Outdoor Primary Science Resource from NAC 🔎🍃🐞

There are only a couple of days left until schools stop for summer, but with this great weather there is no better time that to encourage some STEM curiosity in the outdoors!

This is absolutely fantastic resource developed by the wonderful STEM team in North Ayrshire Council to support teachers , the NAC Early Level Outdoor Science Resource is beautifully put together with loads of high quality acitvities and links to support teachers with outdoor science.

Although this is branded for Early level, with a little bit of tweaking this resource is perfect for First and even Second level too – have a look!  Access here using this link or you can find it on Education Scotland’s STEM Nation glow blog.

Pocket GArden Competition from Keep Scotland Beautiful

The Pocket Garden Design Competition 2022 is now open!

Each year, we invite young people from schools and nurseries across Scotland to send in their designs for a colourful and exciting environmentally friendly, pocket-sized garden.

Further information, inspirations, and how it links to the curriculum can be found in this year’s brochure. The deadline for competition entries is 5pm on Friday 25th February.

One of our themes in 2022 is The Year of Stories.  What story could a garden tell? Will your garden show a well-known story or represent a new story told by your pupils?

Check out our website for inspiration from previous years. An entry would also be a great addition to an Eco-Schools Green Flag Award application.
