Staff at the Inclusion and Wellbeing Service shared good practice at today's Learning to Achieve Marketplace which took place at Forth Valley College. There were 32 stalls! 👏 An inspiring event and an opportunity to connect with colleagues and elevate practice. #PACTFalkirk

The place was buzzing! Great to see (and hear! 😂) so many of our practitioners genuinely excited about learning, teaching and play 😊

Mission accomplished! Thank you for your support and input 👏

We are so excited to continue our play journey. Looking forward to exploring the resources with our staff, children and families! Thanks for taking the time to come and visit us, we really appreciate your support!

We had a great outdoor learning session today with Under The Trees! 🌳 🌺 🐥 🔍

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! 🎨📱🌸🙌

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!

Some children made a wonderful discovery whilst exploring in nature which provoked such rich conversations 🐸🍃💕#RealLifeExperiences

Well done, guys ^Lisa

We're building up our following. If you follow us already, pls help us by tagging others. Thank you 😊

A very productive inservice day where there was opportunity to complete mandatory training & finished off with garden developments 🪴💕 #PassionatePractitioner
