\"\"<\/a>Yvonne McBlain from Falkirk Council Education Service Support and Improvement team heard an item about Bonnybridge PS on Radio\u00a0 Scotland on Tuesday 21st January 2014.\u00a0 She was delighted to hear about P.6\/7 from Bonnybridge Primary and their work with the BBC Commonwealth Class project.\u00a0Michelle Cairns and her class worked on their debating skills and learned about issues and topics affecting countries within the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

The debates were fun and interactive and allowed the children to voice their opinions and thoughts appropriately. The project\u00a0gave the pupils a fantastic platform for learning about tolerance, equality and working together in a real life context which will be valuable lifelong. Being part of this learning has had a huge impact on\u00a0the children involved. The BBC contacted\u00a0the class\u00a0following their participation in\u00a0previous debates, asking if\u00a0they\u00a0were happy to be\u00a0filmed debating “in action” for the BBC.<\/p>\n

The motion for the filmed debate was \u00a0homelessness in Commonwealth countries and how this related to the Commonwealth games. The children took part in a Skype call with a school in India in which they were able to ask questions and interact with another Commonwealth country. This experience enabled the children to see themselves as a part of the wider world and to really think about how they can contribute as global citizens.

This interdisciplinary learning experience offered the children an opportunity to apply their debating, talking and listening skills within the Commonwealth context. It also offered them a valuable opportunity to develop new knowledge and skills through partnership working with the BBC. Isn’t it great to see Falkirk schools featuring so prominently in the media!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
