The joy of osmosis ☺️
@woodside_school a great joy is a child running up to tell me their own nature discoveries - as simple as seeing a bee in a flower, or last week one lad describing a black, green & white bird he'd seen (magpie 😊) @NatureScot #naturepassion #giveopportunity

P2 and P3 @woodside_school found signs of spring in the Wee Forest today - which prompted reflective questions - Why does this tree have white spots? Why does this tree have opposite buds and this one has alternate (dancing buds)? #enquiry #discovery #connection @NatureScot

Earth was hard as iron so P3 @woodside_school had a bird migration story indoors, then came out to the wee forest with apple food for hungry feathered friends, followed by a run-seek-find animal game, followed by excellent sliding downhill 😊 @NatureScot
