Just look at this beauty! My peony rose is showing off today with its ruffled pink petals and sweet scent. It’s taken its time but absolutely worth the wait. A wee reminder that sometimes the best things bloom when they’re good and ready. #GardeningJoy

Torrential rain, big smiles & grassy slopes turned into slides, this is what learning can look like. Outdoor play builds resilience, confidence & creativity. Whatever the weather, children deserve time to play! #ScotEduSky #EduSky

Love this hands-on approach to exploring place value from our @PlayScotland #PlayPedagogyAward school @Kinneil_PS. Using cards and base ten blocks brings numeracy to life through exploration, collaboration and deep thinking, brilliant stuff! #ScotEduSky #EduSky #PlayPedagogy

Great to see children at one of our @PlayScotand #PlayPedagogyAward schools exploring food, fairness and dignity through a visit to the Larder and Community Café. Real-life, rights-based learning that brings Article 27 to life. #PPAward #UNCRC #PlayPedagogy #ScotEduSky #EduSky
