Well done to this P3 🌟 who designed a beautiful Spring flower on the iPad. This design was chosen to welcome everyone back to Term 4! 🎨📱🌸🙌

Learning Resource Service Falkirk @lrsfalkirk.bsky.social · Apr 22

Just a gentle reminder that now is a good time to start sending our resources back (if you are finished with them) rather than waiting until the last week of term. The mail van only collects every three weeks so there are only a few uplifts left.
Get cracking with the packing!

Something to think about...

@woodlandselcc.bsky.social

A national survey of play in preschool-aged children in Britain has found that from the age of two years old, girls are playing outside in nature less than boys.
