S3 pupils created model towns from Lego to show the growth and structure of cities – all demonstrated a very good understanding of the different land use zones within cities and how these are changing.
A reminder that all S1 and S2 pupils will rotate between History and Geography after the October break.
Can you help? If anyone is off on a break over the October week could you send us a postcard!
We use these to help decorate our large wall maps and with our Travel and Tourism classes.

S1 pupils have been creating fabulous models as part of their first piece of homework. They were given the brief to create a model of anything with a link to geography and with their name in it. The imagination and hard work by all the pupils – and helpful mums, dads, carers, grans and papas was outstanding. We are looking forward to another set arriving in the second term when the pupils have rotated to their other social subject.

Our first Premiership visit of the session saw a first visit to Old Trafford to see the mighty Manchester United take on Stoke City.
Although they looked the superior team on paper and had the home advantage – and much of the pressure and more of the chances! – they failed to capitalise on this and Stoke came away with a 1-1 draw.
Our seats gave a great view of the goal-mouth action.
The 45 pupils still had a great time and represented the school and themselves superbly. This contributed to making it a great experience for the 4 staff accompanying them.
Well done to all!

Do you enjoy your job? Would you like to help advise and inspire our pupils in achieving their dream job or career?
If so, we would be delighted if you could be part of our Careers Fair.
We already have a number of representatives from Further and Higher Education attending, in addition to representatives from some national companies.
However, we would also love to have parents, carers or wider family members representing a variety of jobs on hand to answer questions from pupils.
If you would like to be part of this exciting event please contact Suzanne Wallace in the Pupil Support Department.
