Continuing on from the work during the November in service days we had a more in-depth, detailed look at the outdoor space and the transition to Redwell Primary School.
All staff from both St. John’s and Claremont worked in small, mixed groups to create a visual representation of the shared visions and aims which would be implemented in Redwell Primary.
A plan for a joint ICT programme, which will be implemented in both schools to ensure a smooth transition to Redwell, was developed.
Staff worked together to look at ways in which the layout of the playground at Redwell Primary would lend itself to promoting outdoor learning with the children. Steve, from Grounds for Learning, led another session to demonstrate activities which could be used to develop outdoor learning and Curriculum for Excellence.
