An Amazing Lesson in Life!
Having learned about Charities and Loving your Neighbour in Religious & Moral Education ,
my wonderful S2 classes from Dunfermline High School turned out for
an Assessment with a Difference!
Packing bags in Asda for four hours on a Sunday afternoon, to raise money to send 15 girls in China to school seemed like a far more effective guage of how effective their learning had been.
These wonderful pupils have been learning about life in rural China, reading letters & reports from the girls they are helping.
They have all commented on how much they have learned from the girls in China about their attitude to life.
It has been an eye opener for them!
I am proud to be working with both my special girls in China AND these amazing young people in Scotland who have so much, and wish to give so much back.
They raised an amazing £850 which will pay for the Nanning girls to go to school for a year and help with food costs while they are there.
They are busy at the moment writing letters & preparing small gifts to send to our friends in China...
Watch this space .....
I am so proud of them all !!!!!!!
They teach me so much!

Well done those students! Amazing to think that 4 hours of work can make education possible for a year. That's some calculation. What happens to those who don't take your 'assessment'?
Fantastic Linda! What an excellent afternoon's work! Well done to all those brilliant students. I hope they all got an A+! That's my kind of assessment tool!
Linda - the students you teach do you proud! Well done to all of them, and to you too. I think it's amazing that what seems to be so little to us can make such a huge difference to the lives of the girls in China
You are so right!!! Assessments on paper are fine! But I love the PRACTICAL!!!!! They all got more than A++++ from me :-)
Linda, that proud you must feel of your students!!
You are wonderful, always working for the children. Everything for the children!!
God bless you!!
