This was a fascinating bit of CPD with Martin Greechan from Deep Fried Films, looking at just one aspect of film-making: the storyboard. So what did we learn today? Film has certain similarities to books, with scenes instead of chapters, and a different grammar. First we learned some vocabulary There are different styles of shots: [...]
Water Week

A blether with a colleague turned into a fully fledged plan for an Eco Schools cross-curricular Week of Water.

Just brainstorming, we came up with [...]

Following the Claim-Support-Question routine, [...]

I returned from my latest university module with intention of talking to PT English about adapting S1/2 library visits. But as I’m describing the coursework and the plan for the portfolio, she interrupts. 3rd year, she says: they’ll have finished their Standard Grade, they’ll be in school and they’ll be bored. It’s a good chance [...]

5th years say to me and Colleague this morning “Why are you all dolled up?” We look at each other. She says, “We’re not”. I say, “Why?” Our visitors appear later and a couple of pupils ask, who are those people? and I glance up at them, and reply, “Them? They’re just visitors” and the pupils say, oh, [...]
