Sharing Outdoor Learning in West Lothian site
A great website and award for children celebrating our local cultural heritage. If you are familiar with the John Muir Award, this is very similar but perhaps easier to access.

Polli:Nation is a UK wide initiative supporting pupils from 260 schools to turn their school grounds and other local walk-to spaces into pollinator friendly habitats. To do this schools are encouraged to:
This cross-curricula secondary and primary school project will give pupils direct hands-on experiences; from creating vertical green walls and night-blooming flower beds to lobbying to change school maintenance regimes and debating pesticide use. Pupils will learn about the role pollinating insects play in eco system services and be able to contextualise this in the choices and actions they take.
Alongside creating a network of knowledgeable and enthused young activists, the ambition of this programme is to utilise school grounds to form local green corridors and ‘stepping stones’, enabling species to move between core areas thereby contributing to the overall aim of the project by increasing numbers and sightings of pollinating insects in the UK.
A great project fro school gardens or as a John Muir Award project!

P5 Knightsridge were reading out the stories they have been working on for the last week with Mr Potter in class.
What amazing stories, well done P5!
Knightsridge primary 5 did storytelling within a local forest, a few minutes walk from the school. This provided an atmospheric and lasting impression on the pupils for the reading of the Scottish Myths they had prepared.
These Stories were created in class and read-out at the forest. The previous week the children had picked three objects from a bag: two magical objects and a character. These were then used to create the stories.
The class from Knightsridge Primary 5 use the local forest to get in the mood for storytelling.
On a very cold and stormy day, Primary 5 pupils use the natural shelter of the local forest to build a fire and then tell stories.
A great day and what better way to introduce Scottish myths.
