Commemorative tree planting

Leave a comment

When the Queen died in 2022 many members of the public laid flowers at the nearby council offices in her memory. We were asked to make compost from the flowers afterwards. The compost took a long time to make and was finally ready in March 2025.

We were then invited to a tree planting ceremony in Rouken Glen Park to plant two trees using the compost, one in memory of the late Queen and one to honour King Charles 3.

We met some important people- The Provost of East Renfrewshire was there and the Lord Lieutenant of Renfrewshire!

Terrific Triangles

Leave a comment

Working with Starcatchers, we developed a creative project on triangles. Children and parents brought lots of lovely triangles from home (thank you). 

Child: “The triangles are all different sizes.  Oh, Look at them, they are all my favourite. I made some at home, here they are.”

Then  …….

…we made more at Glenwood using lots of different materials to decorate.

     

…we cut slots into our triangles. We tried scissors and then saws.

…we found we could make 3D shapes by connecting them together and we could make lots of different shapes. 

     

…we took some outside and made a traffic jam with lots of cars.

…we were thinking about our community and neighbours and being ‘intergenerational’. So we made some into bunting and delivered it to our friends with a card. We wrote:

“We are thinking of you and hope our triangles make you happy”.

Parent: “I really liked the idea of the triangles and having something to work with my child at home and bring in. It made me feel more connected to the nursery at this time when we can’t come in”.
