A group of Higher French pupils from Braidhurst High School took part in a French Immersion Day at the Alliance Francaise in Glasgow last week. They were accompanied by their French assistant, Miss Juliette Lucas, and travelled together by coach from the school. A number of activities were organised for the students in order to improve their linguistic skills of speaking and listening. In addition, they had the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of French culture and current popular French music. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event and were grateful for the opportunity to meet pupils from other schools in the North Lanarkshire area. Overall, the event helped pupils become more confident conversing in the language and enabled them to find out about aspects of life in France which are relevant to their Higher French course syllabus.

P7 SCIENCE MORNING
Ninety nine primary seven pupils from four different primary schools enjoyed a fun morning filled with different scientific experiments at Braidhurst High School. The event involved twenty two sixth year pupils demonstrating, explaining and leading the younger children through the various activities. The primary pupils had a great day with one stating, “I had a brilliant day, it was interesting and the sixth year helpers were great. I would like to do it all again”. This was down to the senior pupils’ excellent communication and organisational skills. Many of the primary pupils commented on the kindness and words of encouragement offered by the S6 pupils.
