Christmas Units and Exam Timetables

BGE classes are working through their Christmas/Winter units while S5/6 are preparing for their prelims in January. Oh how the holidays change as you get older!

This week in English:

S1 are finishing off their Christmas/Winter reports for their magazines.

S2 are expanding their reading skills as they continue to read Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’.

S3 and S4 are working on their reading and listening skills.

Higher are continuing their work on their critical essay texts.

We hope pupils are all working hard this week and that this will continue into next week also! Remember meaningful work will continue to take place for pupils during the last week before the holidays so it’s important that they attend so they don’t miss out.

Week beginning 17th November

This week in the English department at Taylor:

1C1 and 2K1 are continuing to take part in our literacy pilot about climate change. This is an incredibly important topic and skills will be developed that they can use across the curriculum so this is an exciting unit!

Higher classes will have a RUAE assessment this week. Hopefully they’ve been revising hard but class teachers are contactable through Teams if there’s any doubts or questions.

S4 will be completing some revision this week to ensure they are ready for their Progress Assessment. These begin next week with the English paper 1 on 24th November 1:15pm- 2:15pm and paper 2 at 2:30pm-3:45pm.

Christmas units will be started soon if they haven’t already begun with S1 creating their own Christmas magazines and S2 studying Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.
