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

These may be useful for those working in school and for informing 'home' about the use of literature based on the Simple View of Reading:

@ScotRail Thank you, can I request @ScotRail that you share what the relevant teams feedback please. This is an unsafe and unacceptable way to travel especially when your ticket prices are far from affordable. Please advise how to claim a refund.

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

@ScotRail very unsatisfactory service on the 15.25 from Aberdeen to Inverness. A huge number of people, including children standing, on a crammed train. No acknowledgement of overcrowding, not acceptable particularly during a pandemic. Surely not worth £46 per ticket!

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

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

Some cracking pencil drawings of some well known faces. Great job P7 😊

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

Today we were lucky to receive a virtual visit from the inspiring Myles Edwards from @GathimbaEdwards Foundation. Thank you for a fantastic input which left my class enthused and motivated, the teachers also got some running tips 😁

[GEF @GathimbaEdwards]

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” 😎

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

P7 have created brilliant profiles on the inspirational leader @Malala. Our working wall includes links to the @GlobalGoalsUN @GLP_Scotland @LfSScotland

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

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?'

[Merrylee Primary @MerryleePS]

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

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

@d_anderson878 I am grand, how are you Diane?

[Barry Donaldson @BarryDonaldson7]

Love this cooperative learning banner designed by one of our groups. The students explained that the paws represented wolves joining forces as a pack! They explained that even lone wolves are stronger together #learning #teamwork

[Mr Firth @mister_firth]

Absolutely loved Sean Lock and, as a teacher and a parent, always howled at ‘The Tiger Who Came For A Pint’
