Hi all,

Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone who gave me a lovely gift before the Christmas break. All very much appreciated.

What’s coming up this term?

This week is Scottish Week and it’s building up to the yearly poetry recital. Students will be asked to read, learn and recite a Scots poem; either by Robert Burns or a contemporary Scottish poet. Two pupils will be chosen to recite their poem at a special assembly on Friday 24th January.

Topic – we are still focussing on WW2 as our project but should finish this in the next couple of weeks. I’m going to speak with the class to finalise plans for their pupil talks on the subject.
