Scottish SPCA education resources.
Our first Scottish SPCA Adventure Tails (online learning resource pack) for primary pupils has arrived. Whilst we are not currently visiting schools, we will be releasing free online resources for pupils so we can still support teachers and parents/carers over the coming weeks. So keep checking this page and our social media channels too.

Make a dinosaur
You can make a dinosaur using paper plates or what ever you have lying around your house. Encourage the children to cut out the shapes themselves developing their fine motor skills while developing their understanding of size and shape. They are really easy to make.

Stories
The CBeebies have told the story “If I had a Dinosaur”. This links in with the above craft activity and lots of learning that had been happening in the nursery before we had to close. To access this story use the following link.

Numeracy
Counting dinosaurs within 10 and introducing the names of some of the dinosaurs. It is a really catch tune that your child will pick up very quickly.
If you have taken photos of your child doing activities you can add them and a little description of what you have been doing on to your child’s online Learning Journal. The staff regularly access these and we would love to see what you have been up to during your time off nursery.
Have a great Tuesday.
Don’t forget you can collect a lunch from the school for your child.
