\"\"<\/a>On Friday 30th May, Liz Stephen and Laura Beattie of Deanburn PS celebrated the conclusion of their Giant of Thistle Mountain global citizenship storyline. They have both been part of the first cohort of \u00a0Falkirk teachers\u00a0being\u00a0trained by the West of Scotland Development in \u00a0Education Centre (WOSDEC) to deliver their global citizenship storylines.<\/p>\n

All of the teachers who have taken part in this interdisciplinary learning have reported very valuable impact on their pupils. This includes development of\u00a0pupil understanding of social justice and equality (Why is the giant so unhappy? What can we do to help?), their respect for diversity (Don’t assume the giant is bad because he is loud and scary-looking), and their critical thinking and ability to understand the importance of communities. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pupils in\u00a0Liz Stephen’s primary 1 class greeted fellow pupils, parents and other guests by miming their character role in their imaginary village of Thistle Mountain. They\u00a0then took their guests on a guided tour of their work throughout the storyline and the frieze and model village they had created. Both classes had\u00a0created their own giant too.<\/p>\n

This storyline bundles a small number of experiences and outcomes from Religious and Moral Education, Health and Well Being and Social Subjects. It skillfully combines active learning experiences with drama interludes where the children are in role and have to deal with very difficult questions and issues. They are taken on a journey which effectively\u00a0supports\u00a0them in forming their social attitudes and emotional development.\u00a0There was lots of evidence of deep understanding of the dangers of stereotyping and the value of co-operation and collaboration to build a succesful community.\u00a0It\u00a0was clear from\u00a0the children’s\u00a0readiness to\u00a0take on their\u00a0character role, that they thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.\u00a0(Click here<\/a>\u00a0to view a video compilation of the work displayed)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a>Laura effectively built\u00a0opportunities for pupils to apply their\u00a0literacy knowledge and understanding through a before and after “role on the wall” activity. Each class created their own giant and village using their chosen media.<\/p>\n

Liz and her class used a flip chart to capture their developing ideas throughout the project, and this was available for parents to view during their visit.\u00a0It can be very difficult to capture evidence of developing learning during discussion with groups of children, and Liz found this flip chart method worked really well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
