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

Brilliant to see one of our #PlayPedagogyAward schools bringing science to life through hands-on exploration! P6/5 investigating air resistance with parachutes, real curiosity, real learning, and a perfect example of learning through play. #MorePlayPlease #PlayEveryday

Lanark goes medieval on Sat 3rd May, 11–3! A FREE day full of play, imagination and history – from knight battles to dragons, games, music and more. A brilliant way for children to explore and learn through play in the heart of the town! #ScotEduSky #EduSky #ScottishHistory

Love this! Those erumpent buds (thank you Susie Dent!) are the perfect symbol for the energy bursting from your seasons wall and your wee learners. Spring cleaning and life skills wrapped into caring for the environment, just brilliant! #ScotEduSky #EYSky #EduSky #Froebel #PlayMatters #MorePlay
