Awesome finish to the term with S3, looking at the causes of crime! This week’s revision technique was mind-mapping- great practice for future assessment ⭐️ #achievingtogether

616 days since the Taliban banned girls from going to school, and 132 days since they banned women from going to university. The world has completely forgotten the women and girls of Afghanistan. It's the only country in the world that bans female education.

I’m excited for S3 Historians to be exploring the Somme through soldiers’ eyes. Trevor Royle’s ‘Flowers of the Forest’ is a great way to promote reading + use of primary sources We are all responsible for the development and love of #literacy! Portobello High Sch #achievingtogether

A huge thank you to Holocaust Education + Helen McCord for ‘Who were the 6 million?’. I’m looking forward to including Trochenbrod in our Holocaust curriculum Portobello High Sch to provide a glimpse into the social + cultural life of Jewish people before 1939- an incredibly moving session!

I was overjoyed to see young people getting involved with some WW2 home-learning this week! Portobello High Sch Not only did many people create some ration recipes, but several went above and beyond and actually made some dishes! What a great example of #IDL and #achievingtogether

We’re very excited to be getting involved on Saturday with #TeamPortobello Portobello High Sch Pupils can’t wait to take the floor and argue their case! ⭐️

Today’s first task in Higher Modern Studies asked pupils to listen to last night’s #Newscast BBC Sounds as we’ve been thinking about health inequalities- we had lots of discussion about the new smoking proposal and debated its potential effectiveness! Fab work at Portobello High Sch

Miss McClure leading the way! What a gal! 🌟💪🏻⭐️📚

It was great to end the term with lovely S3 who enjoyed engaging with primary sources, categorising them, interpreting quotations and adding recall- “How Fully” style! ⭐️ Portobello High Sch There was evidence of fab group work, focus + a growing sense of confidence! 📚👍🏼

It’s unusual at the moment to find teachers who don’t do this! We’re tired🙃

Lots of Modern Studies news today... and yes it's still okay to say Humza Yousaf is the First Minister of Scotland! Wishing all candidates at every level success in tomorrow's QPs.

1/ Today marks the 9th anniversary of Sheku Bayoh’s death in police custody in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. We hope that the Sheku Bayoh Public Inquiry, led by Lord Bracadale, will bring the justice that they deserve. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

What a fab lesson- History in the outdoors, led by Lisa Williams from Edinburgh Caribbean Association who expertly led us around places in Portobello linked to the trade of enslaved people. An engaging way to remember that the trade isn’t just about exams but is a “lesson on humanity” Portobello High Sch

A big ‘thank you’ to our guest speaker, Françoise from H.E.T. We were so grateful to listen to personal testimony and learn from lived experience Portobello High Sch

Fab revision tonight with S4 Historians Portobello High Sch pupils retrieving knowledge from memory about civil rights campaigns up until 1968! Fab effort from the team! ✨🧠
