🧪 I added The Ethics Lab to the RMPS site! It helps pupils get to grips with ethical stances and apply them to issues. It also reveals which ones you might align with! Learn ethics, test your moral instincts, and discover your inner philosopher 👇

Good luck to all our geographers tomorrow! Stay calm, read carefully, and trust what you know. You’ve got this! 🌍 @LesmahagowGeog

Wishing all our pupils a fantastic holiday! ☀️ Seniors- don’t forget to check out the revision website: review notes, try quizzes, and use the random question generator to practise past paper questions! sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot/r…

Thought the wind had broken one of my plant pots yesterday. Today a sheepish group of S3 girls came to apologise-they’d accidentally knocked it when returning my pens and replaced it (plus a mug!). Small moment, but a lovely reminder of how thoughtful our pupils can be 😊

📣Higher RMPS Revision📣 I have added another new page to help build your essays- it is a work in progress so feedback is appreciated 😊 sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot/r…

📢 New RMPS Home Practice & Revision Website We’ve launched a new RMPS revision and home practice site. It’s also packed with resources for senior pupils preparing for exams- revision materials, quizzes and exam-style questions. @LesmahagowHigh sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot/r…

S2 RMPS exploring conventional weapons today. Groups became “experts” while rotating “envoys” shared and gathered learning. Final task: justify which (if any) was morally defensible. Strong oracy, ethical reasoning and collaboration throughout. #RMPS @LesmahagowHigh

Excellent use of mind-maps for revision from the N5 history classes this week 👏🏻

Heads Up revision with the N5 RMPS class today! Well done girls, smashed it as always 👏🏼 @LesmahagowRMPS

Some interactive Civil Rights Movement Research Presentations from 1K1 involving quizzes created by the girls and even a musical ensemble at the end! Well done girls 👏🏼

Well done to 1K2 presenting their Civil Rights Movement Research PowerPoints to the class 👏🏼

Great work from 1M presenting their Civil Rights Movement Research PowerPoints to the class today 👏🏼

National 5 RMPS in full flow today 🔥 Quick-fire revision challenge: pupils competed to recall as many knowledge points as possible for named concepts. Energy was high. Retrieval was strong. Depth of understanding really showing through 👏 @LesmahagowHigh

S3 History pupils exploring the transatlantic trade in enslaved people through a “Can You Teach It?” challenge. Explaining causes, processes and impact to peers, with care in language and real depth of understanding. Brilliant effort 👏🏻 @LesmahagowHigh

Partnership working with @OnPathEnergy continues to strengthen this session. We are very proud of our young people and how they are promoting sustainability and developing employability skills through a pioneering STEM project @LesmahagowHigh. youtu.be/7d7xgvhjhLk?si…

Both N5 RMPS classes have been developing their skills this week answering evaluation questions and adding to one another’s responses using chalk markers and consolidating key concepts with Heads Up. Excellent effort! @LesmahagowHigh

Yesterday the S3 RMPS class took part our first Classroom Court Case! This was an excellent opportunity for pupils to learn about the different jobs within a court, and take on the role of a lawyer! Well done everyone 👏🏼 @LesmahagowRMPS

Fantastic discussions from 2M in RMPS today! 🔥 As a reflection on our new Morality and Conflict unit, pupils used this image to debate whether actions can ever be a necessary evil or are always a moral wrong. @LesmahagowHigh

So proud of our S3 History pupils presenting their research today on how the trade of enslaved Africans affected Britain. Thoughtful, sensitive and critical engagement with a complex and important part of history. 👏 @LesmahagowHigh

A space that invites reflection, stillness, and thoughtful conversation. So much beauty ☸️
