Today Huw Williams from Radio Scotland was in the school to find out about our iPad venture!

He interviewed Mr Speirs and then Mrs Speirs and some of the primary pupils.

He also wanted to record part of a lesson in the secondary school, so he was lucky enough to come to an English lesson with S2!

The first part of our lesson was a self-evaluation exercise. We are reading a play called Street Child by Berlie Doherty and last week the class had compiled a Top Ten List for Reading a Part in a Play. Each pupil had to complete a self-evaluation form on their iPad based on how they had read in class yesterday. Huw Williams recorded the lesson as each pupil read out two targets that they had set themselves for next week.

Next, Mr Williams interviewed Nathan, Amy, Nicol and James and asked them various questions about how they have been using the iPad for school work, and if they are enjoying using it. Mr Creighton will be pleased to know that Nathan put in a good word for the Maths department by explaining how the iPads are been used in Maths in a fun and useful way :-).

We then read some scenes from the play and Mr Williams recorded that too.

Well done to those who took part in the interview- they've all being promised a brick on the wall!

Listen out for us on Radio Scotland- hopefully on Wednesday.
