Pupils at a primary school have transformed their classrooms into a captivating museum.

Braehead Primary School pupils participated in a Problem Based Learning (PBL) Project called A Day at the Museum where they created their own Braehead Museum with a variety of exhibits focusing on different time periods.

The Primary 1 to 7 pupils took on Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum's appeal to encourage more young people and their families to engage with their cultural offerings.

The pupils turned their school into a lively museum to show their learning about human history and important past events.

They were divided into groups to construct the exhibits, using daily challenges to develop their creativity, communication and collaboration skills.

The project combined aspects of different subjects such as science, literacy and numeracy.

Anne McFarlane, head teacher of Braehead Primary School, said: "I have been very proud of the amount of work that the staff and children have put into making their Problem Based Learning Project, which was a real success.

"There has been a real buzz around the school and the pupils have fully embraced the challenge they were set.

"We were delighted to welcome parents/carers and family members to visit and take part in the many learning activities on offer.

"Our children have definitely demonstrated their skills in creativity and in leading learning and we look forward to developing this approach further in the future."

Art pieces, bookmarks and even fossil replicas were available at a creatively set-up gift shop.

Councillor Clare Steel, convener of Educational Services, said: "This was a great opportunity for the pupils to have fun while learning important history lessons.

"I’m glad the event was a great success and families enjoyed seeing their children’s projects and how much enthusiasm our young people have for their learning."

Councillor John Millar, vice-convener of Educational Services, said: “It is right for young people to understand the importance of past decades and learning this way through visual displays is a very engaging way to learn.

"I hope the event encourages more young people and their families to visit museums and enjoy the rich artifacts and displays on show.”
