Highers: My brother-in-law and Actual Real Scientist @tomhouslay showed me this and it is very hilarious and very accurate and will now replace an entire future lesson for you. It'll be VERY VERY FUNNY in a few weeks, I assure you.

My lovely Higher class making brain hats to illustrate localisation of function. Genuinely the hardest thing they'd ever done for some of them. Special thanks to the only brave soul who volunteered to pose. Sorry I didn't get a photo record of your visit, @MrVS_DHS

Higher Psych: This is exactly what we were talking about this morning. The psychological effects of the pandemic will be long-lasting and are only just beginning to emerge. Useful reading for our Depression topic later this year. bbc.co.uk/news/health-538204…

Made a class display to show off the work of former Denny High teacher @graeme_NoCode, who is now a fancy video game designer. His studio came along to Living Denny last year. All bias aside, two of the best games I've played in the last few years! @_NoCode @jon_NoCode

Getting serious about corridor displays this year. Will get serious about artistic talent next year.

New suit: Pressed. World of Warcraft posters: Prepared. Packed lunch: Shameful. I'm really looking forward to seeing pupils tomorrow! I've missed talking to teenagers. Approaching random groups outside to tell them about Asch's Three Lines Study didn't go that well.

I see you liking this tweet @MrVS_DHS. I hope your suit game is on point tomorrow. Standards to maintain, etc.

Torn between heartfelt sorrow for my wonderful pupils and making Milgram jokes about a virus in a labcoat repeating "The experiment requires that you continue". Maybe it can be both. Higher and N5, you were and are the best young people. It is essential that you continue.

When a 3 year old attempts to explain a perfectly innocent and lovely family game to her nursery teacher. Eagerly awaiting the knock on the door from social work.

Today's varied psych topics included: Phobias with Nat5, where we established that spiders are the actual worst. The Reorganisational Theory of Dreaming with Higher, where we learned that some people have way too many photos. PTSD with the OWL class, ably joined by @MrVS_DHS

This will be an excellent evening. I can't make it myself unfortunately, but there will be a wealth of info about N5 and Higher Psychology available.

It's that most wonderful time of the year, when sleigh bells ring, cinnamon wafts in the breeze, children sing of goodwill to all, and... ***FLESH-EATING ZOMBIES COME TO SCHOOL*** Read all about it in tomorrow's @TesScotland. If you dare... @DennyHighSchool @living_denny @tes
