We had a fantastic visit from Fiona today. @fiplayscotland.bsky.social We are so excited to continue our play journey. Looking forward to exploring the resources with our staff, children and families! Thanks for taking the time to come and visit us, we really appreciate your support!

We had a great outdoor learning session today with Under The Trees! 🌳 🌺 🐥 🔍

Well done to this P3 🌟 who designed a beautiful Spring flower on the iPad. This design was chosen to welcome everyone back to Term 4! 🎨📱🌸🙌

Just a gentle reminder that now is a good time to start sending our resources back (if you are finished with them) rather than waiting until the last week of term. The mail van only collects every three weeks so there are only a few uplifts left. Get cracking with the packing!

Some children made a wonderful discovery whilst exploring in nature which provoked such rich conversations 🐸🍃💕#RealLifeExperiences

We're building up our following. If you follow us already, pls help us by tagging others. Thank you 😊
