Success with origami challenge.

A multitude of cranes were made. Many thanks to the seniors for your patient support.

Origami Masterclass

Ok. These are not my cranes. No my efforts are not quite so perfect...yet!

I have to say a huge thank you to Kane for these and also to Ben. Both will be demonstrating at morning break on Friday in the library. We will have instructions and papers for those who want to have a go.  Looking forward to seeing you all.

World Book Day 2019

Well done everyone for the huge effort across the school to celebrate World Book Day.

Many of the door displays will be moving into classrooms or to the library. On Friday there were some very impressive answers in the S1 literature quiz.   All books left over from the Book Exchange are now on sale in the library.
 

World Book Day- is it worth it?

Thanks to all the staff who dressed up for World Book Day and to all those who helped decorate doors. Absolutely brilliant. And so great to hear so many pupils talking about the books as they passed us by. Some parents might,  like one of our MSPs query what dressing up has to do with literacy. My argument is that it is only one way in a range of strategies we have for getting pupils talking about books. And my copy of Coraline flew off the shelf within 30 mins of my display going on view on Monday.


Our staff pupil quiz is next on the agenda and finally we have the big S1 quiz tomorrow. WBD vouchers will be given out then.
