Spooky Skies – Connected Falkirk

In October 2024, we set Falkirk schools another new challenge task for Halloween. This year was all about looking to the stars as we explored the spooky skies using an adapted version of the Apple Creative Activities ‘Reveal a Constellation’ activity. Find out more about the live lesson and the night frights we created below.
