Bainsford Primary and Nursery Class@bainsfordprimary.bsky.social · 5d ago

Primary 6 are officially Canva Creators! 💻They had so much fun exploring Canva, learning new skills and creating some fantastic designs. They loved seeing what they could create; and they can’t wait to explore even more and discover what else they can do! 🌟🎨 @digilearnfalk.bsky.social

Very creative use of the Arduino Science Journal app by @mrdshort.bsky.social here to record how pitch changes relative to volume of water.💧 🔊 Students are then producing clear graphs to demonstrate the results of their experiment and support further analysis. 📊 #digilearnfalk

🌟Some impressive work this week by P6 and P7 pupils from @dunipaceprimary.bsky.social. They gathered class data and used spreadsheets to turn that information into clear, colourful, digital graphs. 📊 Great to see learners building real-world data literacy and digital skills in action! 💡💻

Blown away by Bonnypark ELCC! 🌟 They brought real-world maths to life across their whole community using digital tools and captured brilliant pupil voices along the way. 👇 ⏰ There’s still time for submissions! Closing date is Friday, October 9th.

Love this! 😍 Built in iPad accessibility tools remove writing fatigue by letting pupils fix spelling easily so they focus purely on storytelling.📝📖 OneNote Tip💡🪄: Try the Collaboration Space! Pupils can partner up on a shared page to gather ideas, swap vocabulary and leave audio feedback.🎙 ^ Mel

Miss Risk P6R@missrisk.bsky.social · 3w ago

We are enjoying using our plans on One Note to write our recounts of The Sneetches today. Pupil feedback suggests planning on the iPad makes writing less tiresome as they already know what they’re writing and they can amend spelling on it. Great work from 6R!

We spend so much time looking for what’s missing, let’s celebrate what’s brilliant! 💛 Praise Postcard for St. Francis Xavier’s P3 & Mrs. Begley! 🌟 Fab work combining outdoor maths for Maths Week Scotland with Markup, video & Apple TV to transform learning! GOLDEN work 🌟💛 #MWS2026 #digilearnfalk

St Francis Xavier's Primary Three@stfrancisp3.bsky.social · 3w ago

For #MWS2026 P3 made visual sums with outdoor resources, photographed and labelled them in Markup, then recorded their explanations. They screen-shared their work and taught another group how to do it too! Inspired by @digilearnfalk.bsky.social Thank you so much! 🌿📱➕
