They decided to share some information about their RME topic.
RME 1-02a
Having explored biblical and other Christian stories, I can show my developing understanding of key values of christianity and how they might be put into action in people’s lives.
SQA Work
“Wee G”
Class Yell as part of their SQA Scottish Studies “Talking part in a performance with a Scottish context” wrote a short drama story.
With the help of Miss Antelmi, the script was written and everyone was given a part to play. The performance was filmed as part of their evidence.
Class Shetland then joined them as part of their joint assembly and another short drama performance was written.
This allowed skills such as listening skills, team work, communication skills, creative writing, performing to an audience and self evaluation to be developed and allow them to become successful learners and confident young people.
