Learning and Playing
We promote active learning and learning through play with a strong focus on Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing. Our aim is to develop skills for learning, life and work. We encourage our children to be effective collaborators, independent learners and critical thinkers and we promote digital literacy across the curriculum.
Your child will experience a range of learning and teaching activities throughout their school day, with opportunities to learn and grow in a stimulating, engaging, motivating and creative environment. There will be opportunities to:
develop literacy and numeracy skills and confidence
learn through collaboration with others
develop social and emotional skills
develop critical thinking and creativity
think about how we learn, and what we might learn next
develop confidence and independence
develop digital skills
Home Learning/Google Classroom
Every child in West Dunbartonshire will be issued with a Google OurCloud account, which allows them to access their online Google Classroom. This is used by all pupils and is a place for class teachers to share learning materials, homework and additional information to pupils and parents.
We hope to have a Google Classroom set up for all our new Primary 1 pupils as soon as possible, which will provide you with further updates and information for when they begin at Braehead Primary in August.
Class teachers will share photographs and videos throughout the academic session on the Google Classroom.
Please spend time with your child talking about their school day, their friendships and what they have been learning. Reading is an extremely beneficial shared activity, and we recommend that you spend time with your child reading a range of texts from home and from the library.
