Callum who treated us to a solo performance in the library at lunchtime. What a great way to end the school year @knoxacademy

Yes please!

We learnt how to draw Manga from the illustrator of Tsunami Girl! Great drawings from Knox Academy and Meadowpark pupils @knoxacademy

Something to look forward to: Manga Immersion Day (brought to us online by the School Library Association) on Wednesday. If you’re attending the Manga drawing workshop during lunchtime, remember to bring a packed lunch.
