\"\"<\/a>Teachers and pupils from a range of Falkirk establishments showcased their Global Citizenship work at an event in Larbert Village Primary School on 15th May 2014.<\/p>\n

Bo’ness Academy shared International Education and Commenius projects worked on by their S2 & 3 pupils. This work targeted a range of skills and there was great evidence of pupil research and information handling capabilities. Larbert High School pupils confidently shared a range of Global Citizenship and Sustainability work. It was obvious that they have worked in a really effective way with partner organisations like Communities on the Carron to\u00a0change their local environment.\u00a0The school captains\u00a0have also driven the Captain’s challenge initiative which is motivating\u00a0\u00a0pupils to really push their own personal achievements out with their academic studies.

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0Inchlair Nursery children spoke confidently to visitors about all of the Commonwealth Games learning they have gained over the last few months.

They\u00a0have\u00a0been\u00a0really engaged by the story of Captain Bristle’s Thistles and wore their special Inchlair Commonwealth T-shirts.\u00a0 Larbert Day Nursery staff shared the\u00a0learning their children have\u00a0 gained about the Commonwealth and the games using their floor book and examples of children’s work.<\/p>\n

There was also lots of good primary school practice on show, linked to the Commonwealth Games theme. Teachers in Falkirk schools have been creative in their planning and delivery of lessons within the cross-cutting theme of global citizenship. They have used the Commonwealth context to make their teaching relevant and coherent for their pupils. The examples displayed showed that\u00a0pupil skills, knowledge and understanding were being broadened and deepened through this work – sometimes to develop new skills, sometimes to offer a new way to apply existing skills. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pupils have also been developing their attitudes and ability to challenge their thinking about global citizenship issues.\u00a0Teachers\u00a0taking part in Global Storyline training shared their development of The Giant of Thistle Mountain. These teachers have adapted this storyline for their pupils and were able to evidence extremely valuable teaching and learning around issues like stereotyping, racism, needs and wants.\u00a0Pupils from Limerigg PS and Carron PS shared their learning experiences\u00a0with\u00a0guests. Each class involved in these storylines\u00a0has created their own visualisation of the\u00a0“giant” character – see\u00a0some of these\u00a0in the photo above.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Isabel Ross from Scotdec\u00a0attended the event and shared valuable resources and training opportunities with people who attended. The showcase was organised by Megan Farr of Falkirk Service Support and Improvement Team in conjunction with Laura Willox and her Global Citizenship strategy group colleagues. Jane Jackson and Yvonne McBlain of Falkirk Service Support and Improvement Team hope to work with this group and other colleagues to support our authority implementation of the recommendations in the Learning for Sustainability report.
