S2 STORYTELLING

Wednesday, 28th of March saw the finale of our seven week Storyteller project.  Twenty of our S2 pupils have been involved in this initiative, which has been supported by Pupil Equity Funding, and is part of our drive to improve Literacy levels across the Broad General Education phase of the school.  Pupils have worked with Storyteller, Bea Ferguson, who has led them through the process of creating their own stories and developing their public speaking skills.  At an afternoon tea for friends and family, pupils regaled an audience, which also included Primary 7 pupils from Muir Street Primary and residents from Baillie Court.  Our S5/6 Hospitality class provided home baking and did a fantastic job of ensuring that our guests were well looked after throughout the afternoon.  We are always proud of our pupils, but watching this S2 group rise to the challenge and deliver engaging, original stories was a special end of term treat.
