We held a highly successful STEM curriculum evening this week which Mrs Tulloch expertly ran. Thank you to all families who came out to learn about our approach to STEM at Springfield and Bonnytoun. The marble challenge proved a big hit with families competing against each other to make the fastest run!
Did you know that STEM starts in our nursery through our block play and use of loose parts? We are proud of our approach to block play and this week worked with the authority to hold a successfully training session on the benefits of this type of play in early childhood development. We had early years practitioners attending from both council run and private nurseries.
Here are some of our nursery children engaging in block play and drawing their designs.
P2A and Miss Mudd worked hard to deliver a lovely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed assembly this morning. We loved seeing the children all dressed up and performing their lines with confidence!
Here are the achievements for this week:
Well done to M and G in P1 for coming along with the products of their free play. M made a knight’s outfit and G made a super model. Free play and allowing children to express themselves in early years is part of our Play Strategy which Mrs Kennedy has helped to lead all year. Thank you Mrs Kennedy for your efforts.
Have a happy weekend!
Love Miss Baillie x💫
