SHARING   THE   LEARNING

Another busy week in P7! A special thanks to our parents and grandparents who were able to attend the Sharing the Learning event on Friday morning. It was great to see so many there and being able to work with the children on their task.

The children have been extending their knowledge about the Scottish Parliament as part of their IDL learning and they worked collaboratively to complete a timeline showing some key events from when the Scottish Parliament was first established in 1997 up to more resent times.

What stuck with you?  Children were asked to write three facts on post it notes listing what they have learned from the lesson and stick onto the whiteboard.  This is a great way to explicitly display the learning that has taken place.

Some comments…
