Yell Aquaculture – Burravoe and Cullivoe Primary Schools

Burravoe and Cullivoe Primary Schools on Yell, Shetland, are just starting their joint project learning about the importance of fish in a healthy diet. Aquaculture is an important part of life on Yell and we are lucky to have several local businesses who are going to help us find out about fish and shellfish. We are planning to share what we learn with members of the community and are using ICT to share more widely. The two schools are 20 miles apart and whilst we have planned to share some visits we have also created a Glow Group for us to use for sharing resources and for virtual collaboration; we are learning about the new tools in Glow that will help us work together. We are using most of our funding to pay supply cover so that staff can have time to plan and reflect both together and with other partners and also for transport so that we can visit various industry sites around the island.

We are planning to use animation as one way to share learning. This is an animation made by a P1 who is learning how to animate.
