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

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.
