On 17th March, Amber (2A) and Asha (2A) attended the 2017 Semi-Final of the Word Wizard. This is a multilingual spelling competition open to all S1-S3 pupils in Scotland learning French, Gaelic, German, Mandarin or Spanish.
The competition provided a perfect opportunity to address The Attainment Challenge by allowing pupils of all levels the chance to excel in language learning. Word Wizard develops skills in acquisition of vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling, recall and public speaking.
Word Wizard was organised by SCILT, Scotland’s National Centre for Languages and CISS, the Confucius Institute for Scotland’s Schools, with support from the University Council for Modern Languages Scotland and the Universities of Strathclyde, St Andrews, Aberdeen and Dundee.
The name of the finalists will be announced by the end of March! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the girls who worked extremely hard to prepare for this highly competitive event!

Santander Employability Champions
Craigroyston Community High School teacher triumphs in employability award
Elaine Gray has been chosen by Career Ready as the Santander Employability Champion 2017 for Scotland, an award that recognises her commitment to improving the employment prospects of her students.
Elaine Gray has been chosen by Career Ready as the Santander Employability Champion 2017 for Scotland, an award that recognises her commitment to improving the employment prospects of her students.
The Santander Employability Champion Award, given by national charity Career Ready, celebrates the individuals who go above and beyond the requirements of their role as a Career Ready Coordinator to act as an ambassador for wider employer engagement.
Elaine Gray said: “This award is important not only to myself, but to the staff, students and business partners who all work together, to give our young people the best chance of a positive destination. This recognition for our Career Ready programme is testament to the excellent relationships which exist in school, and out in the workplace.”
Career Ready links employers with schools and colleges to open up the world of work to young people. Offering a structured programme for 15-18 year olds, they rely on employers like Santander across the UK to deliver the four key pillars of activity – masterclasses, mentoring, internships and workplace visits. Santander is one of the biggest supporters of the programme nationally and has supported the charity since its inception.
Well done Elaine!

20 Mph!
New 20mph rollout!
Phase 2 of the rollout of a 20miles per hour (mph) speed limit goes live on 28 February 2017. The second phase is the largest construction phase in the scheme stretching from Granton to Portobello, Duddingston to Morningside, Gorgie to Murrayfield.
You can find out if your street is changing to 20mph by checking our interactive map.
The introduction of the new 20mph limit relies on signage and road markings alone. Existing speed humps or other traffic calming will remain unchanged. Larger 20mph signs will mark the entrance and exit of a 20mph area where the speed limit changes. These signs will be supplemented by smaller repeater signs or road markings with speed limit roundels.
While many cities in the UK, Europe and beyond have already brought in 20mph (or 30km), Edinburgh is the first city in Scotland to roll out 20mph limits in this way, with many other areas, including East Lothian, keen to bring in slower speeds.
Slower speeds bring many benefits to places and people. They help to reduce the risk and severity of collisions, encourage people to walk and cycle and spend more time in an area. The project extends 20mph speed limits to approximately 80% of Edinburgh’s streets, while retaining a network of roads at 30mph and 40mph on key arterial routes.
Further information is also available on the Council’s website at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/20mph and on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/edin20mph.
