Our children showed great interest in building the Three Bears’ house, which led to a brilliant idea – we decided to rebuild our shelter and turn it into a Numeracy Den! 🧱🐻 A wonderful example of child-led learning and teamwork in action. #MathsWeekScot #LearningThroughPlay

It’s amazing how much learning can come from one simple woodwork activity! 🪵✏️ Children wrote the first letter of their name, counted nails, used hammers safely, and weaved yarn to form their letter – building fine motor skills and confidence. #LearningThroughPlay #woodwork #STEM

Today we harvested our nursery potatoes 🥔 The children compared sizes, counted carefully, and one child joyfully exclaimed, “It’s like a treasure hunt, guys!” 🌱✨ #EarlyYears #OutdoorLearning #NurseryLife #LearningThroughPlay

Maths is all around us – even in the sandpit! 🎂 We baked birthday cakes with 5 candles, remembered the number 0, and when we shared our cake, we discovered it could be whole, halved or quartered. #MathsWeekScot #LearningThroughPlay

Upgraded our digging area with a canopy, scales, numbers & fresh visuals. Kids loved hunting for golden nuggets—measuring, comparing, and discussing heavy/light, more/less, up/down. Great for maths talk, teamwork & curiosity! 🌟⛏️⚖️ #EYFS #OutdoorLearning #MathsTalk #PlayToLearn #EarlyYears
