Still time to apply! Eyemouth is a wonderful small school with a real family ethos and only 20 mins from Dunbar - https://t.co/AdGEBpA4LN

Impressed with my S2 classes engagement using video guides to learn to sketch complex shapes in 2 point perspective! Zero demos today (not even with a visualiser), quick explanation with WAGOLL, and then pupils working independently through the tasks from topic guide.

[Shona MacGregor @SMacGregor2]

S2's have started their perspective sketching unit which means it's time to utilise video tutorials! Live demo with visualiser, this looping on board, and a pupil version accessed on their iPads. Everyone focused & working at their own pace!

Come and join an amazing school with brilliant pupils, behaviour and staff! Rare an opportunity arises like this!

Enjoyed presenting after school CPD sessions on the use of flashcards for revision today. Probably spent longer than necessary setting my screen recordings to look like they are in phones though… #OtherDigitalFlashcardPlatformsAreAvailable

[Shona MacGregor @SMacGregor2]

Practical Metalworking started today's lesson with a generation game. Found in a random folder shortly before the class started, made this 5+ years ago, can't remember who inspired it. Good effort from class after explaining what generation game is and why there was a teddy!

[Shona MacGregor @SMacGregor2]

Impressed with my S1 class' effort cutting their corner halving joints for their frame. Pupils were learning to cut using the diagonal method to remove waste wood.

[Shona MacGregor @SMacGregor2]

Teaching Higher Engineering to structure their concurrent forces calculations, finding magnitude and angle required to maintain equilibrium. Live modelling whilst the N5 pupils worked through their tasks. Able to add further annotations for support and clarity.

[Eyemouth Technologies @TechEyemouthHS]

Great effort from S1 today who were learning how to use a marking gauge to mark depth, then use a tenon saw to cut! #MeasureTwice

[Shona MacGregor @SMacGregor2]

Teaching S1 how to cut their corner halving joint - projecting demo onto board to help provide clarity. Then looping videos of steps to support pupils working!

[Shona MacGregor @SMacGregor2]

S3 PCs were revising their woodwork and metalwork knowledge after completing their model evaluations. Great effort!
