The pudding is clearly one that requires a Long March to the kitchen and must be shared equally among the masses (no matter how many raisins are in it).
Incredible block play! You can really see them testing the mathematical relationships here. That hand-measure is such a brilliant display of Froebelian 'Unity', understanding the parts and the whole through discovery. #BlocksRock
Join us at our next drop-in session to have a chat about your next steps with the Education Scotland #STEMnation award programme. We can help you evaluate current practice and draw up a plan for future actions.

Fantastic presentation from one of our Froebel in Childhood Practice students. Thank you for sharing you work. #Froebel
A wonderful demonstration of the ways children incorporate their experiences in their play. These are children who know the story well, they have heard it many times and they are using what they know to re-tell the story. So many important skills being developed here #Froebel #ELCBeingMe
