Today is the big day for the S1 Kahoot Quiz ! I have posted the link and the PIN on both MS Teams and Edmodo. Well done to all who have completed this and many thanks to those who messaged us to say they had enjoyed it ! You have until Sunday to take part in this quiz.
Think we will have another one before the end of term !
Please find attached a list of online resources which have been provided by the school librarians. Some of these are already on the list on the blog but some of them are not so it’s well worth a look, especially if you are looking for reading materials over the Summer holiday.

Languages Faculty MS Teams Codes
Please note we are moving from Edmodo to MS Teams. For the next (and last week) we will post on both platforms, however from August we will only be using MS Teams.
Pupils are encouraged to join the appropriate MS Team today to give them time to become familiar with MS Teams. Codes are attached to this message, pupils can access them by clicking the underlined text at the top of this post.
Codes are set up in new year groups, therefore anyone who was in S1 before lockdown would now join the S2 Team.
S1 are continuing to work at developing their knowledge and skills on grammar and punctuation. We are planning a Kahoot quiz later in the week which will consolidate all of their learning so far. Pupils can revise by acessing the teaching materials for Days 1-10 on Edmodo.
Those working towards N5 in 2021 are continuing their work on ‘Sailmaker” by Alan Spence. They are working on character, using any information from the reading of Act 1 and documenting and organising this information on character visualisers. Pupils are encouraged to be as creative as they can with their visualisers – using colour, images etc. Pupils will then move on to think about the Themes which are evident in Act 1.
Those working towards Higher in 2021 are working on punctuation this week as we wok to revise language and build their knowledge for next session.
S2 should be working on a novel/non-fiction book of their choice. Pupils are reminded they should have indicated which text they are working on by now.
This week Miss MacPhail’s S2 class are working on “Tense” and “Apostrophes.” Last week’s Kahoot quiz was a great success. Pupils are working toward another before the end of term to help them consolidate their learning and have some fun together !
This week Miss MacPhail’s S2 class are finishing up their work on prepositions before moving on to possessive pronouns, then antonyms and synonyms. On Friday there will be a quiz covering what we have learned so far !
This group are working through Section 2 of the “Higher Language” text book. This work helps them to build on the Knowledge About Language they developed at National 5, revising many of the techniques they have already encountered. It also introduces new language techniques which they will need to know for Higher.
