As the sun sets on the last full day of term, here is a wee view of (just some of) our year in numbers for academic session 2024 - 2025. The Digital Learning Team at have had brilliant time working with Falkirk schools, teachers and learners - we can't wait to do it all again next session! 🙌✨

An excellent example of how pupil digital leaders can support 'The Churn'. Even better that the idea originated with a P6 who has been through the process! P6/P7 have such a wealth of knowledge to share with the P5 about to receive their devices, brilliant to see this shared and led by learners. 🙌

Excellent work from P7 all over Falkirk over the past seven days. Onwards to secondary school! 🍀

📣Calling all staff who are about to head into their last week in Falkirk! 📣 Retiring, moving authority, taking a break? Make sure you take a look at our ⚡4 recommended actions⚡to take with your Glow account to make sure you, your colleagues and your school don't lose access to important stuff!

Video, audio, text! Storytelling brought to life and expressed through a variety of modes all while honing those digital and creativity skills. This is ✨exactly✨ what we love to see!

It's a P7 and P3 collab at @antonineps.bsky.social. Leaders clearly leading learning and sharing their knowledge within their learning community. Digital, social, communication and creativity skills all getting a healthy flex here too! 🌟

'The Churn' is coming!!! ♻️ Have you given your current P6 and P7 the chance to voice what they think might help their P5 pals when their iPad arrives in August? @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social have been doing exactly that and getting their learners involved in this important annual process! 🙌

What a great range of digital tools to get some real multimodal, creative showcasing of learning happening. We have loved following the journey of @missdundas.bsky.social at @grangemouthhs.bsky.social - we look forward to seeing where you go with it!

Woohoo! Great work from P6 at @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social, enabling helpful use of learner voice when it comes to advice and suggestions for their peers ahead of 'The Churn'!

Bon travail P1! Some magical markup with a French theme! 🥐🇫🇷🥖
