A group of S5/6 Social Subjects pupils attended the NLC Sustainability Conference. They explored different stalls and technologies (including robots!) to see what is going on in North Lanarkshire to make us a more sustainable community.
S3 Geographers used their knowledge of shanty towns to build their own out of basic classroom materials. #THSSocialSubjects
On Wednesday this week, two more S1 classes went on a visit to Bannockburn. Pupils participated in a replica weapons handling session, a 3D battle re-enactment and an informative tour to the monument built on the site of Bruce’s camp.
On Monday, to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, S6 pupil Rachel delivered an excellent presentation about her visit to Auschwitz as part of the Lessons from Auschwitz Project to S4 Historians as part of their studies on Hitler and Nazi Germany. Well done Rachel!
Social Subjects classes 1.3 and 1.4 enjoyed a trip to Bannockburn last week after studying the Scottish Wars of Independence. Pupils participated in a replica weapons handling session, a 3D battle re-enactment and an informative tour to the monument built on the site of Bruce’s camp.
A great day was had by all!
S6 pupils Megan and Rachel submitted excellent essays on the why we should remember the Holocaust to be selected for the Lessons From Auschwitz project ran by the Holocaust Educational Trust.
Well done girls!
