@KingsParkSec So excited to get started! See you Monday 😁

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

It’s been a very emotional day saying goodbye to Bannerman, but thankful that I got to spend so much of my career so far with such wonderful pupils, within an excellent dept and as part of such a great staff team. Now on to the next chapter and leadership opportunity 👩🏼‍🏫

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

@WhitehillSec Thank you! ☺️

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

Thanks to everyone for their donations and book review bookmarks. We hope you walked away with something you’re excited to read! 📖

Some great discussion around leadership skills/ qualities with the S6 Reader Leaders today as we considered how this might help us lead reading activities this year in @BannermanHigh 📖 You can follow our journey on the Padlet linked here:

Looking forward to the last @BannermanHigh Senior and Staff Book Club meeting of the 23/24 session. Tonight we will be discussing this month’s chosen read, ‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ by Neil Gaiman. Can’t wait! 📚 @BHS_EnglishDept

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

An excellent first meeting with the @BannermanHigh Junior Reading Leadership Group who have come up with some amazing ideas about how to promote reading across the school. Looking forward to seeing these plans in action! 📖💡

Can’t decide if I was more nervous before my own Higher English exam 15 years ago or tonight, with so many young people studying my work.

Take 5 mins to read Qs, calmly make a plan with your evidence then crack on.

If he can get an A… you can too!

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

What an afternoon! 🙌🏻 Thanks so much to @G_Armstrong21 for coming along and inspiring our young people today 📖

The next meeting is on 15th of May and the theme is books from this collection. Can't wait! 🤩

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

A busy double period of revision for Higher today! 🧠 This class love playing Connections (and also love a bit of competition) so we created our own version with MacCaig’s poems and then they tackled some tricky SST questions on each poem together as a carousel. 🔄

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

Could your next read be waiting for you here? Very happy to share some of the books discussed at our first @BannermanHigh Senior and Staff Book Group meeting which focused on 'Recommended Reads' complete with links, ratings and recommendations!📚⭐️

What a turn out for the first @BannermanHigh Senior and Staff book group! Thanks to everyone for sharing your recommended reads (a full list will be coming soon). I’m already looking forward to next month’s meeting which will focus on award winning books 📚🤩

[Mrs Greer @EnglishMissM]

@WhitehillSec @BannermanHigh @BHS_EnglishDept The theme of the first meet is recommended reads so I’m sure we will have plenty to share! 📚

Best advice for young readers?

‘Read what you love,
until you love to read…’

This period with the Senior Reader Leaders is turning into one of my favourite periods of the week! ☺️ Lots of bookish plans are underway and I can’t wait to see what they, and the Reader Leaders in S1-S4, have in store for @BannermanHigh 📚
