Our first ever ‘Thrive Drive’ is a being set up at moment. All our clubs, groups, extra curricular activities & Pupil Parliament stalls all represented. Looking forward to welcome our pupils to the hall over the rest of the day to sign up for the opportunities that interest them

Anyone else doing a 'Learning and the Brain' presentation to students?
We're doing it with ALL MS and HS students this year... yay!
We're also adding in about the Default Mode Network (anxiety about grades and looking for lions)...
DM if you'd like a copy!

SSERC have been developing our support for teachers delivering the CfE AH biology curriculum. The webpage looks a little different - hope you find it useful.

Bloom’s Taxonomy is commonly talked about in schools, but it’s also commonly misunderstood. The base of the pyramid is just as important as the top. As we teach students new things, we need to work our way up. We can’t get to ‘higher-order’ without developing ‘lower-order’ first.

“It’s rare to find something first as a fossil and then living,” says paleontologist David Jablonski. This tiny mollusk is one of only a handful of species to do just that.

Can’t recommend these feedback pads enough, reordered after trialling in September! So helpful to feedback to my TA for follow up support as well as accurately carry out assessment! Shared with my headteacher too when covering one of her classes- she loved them too! @TPositiveTC

Great to have more than 230 parents/carers of our s1 pupils in the school tonight as part of an S1 showcase evening. A really positive experience, so thank you for coming along! Shout out to the pupils who assisted in subjects and the prefects who ensured no one got lost!👍
