As part of our outdoor learning P1-3 and our EYC were learning about the importance of birds in our eco-system – we made our own bird feeders to hang in the garden 🕊️. pic.twitter.com/xpisn4FXCw

Den Building
The Early Years Centre tried their hands at den building today. They explored the different materials they could use and problem solved to build the best dens. As you can see they were very successful and their smiling faces show you how much fun they had

Monster Investigation Day 1
The monster investigation continued this afternoon during our outdoor transition session. The class made monster traps to catch what had arrived at the school, using our outdoor loose parts. Such inventive ideas

Mystery Footprints
What a mysterious morning P1-3 had! They found giant footprints in the playground and did lots of theorising and investigating to decide what happened. Was it the Gruffalo, a dinosaur or a monster? They drew their ideas, wrote detective reports and searched for clues during play.
Elf School
Last week the elves challenged us to build them a school so they could learn like us. We took up the challenge and worked as a team to build them a fabulous school with desks and learning resources!

Play is the Way
Lots of play based fun over the last week, we have really been enjoying the building materials and the home corner. We even made pictures for the elves to show them how much we like having them in class. #playbased @SACPlayistheway
Wrapping Paper Fun
When the elves left us wrapping materials we had a lot of fun learning how to wrap presents and each other!

Fishing Elves
This morning the Junior Class found the elves fishing in the igloo one of the children had built. They brought them a new book to read and challenged them to use some of the other construction materials to build more igloos. #elfontheshelf2020 #creativity @SACPlayistheway
Elves Day 2
We had a magical day yesterday in the junior class. We found our elves making Elvish Art and they challenged us to make our own. Igloos and bonfires were built and some Christmas reading to chill out after all the excitement. #elfontheshelf2020 @SACPlayistheway @PlayScotland
Ice Castles and Cars
We were so inspired by our elves yesterday that we decided to build an ice castle with our blocks and then a car to get around with. @PlayScotland @SACPlayistheway #playbased #blockplay
