November 30th is the date of the annual commemoration of Saint Andrew’s Day. As part of the celebrations for 2010, the Scottish Government has launched a poster competition for young people in primary and secondary schools and early years centres. The theme is Scotland’s Food and Drink, a topic for which many Scots show a keen interest. Young people are invited to interpret that theme through the creation of a poster. A leaflet giving full details can be downloaded from the Scottish Government website, and the closing date for entries is 12th November.
Learning and Teaching Scotland has developed many resources to support teachers as they encourage a greater knowledge and awareness of Scottish identity among learners. A new webpage to support school celebration of St Andrew’s Day will include an interactive map to show communities where local activity is taking place.
And the latest issue of the magazine of the General Teaching Council for Scotland has a feature based around a panel discussion on the role of Scottish culture in the modern classroom.
