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 !

Well done to all pupils who are completing the activities set each week! Your work is very impressive!

This week, pupils will do some more reading practice. Pupils should complete next reading in the booklet on edmodo and glow. Pupils are also looking at radical changing verbs this week, and should complete the gap fill and the first verb exercise. Thank you for all your hard work and have a good week!

S3 are continuing to work on the healthy lifestyle topic. Many thanks to everyone for sending such great work to us – well done!

This week, S3 are creating answers to questions relating to healthy lifestyle in Spanish. All materials are available on glow and edmodo. Please ask your teacher if you have any questions about this task, and send your work to your teacher by Friday. Many thanks and have a great week!

S2 have completed the helping in the house/hobbies topic and have produced some great pieces of work! Many thanks to everyone! Pupils completed a McDonalds Meal Task and some of the fantastic work is below!

This week S2 will go on virtual holiday to Sevilla in Spain! Pupils should copy new vocabulary and answer the questions. Pupils will also plan a trip to Sevilla, including flights, places to stay and tourist attractions.

All materials are on glow and edmodo and please send your work to your teacher by Friday! Thank you and have a great week!
