Columba 1400 – Creativity

Last week the pupils participated in another Columba 1400 leadership session live on TEAMS with other primary schools across East Ayrshire.  The pupils discussed the value of creativity and what it means to be a creative leader.  They discussed influential people including Greta Thunberg and Andrew Robertson and how they showed creativity in their leadership. They then practised their own creative skills.

The used their creative communication to take part in back to back drawing activities where one person described a drawing to their partner who then had to draw it based on the description given.  They pupils really enjoyed this task – here are some pictures of the results!

They also used their imagination to be creative and write a story based on a storyboard with only 4 symbols.  They brainstormed as a class to generate ideas about what each symbol could be and then co-created a paragraph telling the story of the symbols.
