At Auschwitz we see the end of the long process. It's important to remember that the Holocaust did not start from gas chambers & murder. The hatred slowly developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice, through legal exclusion, escalating violence & dehumanization.

Very much enjoying watching my constituents absolutely wreck the creepy old men making comments about their school uniforms

It's been beautiful to see our pupils respond with such wit and maturity to these ridiculous and unnecessary comments from British Educators. You are all an absolute credit to our school, and well done for taking this in your stride ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Crime and the Law Monopoly with N5 Mods this morning 🤑 (couldn't find any actual game pieces so had to get creative 😅)

This adorable nonbinary frog sticker was given to me by a pupil who was inspired by the ones on my wall so decided to create their own 😍🐸🏳️‍🌈 absolutely love it!

Not only did I get my wee frog yesterday, but all my Nat 4's passed the last of their outcomes and my S1's demonstrated some fantastic teamwork 🙌🙌🙌 great reminders of how rewarding teaching is - let's see what today has in store! 🙏

Happy April's Fools - walked into a back-to-front reggie class this morning 😆 honestly was just impressed by their organisational skills

Particularly enjoyed the group who decided to look at Damascus as they felt it was important to learn about the other side of this fascinating city we unfortunately just associate with current conflict. Well done to all my S1 geographers 🙌🌏

This is very interesting 🧵 RE: autism and transgender identity

Here is a very apt poem by Fernando Pessoa as I enter Day 5 of Covid 🤧 hating to miss my last week with my classes before the timetable rotation 😟

Felt all nervous waving my lot into their Nat 5 exams 🙈 even though I know theres no need for nerves - you guys have got this!!! 🙏🙏💪💪

What a fantastic time our Reporters Club had today at Sky Academy Looking forward to watching their video next week 🎥 Big thanks to Miss O’Hara MissOHaraModernStudies for organising and to Mr McNelis for accompanying the pupils.

So proud of all the budding reporters from our new S3 and S4 who came on our trip to Sky Academy on Friday. They made a brilliant news video on the dangers of Fake News 👏👏👏👏

🎥🎥🎥🎥

Our new s3 class was actually discussing the fake news and conspiracies surrounding the Parkland shootings earlier this week. So tragic that this is becoming all too familiar theguardian.com/us-news/2022/m…

Completely overwhelmed with all my leaving gifts, cards, letters 🥺💕 could not have had a better school to do my NQT year in! Not a day went past where I wasn't left impressed with a pupil's insight, compassion or humour. It was such a privilege to teach you all🙏💕 St.Columba's HS, Gourock
