Facing our fears on the S3 Adventure Day @PeeblesHigh @SBroomlee Great chats about comfort zones, resilience and bravery!

Snowflake or virus? Nature’s beauty in both! Thanks for the fab resource @cvrinfo @CVRHutchinson

Exciting opportunity for a school leaver looking to pursue a career in science: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat… pls share @STEMatPHS @MrsMcDowellPHS @PHSparents @PrestonLodgeHS

So very sad to hear about the death of this talented teacher. What a loss he will be to their school community, and to the community of biology teachers across the whole of Scotland.

Applications for free school meals & clothing grants for 2020/21 school year aren't yet available. The online application form is valid for customers applying for free school meals for remainder of 2019/20 school year. The 20/21 application forms will be available in coming weeks

Wise words. Tread gently!

Today we put our resources to good use by working with our colleagues from @KnoxAcademyDT to make some visors. These will be distributed to local key workers. #PPE #COVIDー19 #PLHS #lasercutter

Reading classwork and giving feedback using Microsoft Teams Assignments and I realised my way of organising and managing learning has changed forever - and for the better. Can’t wait until I can add face to face interaction back into that learning though.

Any other teachers missing their post it note exit slips? Try ⁦@padlet⁩ for a great online alternative! #remotelearning #onlinelearningtools #teachertech

A message for all my classes...

Walking past the demolition works at school tonight it’s heartbreaking to think we will have to close our school to pupils for the second time this year. But we survived before and we will again - trust the hope that blue sky brings #phsresilience

Another great turn out at Biology and Biscuits today... I was too busy to take a photo! After all that has happened this year, our young people are a wonderful example of resilience in action #phsresilience #wegotthis #still @PHSparents

And Biology and Biscuits will join them again! Come get some help with any level of Biology in Lab 5 next Tuesday 4-5pm. @PHSparents

Anyone else feel they weren’t the kind, sparkling teacher they’d like to be today? Reminding myself I want to be a teacher next week, year and decade and sometimes I need a break. Today I switched marking for running in sunshine and it was glorious #teacherwellbeing #selfcare

Determined and focused play from our fabulous S1 Justice team to take the win against @JedburghGrammar today! All the more impressive given how little they’ve been able to train together this year. Well done girls! #phsresilience

Visualising a tricky concept - enzyme action stop motion animations with S2

I have however spent my whole free period learning how to use the iPad better 🙄 #clpl #newtoy

Only day 1 @PeeblesHigh with iPads and pupils are recording data, drawing graphs, keeping up with the lessons on Teams and visualising the nervous system. Now to make animations of enzymes. Phew. All purposeful learning, made easier and smarter by technology #nogimmickshere
