Ms. Donald’s S2 class have been completing posters explaining the importance of Theme in a play. They have been looking at the theme of Fame in the play ‘Fast’ by David Grant. In the play, the media and the character’s hunger for celebrity status can distort a person’s reality.

Ms. Donald’s S4 National 5 class are creating role-play scenes, based on the events of their novel, I’m the King of the Castle. Their focus is on creating: - A clear understanding of character - facial expressions, gestures and movement. - Tone of voice to represent emotion.
