THS Languages

This week S1 are working on their Individual Presentation using “Talking Milestones.”  The materials can be found on MS Teams by clicking on the files tab.  Pupils should work through the slides until they have produced their talk cards (most pupils have been given 3 cards for this if not use cut up pieces of paper.)  Once pupils have prepared their presentation they should practise it in preparation or assessment  when they return.

Pupil should also be engaging in 15 minutes of  private reading for pleasure every day.

As the holidays commence I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday and to thank eveyone for their commitment and patience during a very strange academic session.  We have all had to adapt very quickly and I have been so impressed with our young people and their commitment to learning and to our school community; they have done themselves, their families and our school community very proud.  Thank you to them for making our job so much easier.

We are very much  looking forward to seeing our young people again in August and kicking off academic session 2020-21. In the mean time, on behalf of the faculty, I wish to thank you all and we hope you have a happy, safe (and sunny) holiday !

Mrs Burton.
