One of my highlights at the end of each half term is celebrating with our learners who achieve class awards. Well done to all those who were recognised by their teachers as bringing special qualities to class. 🌟 ⭐️ 💫
Tuesday's Step Club was blessed with gorgeous Autumn weather! We enjoyed practising some mindfulness and appreciated nature as we clocked up some steps at lunch time. 🚶♀️🌳@KA_English @Kelvinside1878 @GlasgowBotanic
The S4 English pupils loved "Tally's Blood" @CnauldTheatre. Thank you so much for a great night! @Kelvinside1878 @KA_EnglishDept #theatretrip
Huge well done to Freya and Sam for their fantastic vampire leaflets. Both have been awarded a Faculty Head Commendation. #vampires #Halloween @kelvinside1878
S2 were very excited to start using the green screen for their Shakespeare Film Festival interpretation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream“ today. @Kelvinside1878 #english #shakespeare
It was a lot of fun introducing S2 English to Shakespeare today and collaborating on our Shakespeare Spectrum. 📚A great start to our @SSF_UK project this year. #thescottishplay #Creative #collaboration

Senior 3 @KA_EnglishDept pupils practise recall techniques in the library by writing out from memory lyrics they’ve learned for a class project. Now can you say it faster? @blackalicious_ #learningthroughplay #collaboration #innovation #rapmusic – at Gartcosh, Scotland
Senior 1 embraced today’s reading challenge. Thanks for sharing your shelfies and embracing #remotelearning. 📚 #KAatHome #StayAtHomeSaveLives #collaboration #readingforpleasure – at Gartcosh, Scotland

Our S3 pupils continue their success in the English-Speaking Union public speaking comp. The debate was ‘This House would ban cars from the city centre’. Laura VH and James M spoke against the motion and won through to the third round of the competition. #debating #haveyoursay

Three S1 pupils received Rector’s Distinctions for Creativity. In English, S1 analysed Xmas ads with work on morals. Pupils storyboarded adverts but Lorie B, Joshua H and Aryan M created a Lego animated advert highlighting the plight of homeless people. #christmasAd
Great to see our AH English class attend @NationalTheatre to see Ian Rickson’s exquisite production of Brian Friel's masterpiece, Translations. Thank you Mr O’Neil for organising 😊
Thanks to RSM Tom G for sharing insights from his #Remembrance assembly with S1 pupils studying #PrivatePeaceful. #RoleModel #ActiveLiteracy #PeerPower
S2 completed great research in @GlasgowBotanic this morning! Feeling inspired for spooky creative writing! #inspired #creativewriting
It’s Speed Read Dating in S2 this morning. Pupils are sharing their recent reads and collecting lots of ideas for what to read next! #reading #BookReview
We are proud of our pupils who represented @Kelvinside1878 at the West of Scotland heats of the Kids’ Lit Quiz @HSofG today. Special mention goes to the S1 Team who each won a book of their choosing for being top in the Giants round. 📚 👏 #literacy
