Children’s Parliament have been delivering Doing our Best in Bramble Brae, Manor Park, Riverbank and Tullos primary schools in Aberdeen. We are just completing work with the final 2 of our 11 full classes who have taken part, so around 275 children this school year and last. Doing our Best addresses the attainment gap by building on learner self-perception and rights-based classroom relationships. It is built around creative whole-class and small group tasks. The work is now profiled on the National Improvement Hub.
To celebrate, we are organising a Doing Our Best event on the 17th of May 2018, in the Beach Ballroom. Children who have completed the programme from Bramble Brae, Manor Park, Riverbank and Tullos Primary Schools will lead guests through key elements and share their views on being a learner. The session will leave participants with an understanding of this innovative, inclusive approach which they can further consider when it comes to their own approaches to raising attainment.
With special guests Angela Scott, Chief Executive Aberdeen City, and Bruce Adamson, Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland.
Here are the Riverbank Doing our Best Investigators ready for action! ‘I am excited to go to the Beach Ballroom and show the adults what to do.’
