As promised, here are just a few of the amazing things our pupils got up to over the mid-term break to get away from the screen and lots making good use of the snow! #KHSResilience

[KHS Hist, MS & RMPS @SoSub_KinrossHS]

Had an excellent meeting with our Social Subject Ambassadors last night. Really looking forward to helping them put their ideas into action, and revealing their work to you in the next few weeks! #KHSAmbitious

Although I couldn’t be with you in school today, I was certainly thinking of you all #WeWillRememberThem @Hist_KinrossHS @Mods_KinrossHS @RMPS_KinrossHS

This looks fantastic! There were great questions and discussions in Mrs Dow's S3 class this week linked to what pupils had been learning in English.

All our S3 classes have been studying the poetry of WW1 as we mark Remembrance Day. Mrs Winter’s class have created their own propaganda posters and these lovely poppies. @Hist_KinrossHS @SoSub_KinrossHS #wewillrememberthem

Fantastic work S1, we have really enjoyed hearing all about your work in Art in our Remembrance lessons in History. We will remember them. #KHSCompassionate

Delighted to have created our display of S1 work in preparation for Armistice Day today. ❤️ Our S1 pupils have been reflecting on why poppies are symbolic and thinking about all those that we have lost. @KinrossHS @SoSub_KinrossHS #ArmisticeDay  #KHSCompassionate

Remember to come to see us in the History department tomorrow if you are wearing your Cadet uniform to school. @SoSub_KinrossHS

[Kinross High School @KinrossHS]

Members of the Cadets are able to wear their Cadet uniform to school tomorrow (11 November) as part of our activities to mark Remembrance Day this week.

[KHS Hist, MS & RMPS @SoSub_KinrossHS]

Very proud of the team and our pupils this week who have worked hard to commemorate Remembrance 2020. Also huge thank you to Andy Middlemiss for his wonderful words and continued support. Remember to let us see your poppies displayed. #WeWillRememberThem

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

Good discussions and questions from S2 today who were using these resources from the British army to learn about WW1.

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

This is one of the many poppies our classes have coloured in this week. You can display them at home if you wish or we will happily display them in our department. Tweet us a picture of your poppy!

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

We have been so impressed with our S1-3 pupils who have been learning about remembrance. Many pupils in the department have also coloured in poppies to display at home. Even our pets are getting involved! Here is Watson from Mrs Dow's family proudly wearing his poppy.

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

S1 these are looking fantastic.

We have been working on remembrance stones with S1 pupils in collaboration with @SoSub_KinrossHS here’s some work in action. #KHSCompassionate #Collaboration #AmazingS1s

[KHS Hist, MS & RMPS @SoSub_KinrossHS]

Mrs MacRae was delighted this week to award our 'Triple Threat' pin to two of our students who have studied History, Modern Studies or Politics and RMPS! We love seeing our learners pop up in different places within the Faculty! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

Thank you to @AandD_KinrossHS who are working with S1s to create remembrance stones and autumn leaves. S1s will also be learning about WW1 and Remembrance in History.

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

As Remembrance day approaches, any S6 pupils who went on the Battlefields trip last year who are interested in
helping out with Remembrance this year should see Mrs MacRae or Mrs Dow in History by Tuesday 6 November.

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

S3s this is an interesting article linked to our recent work on Italian immigration to Scotland. https://t.co/AdjyfUmGdd

[History@KHS @Hist_KinrossHS]

Thank you for your hard work this term. S2/3 have been working on new topics, S4 have been developing their skills including the 9 mark question and Higher have been starting essay writing. We are really proud of all you've achieved. Take care and stay positive over the summer!

[KHS Hist, MS & RMPS @SoSub_KinrossHS]

We have focused our weekly round-up this week on providing an overview of our topics as well as the key skills connected to each. I wonder what next week’s theme will be? 🤔🤩⭐️
