Russian Letter Exchange

Miss Craig is looking for pupils from every year to take part in a letter exchange with students from St Petersburg.

This is part of a programme which will not only help the Russian pupils to improve their use of the English language but will also act as a fantastic opportunity for you to make new and interesting friends in a different country, share things about yourself and your culture and maybe learn a little Russian along the way!

You can choose to email or send letters for your discussions and would be a fantastic opportunity to access a different culture!

We already have a number of pupils interested and would love to get even more, particularly from the older years.

If anyone is interested can please get in touch with Miss Craig.

Trailer: Say my Name by James Dawson

Top marks to Jordyn and Jordan in Mrs Mackintosh’s S2 English class for winning first place in the book trailer competition at the Grampian Children’s Book Award. They created a book trailer for shortlisted book Say my Name by James Dawson.

A lively awards ceremony led by award winning Cathy MacPhail and a panel of 3 of the shortlisted authors (James Dawson, Dave Cousins and Kevin Brooks) kept school pupils from across the region enthralled and entertained at the event at Aberdeen University. Author James Dawson was pronounced 2015 winner to great applause.
