Norovirus Advice

1350-noro-whattodo

Norovirus, sometimes known as the winter vomiting bug, is the most common stomach bug in the UK.

The virus is highly contagious. There’s no specific cure for norovirus, so you have to let it run its course. Although having norovirus can be unpleasant, it’s not usually dangerous and most people make a full recovery within a couple of days without having to see their GP.

All pupils from S1 recently took part in the Outdoor Classroom – a three day, school wide IDL project. Part of this time was spent in the technical department where the pupils had to use problem solving strategies while working as part of a team to build a free standing ‘Tower’ from plastic straws and a then a paper ‘Bridge’, which was tested to destruction.

Many of the pupils demonstrated creativity, team work and leadership and communication skills with Skye, Josh, Leia and Adam from 1AL3 coming out on top with a score of 95 points – well done!

Revision Resources for CfE Highers and National 5s

logo

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.
