Skills For Learning - Skills For Life - Skills For Work
This project is carefully aligned to Curriculum for Excellence and the Scottish Attainment Challenge. During the project, children are engaging in experiences which are designed to give opportunities for every individual to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge to be successful learners; confident individuals; responsible citizens and effective contributors.
The project aims to develop skills for learning, life and work within an authentic context.
The project design is centred on exploring community, building relationships and developing metacognition, self-regulation and feedback strategies. Opportunities to develop and apply aspects of literacy, numeracy and, in particular, health and well-being will be built into the sequence of linked learning experiences.

The toolkit provides an accessible summary of global educational research on the impact of interventions for 5 - 16 year olds. This is part of the support to education practitioners in Scotland and is designed to inform intervention and investment decision making to tackle inequity and to close the poverty-related attainment gap. |

Global Goals
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world by 2030. These goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and address the urgency of climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

By engaging the children in designing and building 'The Town That Takes Care Of The Planet', their learning will be connected to elements of the Global Goals 11, 12 and 13.
A final thought on the project design...
Every project is designed to enable children to apply existing knowledge, deepen understanding and develop essential attitudes and skills. It takes an IDL (Interdisciplinary Learning) approach and places learners at the centre of the experience. Their thoughts, ideas and reflections will be incorporated as the project evolves - making each project unique to that group.
The project design and ethos encourages and allows children and adults to engage in 'play' at different levels. Projects are based on a connected, authentic scenario - whether real-life or imaginary. Children are encouraged to explore and play with ideas, tools and concepts - collaborating and creating. They take on roles and learn about the world around them within a safe yet challenging environment. |
Let's bring the curriculum alive and make authentic connections across the areas of learning.
