We can take refuge from extreme weather in our homes, but wildlife takes the full force.
Seabirds are particularly vulnerable; puffins die in their thousands in powerful storms.
A warming world is littered with their battered bodies.
Direct instruction is joyful & leads pupils to success. Here is a *clip* where I use high frequency & high participation questioning in 3 phases:
1. Check for listening
2. Rehearsal
3. Check for understanding
Established routines: all hands up, turn & talk, SLANT & ruler reading
Study Support for week beginning 13th January.

Itโs been 1,116 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from attending school. Afghanistan remains the only country in the world where educating girls is illegal. #LetHerLearn
Our medicinal leeches at @HighlandWPark have started to produce egg cocoons... made from their own slime!
In partnership with @Buzz_dont_tweet as part of the @NatureScot Species on the Edge Initiative, we aim to breed enough leeches to start new wild populations ๐ฉธ๐
Today as a treat for completing the unit of physiology of the cardiovascular system our N5 Health Sector class got to see inside a real heart during our double period! Loads of great questions were asked and we even found a few valves! โฅ๏ธ๐งโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐งซ๐ฌ#ICHSScience @InveralmondC
Big thank you to Fiona and Carol who came to speak to some of our S1 scientists this week about their roles @NHSLothianMedEd. We had great fun learning how to streak "fecal samples" (Nutella) and identifying microbes from agar plates! #NHSCareers#STEM#ICHS @InveralmondC
Today the N5 Biologists had a great little end of the year safari themed revision party to celebrate learning the whole N5 course! Now it's just about revising until the 15th May! ๐พ๐ฆ๐ฅณ๐๐๐๐

๐ฆซ @RSPBScotland Insh Marshes has long been identified as one of, if not the, most suitable locations for beavers along with other parts of the upper Spey catchment. Weโre delighted to see beavers take their place on the reserve adding to its rich tapestry of species & habitats๐
Very proud of all the students in my S1 class using their analytical chemistry skills to match their own chromatograms to identify "Dr Moncrieff's" cheeky note about their science skills today! #ichs#Scienceskills#chromatography#chemistry#STEM @InveralmondC
And just like that, my last day @RosshallAcademy has come to an end. Today was very emotional and I really appreciate the kind messages and gifts that I received from you all. Thank you to everyone who supported me over the years @RosshallScience Now to start @InveralmondC!
