Modern Languages Our World Award Ceremony
Written by Mrs Ledingham
Our 4 new S4 students attended the SEET Our world ceremony in Glasgow with Mrs Ledingham where they got to watch 24 films made in another language by other schools across Scotland .
Rhys , Skye , Finlay and Logan had worked really hard to produce a short movie in German about the importance of Justice and Institutions based on the UN goals for sustainable development .
This time round , we did not come away with a prize , but we learned a lot about the value of teamwork , leadership , communication and the importance of languages . It was a fantastic day out , meeting pupils and teachers from other schools who are also passionate about language learning .
Allies Pride Lunch
9
To celebrate Pride this year , our Allies with the help of Mrs Ledingham and Miss Robson decided to have their very own Pride Lunch Party . Each Ally chose one member of staff they wanted to invite-some they felt were supporting them , understanding them and were helping to make Marr a more inclusive place . Several pupils had prepared a speech about why it is important to meet weekly , what we have achieved this year and what our plans were for next year . Pupils and staff had brought cakes to share – with a special mention for Mrs Cleland who made amazing cupcakes . It was one of the highlights of our year as we felt so supported and cared for . The lunch ended with a big Blooket tournament about our group and we crowned our winner : Ms McClymont . Allies will keep meeting every Wednesday Lunch time in Mrs Ledingham ’ s room next year and we hope to get more pupils and staff involved on our inclusion journey .
