@missmcvittie @HKane @oasis This looks fab - thanks for sharing. Could I have a copy - cbaxby@pkc.gov.uk

5 more guided reading passages & questions available to help improve literacy. Passages on topics like @HKane @oasis and true crime to gauge pupils’ interest. Get in touch if you’d like a copy. ✌🏼 #literacy #guidedreading #skimandscan

@RGreenock That would be so helpful. Thank you!

I’ve created rubrics for Google classroom using the marking grids for N5&Higher Critical Essay and Folio...happy to share them if it will save others a bit of time!

@AnnaGrantENG Yes please - would be so helpful this week! cbaxby@pkc.gov.uk

If anyone is still in school next week and would like something vaguely festive to give senior classes to crack on with, letting you plan for what's to come, I've created a Higher RUAE paper on Elf on the Shelf. Holla me up if you'd like a copy.

It was lovely to welcome Catriona Child back to the dept. today. The virtual writing workshop for our AH class was big success! @CPKLibraries @KinrossHS

@CatrionaChild So helpful! Our Advanced class found it really interesting and will help them develop their writing folios.

Lovely to do a wee creative writing workshop for my old high school this morning. Strange doing it remotely and not being able to see everyone's faces but I hope it was helpful! @Eng_KinrossHS

@geokinross Thanks! Looks really helpful!

@Eng_KinrossHS thought this might be interesting for you

Really interesting video about the See You in 10 Years project - special appearance from Reilly too talking about her involvement! Creating the See You in 10 Years Time Capsule | Book Week Scotland youtu.be/zCrJwP66joY via @YouTube

2/2 Reilly wrote her poem in 2 parts. The first has been published this week and the second part has been placed in a time capsule that will be opened and read as part of Book Week Scotland 2030. An amazing achievement - well done, Reilly! #khsambitious @KinrossHS

Exciting news at the end of Book Week Scotland! We are so proud to congratulate S2 pupil Reilly White whose poem was chosen by @valmcdermid as one of the 16 winners of Scottish Book Trust’s #BookWeekScotland writing competition “See you in 10 Years”. 1/2

Our fab Advanced Higher class have organised TSG activities this week to celebrate Book Week Scotland. Today’s book cover quiz was great and tomorrow you can come to school tomorrow dressed as your favourite character!

All our S3 classes have been studying the poetry of WW1 as we mark Remembrance Day. Mrs Winter’s class have created their own propaganda posters and these lovely poppies. @Hist_KinrossHS @SoSub_KinrossHS #wewillrememberthem

Our S2 journalism elective really enjoyed having the opportunity to interview Mrs Brown, @BenartyDHT , @OchilDHT & @MrJBainDHT yesterday as part of their article planning lesson. Lots of challenging questions were asked! #khsambitious

@OchilDHT 👍🏻 Got a place on the secondary event next week.

It was great to see our S2 Literacy Elective classes again this week. Mrs Winter’s debating elective were developing their talking and listening skills by participating in a line debate on whether pupils should be allowed to listen to music in class. #pointofinformation

Our Higher and N5 classes are focusing on discursive writing this term. #folioinspo is a good place to start for interesting ideas and potential topics. #khsambitious
