A small group of primary and secondary pupil council members are working with Yvonne McBlain and Christine Snedden from the Curriculum Support team to decide what the pupil version of Learning to Achieve should be. With the help of pupil council co-ordinators and other staff in schools, they have great plans to create this policy as a video production. They are hoping to involve as many pupils as possible from across Falkirk council in the making of the video. They also have great ideas for how the video could be launched across our authority. Everyone invovled in this sub-group is hoping that this policy will really make a difference in all of our schools and centres.

Beangeese Blog for Slamannan Primary School
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.
