🧪 I added The Ethics Lab to the RMPS site! It helps pupils get to grips with ethical stances and apply them to issues. It also reveals which ones you might align with! Learn ethics, test your moral instincts, and discover your inner philosopher 👇 sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot...

Bank holiday at Kelvingrove and Glasgow Uni: free culture, stunning buildings, and only 47 complaints about walking. A parenting triumph. ☀️

Wishing all our pupils a fantastic holiday! ☀️ Seniors- don’t forget to check out the revision website: review notes, try quizzes, and use the random question generator to practise past paper questions! sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot...

Even in the middle of essay filled exam prep, a short brain break can boost focus. Today our Higher RMPS class used revision hangman to revisit key terms-low stakes, high impact. #RetrievalPractice @lhssocialsubjects.bsky.social

Thought the wind had broken one of my plant pots yesterday. Today a sheepish group of S3 girls came to apologise-they’d accidentally knocked it when returning my pens and replaced it (plus a mug!). Small moment, but a lovely reminder of how thoughtful our pupils can be 😊

Great work from 1L today presenting their Civil Rights Investigations. They explored how individuals and movements challenged injustice and helped shape a more equal society. Fantastic research, and confident presentations all round. Well done! 👏 @lesmahagowhigh.bsky.social

📣Higher RMPS Revision📣 I have added another new page to help build your essays- it is a work in progress so feedback is appreciated 😊 sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot...

S2 RMPS exploring conventional weapons today. Groups became “experts” while rotating “envoys” shared and gathered learning. Final task: justify which (if any) was morally defensible. Strong oracy, ethical reasoning and collaboration throughout. #RMPS @lesmahagowhigh.bsky.social

Amazing trip as always to Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Monastery ☸️

Use of the “big light” is frowned upon in my classroom- calm vibes only ☺️

There’s nothing quite like a sunny, frosty November walk to hit reset.
