Getting this one in early this year. There is no secret to passing N5/Higher/AH English. Often those who seem naturally good at the subject are doing lots of revision at home. The more practice you do, the easier you will find it. #practice #English #hardworkpaysoff

Ruby did such a good impromptu book talk this afternoon that BOTH of our copies of @APitcherAuthor Ketchup Clouds were instantly snapped up by her eager classmates. Talking about books is always the best way to get good recommendations!

Every time my classes finish reading Jimmy Docherty's "The Ice Cream Con" we discuss how amazing it would be if someone made it into a film. Adventure, gangsters, Glasgow and Friendship. Is it true that Stanley Tucci and @steve_buscemii have the film rights? #PleaseMakeTheFilm

@ChrisMcGrane84 I recently found out that the contraction "amn't" is also a Scottish thing. Why am I just finding this out now?
