We loved learning about the @UN_SDG alongside applying our knowledge of %, decimals and fractions. We compared the population of continents who do not have access to clean drinking water. Thanks @Mr_Minchin for the inspiration 👍

Although this is our P1 page, I was walking past P4a yesterday and saw this wonderful display of learning and creativity around Climate Change, Sustainability and Global Goals that was too good not to share! #COP26 @LfSScotland

Some brilliant country comparison posters of Scotland and Afghanistan - learning about similarities and differences @LfSScotland

I said it before but this book from @matthaig1 should be in everyone’s bookshelf 📚 A fab little “ pick-me-up” when needed 😊 My random page tonight is.... “Candle” 😎
P7 have created brilliant profiles on the inspirational leader @Malala. Our working wall includes links to the @GlobalGoalsUN @GLP_Scotland @LfSScotland
Today we created a timeline on the history of Afghanistan from the 1970s to 2021. Amazing work as we continue to explore the @GlobalGoalsUN through our big question: 'How do leaders impact change?'

Following on from P5's Keynote session last week, we used the @AppleEDU All About Me keynote template to think about #COP26Glasgow We used objects &photos from our photo walk that help us think about what we need to do to get the message across for #OurDearGreenPlace @GlasgowRTC
Today we gathered ideas for our politics topic by unpicking our big question: How do leaders impact change?
Today P7 started their @LfSScotland journey by exploring the Global Goals. We looked at how these link with the Rights of the Child. We then designed our own icons to represent the goals. A lot of great discussions ahead of making our charter. Thanks @Mr_Minchin for the idea!
