World Book Day

Posted on March 18, 2011 by User deactivated

All S1 classes have been taken off timetable for one week to celebrate World Book Day. Every class has selected a theme and their aim is to create an attractive and informative wall display for the department. The displays will then be judged by our Head Teacher, Mr Somerville, and the winners will receive a book related prize!

Some of the ideas this year have been fantastic!

Our Favourite Books
Heroes and Villains
The World of Roald Dahl
Boys vs. Girls
Fairytales

and more!

Take a look at our English Department Blog for more information and why not have fun exploring the WBD Website:

State of Emergency

Posted on November 17, 2010 by User deactivated

State of Emergency is a dynamic, interactive, cross curricular experience for S2 pupils delivered by Visible Fictions via Glow. Clyde Valley High school is one of only eight schools in Scotland chosen to take part in this exciting new project!

So what’s it all about?
We are faced with images of war in the media everyday but do we take the time to understand why conflict happens? With so many opposing views and situations to take into account, trying to make sense of it is daunting.

State of Emergency will begin to tackle these dilemmas using theatre arts to bring the stories of war to life. Via Glow, pupils will watch live online ‘webisodes’ which will they will use to explore and debate the issues surrounding war.

State of Emergency will address big questions, many of which there will be no answer to, but the journey of trying to make sense of our world will be both insightful and exciting.
