So very sad to hear about the death of this talented teacher. What a loss he will be to their school community, and to the community of biology teachers across the whole of Scotland.

Wise words. Tread gently!
Very appropriate at the moment. At this stage of a term, we are all tired and lean on each other a lot. When we can’t be with each other it’s hard. Look after the little people and the big people - and yourself 🌈😍🌈

Today we put our resources to good use by working with our colleagues from @KnoxAcademyDT to make some visors. These will be distributed to local key workers. #PPE #COVIDー19 #PLHS #lasercutter

Reading classwork and giving feedback using Microsoft Teams Assignments and I realised my way of organising and managing learning has changed forever - and for the better. Can’t wait until I can add face to face interaction back into that learning though.

Walking past the demolition works at school tonight it’s heartbreaking to think we will have to close our school to pupils for the second time this year. But we survived before and we will again - trust the hope that blue sky brings #phsresilience

Another great turn out at Biology and Biscuits today... I was too busy to take a photo! After all that has happened this year, our young people are a wonderful example of resilience in action #phsresilience #wegotthis #still @PHSparents

Anyone else feel they weren’t the kind, sparkling teacher they’d like to be today? Reminding myself I want to be a teacher next week, year and decade and sometimes I need a break. Today I switched marking for running in sunshine and it was glorious #teacherwellbeing #selfcare

Determined and focused play from our fabulous S1 Justice team to take the win against @JedburghGrammar today! All the more impressive given how little they’ve been able to train together this year. Well done girls! #phsresilience

I have however spent my whole free period learning how to use the iPad better 🙄 #clpl #newtoy

Only day 1 @PeeblesHigh with iPads and pupils are recording data, drawing graphs, keeping up with the lessons on Teams and visualising the nervous system. Now to make animations of enzymes. Phew. All purposeful learning, made easier and smarter by technology #nogimmickshere
