Today is World Book Day – a day we always celebrate. There are lots of fun activities on the Teams pages. We are very excited to launch the Taylor version of “The Masked Reader” – see if you can guess who is reading the book ! We can’t wait to share this with you ! Please find attached your World Book Day token. These can be exchanged for one of the £1 WBD books which are available in the Supermarkets or you can use it as part payment for any other book. Normally we would distribute these in school. Have fun and happy reading !!!!!
We are delighted to welcome back Mrs Alison Rooney to the faculty. Mrs Rooney has returned following a lengthy illness, we wish are well and are very glad to have her back with us. Mrs Rooney will be delivering both English and Spanish when our young people return.
We are also delighted to welcome Mrs Frances Fraser to the department. Mrs Fraser will be working in the English Department and we are delighted to have her on board. Mrs Fraser looks forward to meeting pupils and parents and getting to know the wonderful community that is Taylor High School.
This Thursday is World Book Day and although we are not in school we intend to celebrate this day with some fun activities for S1-2 which will remind us ALL why we love reading !
Watch this space !
We have invited some students into school to give them an opportunity to practise their Spanish speaking with one of the Spanish teachers. Teachers will also post reminders on their MS Teams pages. This is a great opportunity to improve your skills before the assessment. Please make the most of this chance by coming with your materials and in full school uniform. We can’t wait to see you !
