S1 OUTDOOR CLASSROOM

S1 pupils recently participated in the three-day, interdisciplinary project, the ‘Outdoor Classroom’ from Wednesday 8th May till Friday 10th May. The project was organised by Faculty Head of Technology, Mr Conboy, and Principal Teacher of Pupil Support Atholl, Miss Lyttle and took place both at school and at Strathclyde Park. Over the three days pupils took part in activities, such as: pond dipping, cycling, kayaking, bridge building, and problem solving exercises, all of which helped pupils work towards their John Muir award, and ensured that they had a fun learning experience. S1 pupils agreed that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience with so many school departments coming together to offer participants a diverse range of activities.
