Supporting St Joseph's ECO WEEK, helping to embed Eco-Schools' themes in the new curriculum.
This class was exploring global waste issues.
Others looked at water, energy, fair trade and human rights.
|
All the thinking and questioning was around how we can live more sustainably and why we should be trying to.
Teachers were using ways that develop important themes such as enterprise, citizenship, sustainable development, international education and creativity in a range of contexts.
|
Learning that relates to these themes is therefore built in to the experiences and outcomes across the curriculum areas.
This approach reduces the need for other layers of planning across the curriculum. (Building the Curriculum) |
Highland One World Group was working on Africa with Ferintosh Primary School on 9th March. |
The P5 -7 class wanted to know about our relationship with Africa and the impact fair trade can have. |
Besides activities with Janis they were lucky that an Oxfam field officer from Zimbabwe was visiting that day so Janis was able to take her into the school.
|
The pupils had many interesting questions for her. |
