Social Studies
The key areas of study in Social studies are:
- People, past events and societies
- People, place and environment
- People in society, economy and business
In social studies, your child will develop their understanding of the world by learning about other people and their values, in different times, places and circumstances. They will develop their understanding of their environment and of how it has been formed.
As your child matures, their experiences will be broadened using Scottish, British, European and wider contexts for learning. There will be a focus on the historical, social, geographic, economic and political changes that have shaped Scotland.
Your child will learn about human achievements and about how to make sense of changes in society, of conflicts and of environmental issues.
At Rashielea we will develop this framework to provide children and young people with opportunities for effective interdisciplinary working by making connections across and between subject boundaries. Teachers will explore the opportunities to plan within and across curriculum areas. T
