iLearn

vince.spicer@drummond.edin.sch.uk (DCHS) — Sat, 23 May 2009 11:50:00 +0100

25th - 29th May is Independent Learning and Homework Week which is a focus on learning outside of the classroom.

Homework is just one way of extending your learning, but it is important to realise how your experiences outside of school connect with your learning in school and how you can develop the life skills you need to become a more independent learner. If you actively seek to extend your learning, then you will have a greater depth of knowledge about the world around you.

Your teachers will be awarding extra ASPIRE points for any student that has displayed an independent approach to learning.

Anas Ousellam in S1 put together a little tune using Garage Band on the Mac. Considering he had no help with this, it's a very impressive piece of music!

Election

vince.spicer@drummond.edin.sch.uk (DCHS) — Wed, 4 Feb 2009 20:16:00 GMT

Election was based around the TV series The Apprentice and saw 10 young people battle through various tasks and challenges to become the ultimate winner. The final episode was filmed in the school where the 3 remaining contestants taught a short Science lesson to Drummond students. The DCHS students then voted on who delivered the best lesson. As you can imagine - being hosted by Jonathan Dimbleby - the series had a political flavour to it and was also designed to test and develop the leadership skills of those competing.

On Tuesday 27 January 2009, our Head Teacher and Captains (William Ross, Niloo Khan, Gursevak Singh and Jessica Swift) were invited to The Scottish Parliament to see the award winning play, 'And Then They Came For Me', be performed to commemorate National Holocaust Memorial Day. The play tells the story of Eva Schloss, Anne Frank's step-sister, a Holocaust survivor. The following day, the play was performed in Drummond CHS and we were honoured to have Eva Schloss as our guest of honour.This clip is part of the coverage of the story from BBC Reporting Scotland.

The S1 (now S2) Extension Homework Students were involved in a video project on the morning of Friday 6th June. 5 groups were given the task to produce a short video which would provide information about what it's like to be an S1 student at Drummond. All the students performed brilliantly in what was quite a difficult task. All 5 groups reached the editing stage and most very nearly completed their video in the short time they were given.

It is hoped that these videos will be used to show to P7 students who will be joining us after the summer. Posted here are 3 versions of a video put together by one of the groups. Come back soon for more!
