Love this hands-on approach to exploring place value from our @PlayScotland #PlayPedagogyAward school @Kinneil_PS. Using cards and base ten blocks brings numeracy to life through exploration, collaboration and deep thinking, brilliant stuff! #ScotEduSky #EduSky #PlayPedagogy

Torrential rain, big smiles & grassy slopes turned into slides, this is what learning can look like. Outdoor play builds resilience, confidence & creativity. Whatever the weather, children deserve time to play! #ScotEduSky #EduSky

As part of our learning about how materials change, a pottery artist helped the children paint their own pottery animals today. 🖌️🎨
They were bursting with creativity! The pottery has gone to be glazed and fired, and we can’t wait to see the finished pieces next week! ✨ #playscotland #edusky #play

Today we hunted for hidden words, matched them to pictures, and wrote sentences with invisible ink pens.
We then voted for the funniest sentence.
“That was so fun, we didn’t even do any work!”
Me, quietly smiling: you were working the whole time. #edusky #playscotland #learningthroughplay #play
