Expressive Arts Team weekly Bulletin
Week Beginning 21st March
Week Beginning 21st March
Hello,
Only 2 weeks of term left, thank you for your continued hard work especially with preparing our SQA pupils for uplifts and exams. There will be a little disruption this week to Senior classes with Live and Learn workshops and our N5 Drama practicals on Thursday and Friday.
With the S2 and S3 pupils in the midst of their course choice meetings we will start sharing our pupil voice questionnaires, please see below for more information.
Written Feedback
Over the course of this week think about our Learning and Teaching discussion last week in feedback. Whilst oral feedback is one of our strengths have a think about our written exams, can we improve our written feeback. Remember this does not always need to be from us, it could be peer or self feedback using model answers.
I have included last weeks presentation below.
General Updates
S2/3 questionnaires
ACTION- over the course of the next fortnight please get all S2 and S3 classes to complete our pupil voice questionnaires. Please allocate some time during class to complete these.
When sharing the questionnaires with each google classroom please do not create a copy for each class. I would like all reponses to be linked to the 1 copy of the form.
For pupils on the Music Tech and Drama Rota, we will get pupils to complete the questionnaires during their normal music lessons.
SQA Scenario 2
Revision Support documents were published last week. I have saved them in this folder.
SQA deadlines
ACTION- Please let me know if pupils are in danger of not meeting our SQA deadlines, I want to ensure that parents and pupils are given notice of this and are fully aware of the consequences. I sent home a few attainment letters and phoned a few parents last week. Please let me know if there are others.
TriLearning
ACTION- If you haven't yet made contact with you tri-learning group please do so this week to arrange observations prior to May.
