Today was our first visit to the residents at Cunningham House. This week Jane brought Bookbug along to join us for some songs & stories before the children shared their own Story Books! We started to get to know the residents before our next visit. #CommunityPartnerships #IntergenerationalLearning

Getting ready to welcome our new families at the ELC roadshow! 🥰

This morning in the Under 3’s we were exploring Helicopter Stories! Acting out a very hungry tiger who came to tea🐅🫖

L - “More milk”
E - “Tiger, ROAR!”
R - “Tiger”

We had our family session for the new block of Nurturing Nature today! What great fun we had with some very keen and enthusiastic parents! Roll on next week when we bring the children along for the fun too 😝 🌲

Our last cook to connect session was a celebration, we had so much fun having a little afternoon tea type snack followed by some dancing. Thanks to our families who attended, we loved making memories with you all #cooktoconnect #party

We couldn’t be prouder of these families today for their confidence up in the woods with their children ♥️🌳 They embraced the great outdoors and followed their children’s interests while exploring! The campfire was a highlight for the children today 🔥 #ChildLed #NurturingNature

What a great Family Session to start our latest block of Nurturing Nature! Thank you to one of our parents from our previous block for sharing her experience of these sessions! Lovely to get more families involved in this experience. #FamilyLearning #SharingExperiences

Had a great day joining Education Scotland’s Curriculum Improvement Cycle (CIC) Collaboration Group. Very interesting looking at how they plan to let our curriculum evolve and sharing our views and opinions on this. #LanguageAndLiteracy #EvolvingCurriculum

Jemma, Jane and Lesley joined @falkirkfroebel.bsky.social tonight to celebrate their completed Froebel in Childhood Practice Course. Well done, we are so proud of you all! #TeamRannoch #Froebelian

What a great morning spent at the woods with our families. Great team working and participation from them all! Can’t wait to have the children join us and for the real fun to begin 🌳😊 #NurturingNature

We kickstarted our new block of Nurturing Nature with a family only session. We discussed our plans and the benefits of these for their children. Our families then got stuck in and gave it all a go for themselves! We loved our families positive outlooks!! #GiveItAGo #GetOutside

Lovely to share our cluster transition through shared stories with everyone tonight. Thank you to Amanda and Jane for contributing! 🥰 It was lovely to meet passionate practitioners from around Scotland also. 📚

A very productive INSET day with #TeamRannoch, focusing on sharing our champion projects and successes. We also had time to explore improvement priorities for 25-26, using the #clarifyingcanvas tool to dig deeper into our improvement focus.

Thank you @kinnairdwaters.bsky.social for opening your doors last week to showcase all things STEM. Spaces and experiences on offer were fabulous and there was great opportunity for rich dialogue. #STEM #LookingOutwards

@eylynettew1111.bsky.social and I attended Woodburn ELC yesterday for their #LTAFest25 session on inclusive pedagogy. Great to look outwards & explore how other settings are getting it right for their wee people. Time to reflect on our practices and think about developments. @fcqiteam.bsky.social
