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

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

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

A good article on the impact of internet shopping on our town centres. The best way to practise for N5/H RUAE is reading articles like this regularly, improving your vocabulary and analysing interesting word choice, imagery and sentence structure. #N5HRUAE https://t.co/26AI3yq6SJ

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
