The Education Resource Service in North Lanarkshire – adding to the cultural life of schools..

Leave a comment

The Education Resource Service in North Lanarkshire exists primarily to support learning and teaching in educational establishments across the authority.  This is done in a number of ways.  

The ERS provides a range of resources from topic boxes to artefacts to DVDs and CPD.  A catalogue is produced annually which details exactly what is available to borrow.  ERS Brochure 2013

The team of Children and Young People’s Librarians support educational establishments across North Lanarkshire with all sorts of innovative extravaganzas. CYPLs provide library based support and advice to schools. See this document Libraries Supporting Learning for some examples. ERS Libraries Supporting Learning

The ERS has a blog which you can follow which is updated regularly with interesting projects and possible uses for resources to support the curriculum in many creative ways.

World War 2 Drama Workshop

Leave a comment

Hopscotch Theatre Company visited Glencryan School to deliver a WW2 workshop. They presented a wartime sketch to the children then got them involved in a range of drama activities including hot seating, mime and group presentations. The children thought the workshop was fun and enjoyed consolidating their knowledge of WW2. The teachers were pleasantly surprised by the level of understanding and engagement of many of the children involved. The workshop linked very well with the class topic.

Thank you Hopscotch!

Hopscotch Theatre Company visited Glencryan School as part of Eco Day. They presented a short sketch to the children followed by child-led activities including freeze framing, mime and taking part in an Eco chat show. The children thouroughly enjoyed the workshop and learned about a range of Eco-related issues in a fun, interactive way.
