In line with Curriculum for Excellence guidelines, Active learning is at the heart of the classroom in Girvan Primary. Learners will have the opportunity to: “construct ideas about what they are encountering; develop skills such as problem solving by testing out their ideas and learning from experience; develop logical and creative thinking skills through doing, exploring and taking initiative; and explore current developments and issues and how they impact on learners and society, for example, environmental, scientific, global and technological issues.” CFE Briefing Planning for Learning part 1: Through the Broad General Education (2013)
This active approach permeates the curriculum in Girvan Primary, where pupils will have the chance to work both independently and collaboratively while applying learned skills across all areas.
