This week S3 are continuing to work on their Persuasive Writing unit. They will analyse an example of a persuasive speech and begin planning and writing their own letter to the Prime Minister, or an addressee of their choice, on issues that are damaging our environment. Pupils should draw upon any solutions to current environmental issues and include their own research. The Powerpoint can be found in Class Materials on MS Teams.

Burns Day
Today is Burns Day, the day we celebrate the work of the National Bard, 262 years after his birth. Unfortunately we cannot celebrate the way we normally would however we have asked students in S1-2 to undertake a short research task today just to mark the day. We wish everyone has a lovely day and hopefully we will be able to celebrate again next year. Burns’ famous words from “To a Mouse” have never seemed so apt. “The best laid schemes o’ mice and men gang aft agley”. Stay safe everyone !
Mrs Burton’s N5 English Class
This week we will be starting Act 2 of the play “Sailmaker.” During the double period we will listen to the play while following it on the PDF. Any student who cannot join the Live Lesson will find the links in Files on MS Teams to allow them to listen to Act 2 and also to follow on the text.
