S1 and S2/3 IDL Week - 14-18th May 2018
During the week beginning 14th to 18th May 2018 all students in S1, S2 and S3 who are not participating in either the London or Blairvadach Trips or involved in Bronze Duke of Edinburgh will be involved in our IDL week of learning. The normal school timetable is suspended for that week to allow the students to undertake a week of enriched learning across the curriculum. The themes for the week are as follows:
S1 - John Muir Award - Discovery Level
Students in S1 will be working towards achieving their Wider Achievement Award called the John Muir Award - this is an environmental award which encourages participants to connect with, enjoy, and care for the wild. During the week of learning students will attend a number of trips to allow them to be involved in outdoor learning which will include; Orienteering and working with Park Rangers at Pollock Country Park, Whitelee Wind Farm visit and Science based workshop, Lambhill Stables Community Group visit and a visit to Viridor Recycling Plant. Other in-school activities will involve community based workshops with RSPB and Polli:Nation as well as having the opportunity to watch a theatre production by Team Binit!
