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

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.
