ENGLISH DEPARTMENT COMPETITION
Are you the next Hemingway? Or Dahl? Or Shakespeare? The English Department are launching a climate writing competition, in line with COP26. It is open to all pupils, and winners will be announced under the following categories: S1/2, S3/4, and S5/6. The task? To create a written response to an image of our environment. This can take any form but there is one rule: it must be exactly 50 words! Only one entry per person. Email submissions to Mrs Burns (NLBurnsM3@northlan.org.uk) by the deadline of Tuesday 2nd November at 11:59pm. Don’t forget to add your name and year group. Winner will be announced on Friday 5th November. We’re excited to see what Greenfaulds can produce. Good luck!

S1 and S2 ROYAL NAVY WORKSHOPS
- Next week the Royal Navy are delivering fun teambuilding workshops for S1 and S2 students.
- This is a great opportunity for the students to develop new skills and to challenge themselves.
- It’s also a chance to take part in activities that have been restricted because of Covid-19.
- This means S1 and S2 students will need their outdoor PE kit on the day they take part in the workshops. They will get changed in school.
- The timetable below shows when the students are taking part (there is one change from the letter issued to parents and guardians).

ADVANCED HIGHER GEOGRAPHY
S6 Geographers have participated in a wide range of fieldwork experiences over the last few weeks as part of their Advanced Higher course. They have investigated river, beach and soil environments and microclimates to develop their knowledge of Physical Geography fieldwork techniques. They have also completed rural and urban land use mapping; traffic surveys; pedestrian counts and environmental quality surveys to enhance their experience of using Human Geography fieldwork techniques. This knowledge will be further developed as part of their folio and used in exams.
For further updates on what’s happening in Geography, please see our departmental Twitter page @GeoGreenfaulds.
