Alasdair Allan, Minister for Learning, \"IMG_2574\"<\/a>Science and Scotland’s Languages launched the #ThisIsLfS campaign this week, encouraging schools across Scotland to share their stories of what learning for sustainability means to them.<\/p>\n

The announcement came as the Minster helped St. Aidan’s Primary School, Wishaw, unveil their sixth Eco Schools green flag.\u00a0The learners\u00a0displayed great confidence, knowledge\u00a0and enthusiasm as they took\u00a0Dr. Allan on a tour of their school building and grounds. They\u00a0shared the many different ways they receive their entitlement to learning for sustainability.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2572\"<\/a>P2\/3 shared their learning on\u00a0their\u00a0whole class ‘Clyde in the Classroom’ topic, including an introduction to the “alevins” that had hatched in the special tank in the classroom. The children shared their knowledge of brown trout life cycles and displayed great\u00a0care and attention in regulating the temperature and looking after the eggs. Dr. Allan commented on the potential of this project for furthering their knowledge of river ecology and care of the\u00a0local environment.<\/p>\n

In addition to the P2\/3 class, Dr. Allan met \"IMG_2569\"<\/a>representatives from a number of pupil groups including the Eco group, the Rights Respecting Schools group and the Fairtrade group. He was even treated to some home made carrot cake made from carrots recently harvested from the school’s raised beds. The children also spoke passionately about their links with Malawi and how\u00a0much they had gained from\u00a0their work in supporting and learning from\u00a0their link\u00a0school.<\/p>\n

Dr. Allan said: “The Scottish Government supports every learner\u2019s entitlement to learning for sustainability. We think it is a great way to learn and can help raise attainment and prepare young people for the world of work. For me, learning for sustainability is about learning for a better world. Education Scotland would like to hear what LfS means to you. You can share your pictures and stories and thoughts, using #ThisIsLfS. I look forward to seeing your responses. ”<\/p>\n
