Assembly at St. Joseph’s Primary School in Helensburgh this morning was a well attended affair. The children of P2a demonstrated beautifully their learning from their Interdisciplinary Learning Study ‘Handa’s Surprise’ to the whole school (including Pre-5) and to a vast array of proud parents. A plethora of educational experience was in evidence from the creativity of Curriculum for Excellence to the evidenced planned partnership with the local links to the Nora Docherty school in Malawi.

Global citizenship was well documented and the depth and challenge of CfE could be seen via the focused learning on Literacy, Expressive Arts and Social Subjects. This was all the more personal for Miss Docherty, the class teacher, as the Nora Docherty School in Malawi was built in memory of her late lovely mum. Parents were delighted to see the exceptional presentation skills demonstrated by their children and impressed by the amount of knowledge they gleaned themselves this morning. Well done Miss Docherty and P2a!
