Interdisciplinary information\u00a0about this project\u00a0in a nutshell-<\/strong><\/p>\n

What happened:\u00a0 <\/strong>In 2014, primary 6 pupils at Laurieston PS developed their research skills by discovering how previous Laurieston pupils contributed to World War 1. With the support of Louise Tierney and Laura McDonald from the heritage learning team at Callendar House, they discovered wonderful, sad and heart-rending stories during their “Our Area in the First World War project”(click here<\/a> to visit the heritage learning team blog). Pupils were able to work with a range of people during this project, including: relatives of the people they learned about,\u00a0a reporter from the Glasgow Herald, (\u00a0click here<\/a>\u00a0for more detail of the stories uncovered in his article about their work), and a television researcher.\u00a0They also worked with a storyteller and artist, who helped them to interpret the stories they uncovered\u00a0in a creative and informative way. The resulting “memory box” exhibits were part of a travelling exhibition which\u00a0was launched in the Hippodrome Cinema, Bo’ness, visited Callendar House, \u00a0and local libraries throughout the Falkirk area.<\/p>\n

The pupils continued their\u00a0involvement into\u00a0primary 7,\u00a0and their representatives shared their work with HRH Prince Edward, on 2nd July 2015.<\/p>\n

How does this work relate to Curriculum for Excellence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

These\u00a0pupils\u00a0applied their literacy skills\u00a0within\u00a0the\u00a0“People, past events & society” organiser of social studies, to research\u00a0the legacy of the first World War on\u00a0their local area. Discrete subject skills were developed within and across literacy, social studies and expressive arts. The project blended the four contexts for learning – the transferable skills used across the curriculum progressed learning in a discrete and connected way. The project enhanced the positive life and ethos of the school in its local community, and offered pupils opportunities for wider achievement.<\/p>\n
