The aims of the project - Badges of Responsibility
... and nursery assistant Sue Poutney.
Debbie was keen to develop an enterprise project which would develop pupils’ self-esteem, enthuse and motivate them to learn, encourage them to be confident and responsible citizens and learn the skills to become effective contributors in the school and beyond.
Debbie and her Primary 2 class developed an enterprise project, making badges for the pupils who had responsibilities within the school. Making and wearing badges would boost self-esteem. Children could be active participants in the school community. The project integrated different aspects of education for citizenship, ICT and health and wellbeing, developing learning across the four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence.
