13 Sep Beautiful Fife
My last post had no pictures. This one has lots. Something for everyone then..?!
The Balmullo History QR Code Safari was properly completed recently. For a while a few of the temporary codes had been left in place while we arranged fixings for the permanent ones. Now all of the permanent codes are in place, the final one (see above) being at the local Spar. For more than a hundred years this same building has been the local Post Office (now a Post Office/Spar Shop). The Code is tucked away in the Community Council notice board.
I’m glad to say that whenever I see the children they are still telling me about QR Codes they’ve seen on their travels which is a real indication that at least some of what they learned several months ago has stayed with them.
I had intended on sharing these images long before now – these are sections of a poster, created by the children, to document the entire project from research, design, prototype and implementation.
But the best news I can share today is that the good folk at Fife Council who organise and run ‘Beautiful Fife‘ (best kept towns and villages awards) spotted our trail on their visit to judge the beauty of Balmullo. Apart from the labours of the Community Council they also discovered what they describe as ‘innovation’! Consequently we have been awarded a special new category of ‘Beautiful Fife – Innovation Award‘!
Here’s proof…
Such a great experience and it’s very gratifying for it to be recognised – particularly within the context of another community orientated project.
So thank you to Keith Jackson (Fife Council Parks and Community Events Officer) and everyone at Beautiful Fife and Balmullo Community Council, not to mention Mrs Else, Mrs Haldane and Class 2 at Balmullo Primary. You can read more about Beautiful Fife here.
