Advanced Higher!!

Just in case I don't see you...

Your main focus during the holiday is to find information about l'exception Francaise.
What is it? Does it still exist? For how long? Is it normal to protect your "patrimoine" (heritage)? To what extent?

Some links found on google about it
(to get the gist of it, use google translator and your common sense to translate it)

Higher Christmas holidays

I'd like to wish you a good holiday, have a nice christmas.

Next topic in class will be "education and work". In order to prepare this, can I ask you to write an essay (what?!? another one...)

About 150 words for those bullet points:
What you study at school.
What makes a good school
What you think of Portlethen Academy
What would you like to study in the future

Mr buré

Debout la dedans!!!!!!! C'est pas le moment de dormir!!

Good morning pupils and thank you for looking at this post. e

S1 - S2: The raffles have been postpomed until beginning of january. Mylo score will stop TOMORROW during the day. You have one more day to reach a higher score. Can I remind you that the section " They need a challenge" is NOT to be done... Thanks you very much (and remember that I can check everything...) Try to finsh and complete the activity without using the try again button. If you are bored of Mylo, go on to those websites

S3: SQA writing has been postponed, keep working on your essay. If school's open tomorrow, test might take place tomorrow... Something to think about. Websites mentioned above are worth a try as well.
But you might prefer this one: http://www.zut.org.uk/index.html (only accessible outside school hour)

Go outside and enjoy the snow as well.

Feeling cold? Then get your brain working...

c'est Noel!!!

christmas is here with a lot of fun times ahead!!

Start to get in the mood by watching the videos and carry on by visiting Santa's clause house..

Oh Oh Oh Oh

On va arreter l'hémoragie les élèves...

S1 / S2= Play around with MYLO and linguascope website. Remember NOT to go to the "challenge section3 in Mylo. Password for linguascope : portlethen / porty

S3: Remember the penpal letter. Has to be send / handed in ASAP. (should have been done already..)

S4: BBC website, languages section and linguascope.

Higher: Essay for next Monday: 150 words (in French) on what you have been doing the last 5 days. Include some past tense, present tense and complex sentences. Try to relate it to what we have learnt (e.i. living in the country is amazing because buses can not come to pick us up on a snow day...)

Kirsty , still waiting for your presentation on Scotland.
Hannah, same for your personnal presentation.


Int 2: Enjoy the snow :)

AH: Same as the higher but 250 words.
Don't forget the two essays on TV / media.

A vos crayons / souris
