Google Translate

Our students use online translation a lot. A LOT. It is a useful tool but it does have its problems. Google Translate, for example, (other sites are available!), tends to work well when students translate one and usually no more than three words at the same time. However, it cannot work and does not work with full sentences and paragraphs. The results can be comical but are never accurate, so be careful!

What are you reading?

Our school is filled to bursting with people who read, both staff and students. In order to further encourage reading for pleasure and a general love of books, some staff choose to regularly update their Staff Reading Review. This includes a summary and review of the last book that they read as well as the title and author of the book that they are currently reading. They are displayed around the school, generating discussions between staff and students about books.


So, what was the last book that you read? Was it any good? What are you currently reading?
