Tonight I had the privilege of listening to Mrs Heggie who had been asked to present her Froebel project - Nurture with Nature Growing the seeds of Love. So incredibly proud of all Mrs Heggie’s hard work and passion to encourage our children in their gardening projects! ⭐️ @falkirkfroebel.bsky.social

Some children have been showing an interest in building houses.We have been reading the story ‘The Three Little Pigs’. Some of the children have been recreating the story using block play. Encouraging creativity, problem solving and language skills whilst storytelling. 💛 @falkirkfroebel.bsky.social

We have seen lots of creativity in block play this week. R said “let’s build the animals a house”. Children have been revisiting previous learning and sharing ideas with each other, developing their problem solving, social and communication skills. @falkirkfroebel.bsky.social #autonomouslearners
