Thistle and Schiehallion have been leading a whole school and wider community project about how to spend the Participatory Budget for our school and the overall cost of the school day.
When gathering our data, we needed to ensure that the whole school and our wider community had their say. The children decided they wanted to do this by hosting a whole-school event where pupils gathered in our Discovery Den to learn about the Cost of the School day and Participatory Budget, through fun and engaging activities. This was organised, run, designed and created by members of Thistle and Schiehallion Clans.
Schiehallion Clan also created, produced and edited their own Clan Calderwood Connects to teach families and our community about Poverty in Scotland, the Cost of the School Day, the History of Schooling and the History of Money. After their Clan Calderwood Connects we asked people who had watched the Clan Connects to have a say in our anonymous Survey. Thistle and Schiehallion Clan supported each other to collect data after the Calderwood Connects from our Community through this Survey.
