The National Parent Forum of Scotland – Revision in a Nutshell

The National Parent Forum of Scotland has produced Revision in a Nutshell guides for the new Highers (20 subjects) and updated Revision guides for National 5s (20 subjects).  These revision guides contain direct links to SQA specimen question papers, exemplar question papers plus past question papers, where appropriate.   The guides advise learners to check with their teachers to make sure that material is relevant. The guides are primarily intended to provide the SQA direct links by subject in one place, and to give some additional revision opportunities.

Gymnastics Achievements

Our gymnasts recently took part in the East Renfrewshire heat of the schools competition. We had 3 teams competing;  a level 1 and two level 2 teams.  Each gymnast performs a floor routine and competes at vault.  Although we did not win any medals at the competition the girls had all worked so hard on their skills over the term we awarded them medals for floor, vault and overall at each level based on their scores at the competition.
