S3 Geography – Model Towns
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.

Edinburgh Book Festival
On Monday, 31 August S2 and S3 pupils visited the Edinburgh Book Festival to hear author Matt Whyman talk about his books and what inspired him.
Pupils had the opportunity to browse in the bookshop and have their lunch in beautiful (and sunny) gardens within the Book Festival grounds, before taking their front row seats in the auditorium. Many pupils bought Matt Whyman’s books and got them signed by him at the end of his session.
Here are some views from the pupils:
‘I really enjoyed the experience. Everyone was really friendly and always had a smile on their face.’
‘The Edinburgh Book Festival was brilliant.’
‘I loved hearing about Matt Whyman’s book, especially ‘The Savages’ because it sounds very good.
Edinburgh Book Festival
Good luck to our S2 and S3 students who will attend the Edinburgh Book Festival on Monday, 31st August.
We hope you have a great time.
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.
S3 & S4 Information Evening – 2nd Sept
The Information Evening for S3/4 parents on Tuesday gave a useful introduction to the new National Qualifications that their sons/daughters are sitting this year.
Feedback was positive and the parents felt they had a better picture of what would be involved for the young people.
There was a lot of information given and the presentations and handouts can be found on the website under ‘New National Qualifications, information for parents’. A number of useful websites have been highlighted in the presentations.
Thanks to all who attended and offered their feedback on the night. If you have further questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
