Malcolm Wilson, ICT Curriculum Development Officer of the Curriculum Support Team of Falkirk Council Education Services, supported staff at Slamannan Primary School in setting up a blog to share the learning journey of pupils in relation to their activities around a natural phenomenon which takes place every year not far from the school.
In October every year, Beangeese fly over from Scandinavia to Slamannan’s plateau to graze for the winter. In February they fly off again to sunnier climes. Slamannan is one of the very few places in the whole of the British Isles where this happens.
This blog was set up to be able to provide a means to share with the wider community. In addition to sharing about what has been happening, with photographs and descriptions, pupils have been adding their comments on the blog, clearly demonstrating their engagement and enjoyment of their activity.
Well done to staff and pupils of Slamannan Primary School for making great use of a blog to share your learning journey.

I think it’s a great venture for the kids to do and lots to learn – all very exciting.
Theresa is really enjoying this project. She likes getting involved and she is learning lots. It’s a very good project.
We at Kildrum Primary think this topic sounds amazing! Recently we have been reading about flight paths and migrating birds and would love to learn more. We will check up on your blog every now and again to see what new and interesting things you have learned.
This looks like a really interesting project! Great work, well done! 🙂
