Primary 4\/5 and primary 5\/6 have been\u00a0part of some ground-breaking science work in partnership\u00a0with the RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage. They have been studying a species of goose which visits the fields around their school during the winter.\u00a0The Slamannan\u00a0plateau is the\u00a0ONLY place in Scotland that these geese\u00a0occur, and scientists have been trying for 20 years to discover where they go when they leave Slamannan.\u00a0Partners\u00a0from RSPB worked with Mrs Murray and Mr Findlay and their pupils to find out how to observe, capture, monitor and then track the geese as they left in springtime.<\/p>\n<p>The pupils shared their valuable interdisciplinary learning with an invited audience via a power point presentation and received Certificates of Distinction in their learning from SNH and RSPB. They were presented with a class set of binoculars so that they can continue their observations of the Bean geese next winter. The pupils were excitied to discover that RSPB and SNH will work with them again next session and follow up on the pupils&#8217; suggestion that they communicate with people who live where the Bean geese go for the summer.\u00a0See pictures of the Bean Goose Project display below, and visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/Beangeese\/\" target=\"_blank\">pupils&#8217; blog <\/a>to find out where they tracked the geese down to.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher in primary 6 said that his favourite part of the project was tracking the geese, and pupils in primary 4\/5 said they enjoyed &#8220;All of it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/CurriculumSupport\/uploads\/sites\/1906\/2013\/05\/IMG_4259.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1468\" title=\"IMG_4259\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/CurriculumSupport\/uploads\/sites\/1906\/2013\/05\/IMG_4259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"249\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/CurriculumSupport\/uploads\/sites\/1906\/2013\/05\/IMG_4260.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1469\" title=\"IMG_4260\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/CurriculumSupport\/uploads\/sites\/1906\/2013\/05\/IMG_4260.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yvonne McBlain from Falkirk Council Curriculum Support Team attended a great celebration of\u00a0\u00a0interdisciplinary\u00a0learning at Slamannan Primary School on 29th May.
