A busy August-December 2021. We had very little rain!!
It has been a busy four months as I continued to support Loch Lomond National Park with beach cleans, path maintenance, young ranger programmes and geography field trip facilitation for high schools.
I was back to delivering what works best face to face training and coaching work in South Ayr (Beach School & Outdoor Learning), East Renfrew. (curriculum & Fire Management), Orkney (coaching nurseries & work with Primary staff outdoors), Glasgow (for Stramash: Science; Maths; Technology & Engineering training), Aberdeenshire (Getting Outdoors & Progression in Curriculum), East Ayrshire (Coaching).
Shetland were still stuck with online, but I am hoping after several online sessions this year and in early 2022 I will be up there in the spring 2022.
If that wasn’t enough I have been teaching weekly at St D’s. Magic moments have included: exploring friction & making mini machines with P1/2; making castles with working drawbridges in P2/3; making toys with P3/4, gravity challenges with P4/5, exploring COP26 & animal population fluctuations with P7. The best moments were making bioplastics (2 different ways) with P5/6; and our week of ‘everything explosive- bonfire night’ sessions for every class.. See below, for photographs. or click on the link https://sway.office.com/SnXEZDT34sCWwpL8?ref=Link to see an example of our ‘explosive week’
Early 2022 is likely to involve quite a lot of External Verification for ITC First, writing a STEM programme for an Aberdeenshire school and awarding my First Forest School Cohort there certificates when they are back from External verification..
If you would like to learn more about any of my work, take a look at the rest of my website, Facebook page or drop me an email through the contacts page.
Bioplastics - they worked really well!
