Issue Number 08 | May 2020 Face Visors Thank you to our Design & Technology department. They continue to produce face visors for carers and NHS staff. They have managed to produce at least another 388 visors for local surgeries, care teams and the Ayrshire Hospice. Also thank you to Mrs Duncan for bringing in the lovely Malteser cake during production! We also received a lovely card from NHS staff. We still have materials - please get in touch via [email protected] New Timetables Well done to our senior students who have started their new courses for 2020- 21. A home learning overview was sent to all parents/carers of new S4-S6 and can also be found on the school website. Please check Teams and Show My Homework for updates. Business Education ‘Team’ Check Ins The Business Department have been using Teams to run a weekly ‘check in’ meeting with senior classes to answer any questions students would prefer to ask in person, demo using shared screens or in some cases run a live quiz with the class! All resources, assignments and recordings are shared for the week and students can access these via Teams. Great work by our Quizizz winners this week. Special mention to N5 Financial Services who had 100% digital activity this week and Higher Business who had 93% digital activity on Teams. Keep up the good work. S1 Music Playlists – Spread the Cheer! S1 students were asked to create a playlist of their top 10 happy tunes for beating lockdown blues. Well done to students who entered! 5
