THS Languages

S3 have been working on the healthy living topic. Well done to all who completed the quizzes – fantastic scores! The next quiz is due for Friday, so please complete it by then.

S3 will now start preparing their AVU and all materials needed are on our Edmodo page and our Modern Languages glow page. Please message if you need any help and send your work to your teacher by Monday!

Thank you and have a good week!

Students are working on a variety of tasks, some reading and some language.  We are using this time to revise language knowledge and techniques which will be helpful as we move forward.

Pupils should send their work to their teacher.

For those who have finised the rearch task we have been working on comparing two sources – well done !  Keep your booklets and materials safe and look after your presentation, we will get them assessed when we return.

If you haven’t finished, don’t panic !  Work steadily doing a little every day until you get the work finished.  Your teacher is there to help you so ask if you need guidance,

We are going to move onto some reading work.  I have posted a “reading Strategies” booklet on the websit and on Edmodo.   Pupils should choose a book they haven’t read before, remember there are free books available on Audible and also “Kindle” if you can’t find anything at home.  Students should try to choose something they are interested in.

The booklet will take students through the reading strategies we would use in class.

 

This week those studying ‘Sailmaker’ will be starting to think about character (this will probably take up at least the next two weeks). Pupils will be creating visualisers for each character in the play and will then start to read Act 1 whilst taking notes to add to the visualisers. 

This group  will be set a different task each day from BBC Bitesize. The link will be  posted  each morning. Tasks range from writer’s techniques, reading challenges and more. 

Pupils should send their work to Mrs Nelson ro Miss Murphy.

By now students should have finished preparing their presentation.  These will be assessed in class when students return to school in Phase 3.

This week students should start working on language using the language text book.  This will help to devlop the reading skills styarting today with paraphrasing and summarising.

 

S2 are continuing to work on the hobbies/helping in the house topic. This is the last week of the topic. There is a revision quiz on Edmodo to be completed by Friday of this week.

S2 are also completing a monopoly game this week. Pupils will choose a Spanish speaking country and complete at least 5 tasks about the country. All materials are on Edmodo and our Modern Languages glow page.

Thank you for all your hard work and have a good week S2!

S1 will continue to work on the school topic this week. We will be learning about how we get to school. As always, resources are on both Edmodo and our Modern Languages glow page. Please send your work to your teacher by Friday.

 

This will be the last week of learning about the school topic, so please revise what you have learned so far as there will be a quiz next week to complete.

Thank you for all your hard work and have a good week!

This week Miss MacPhail’s S2 will be  learning about nouns and verbs. They will practise identifying these words in exercises and then identify them in their own  writing . We will be moving on to amazing adjectives at the end of the week.

This group are working on their Spoken Presentation which at this stage has to be passed in order to sit the Higher exam.  They have materials which help them develop their skills and also materials on the topic which the will present on.

We are aiming to have this presentation work finished by next week so we can start some language work which will prepare students for the year ahead.
