How lovely is this entrance way in @KeppochN ? The countdown to Christmas is incidental but it’s there ! @GlasgowLEL

Exciting ice outdoors @GreenTreesSLT with the risk assessors keeping us all safe. @GlasgowLEL

What is Learning for Sustainability?

We’ll be sharing a new series of short videos and practice examples to help answer this! Watch this space.

For now, here's a sneak preview of practitioners from Oakgrove Primary School discussing how LfS is at the heart of what they do.

@Cr10054075Colin I don't do facebook Colin but I will miss your tweets. I understand your decision and wish you all the very best in your sunny life. You were a wonderful boss to a very lost me 16 years ago and there are still days I say "Colin Crawford always said...."

@EducationScot @KeppochN Maybe for the beds in the Gruffalo Garden?

I’m really liking these new area books @HelensleaNurse1
That info would be really helpful on your first day in an area. @GlasgowLEL

Okay I admit it. Aditi’s picture is much more arty than mine

What do you do when you run out of table? You move it to the floor! Lots of big arm movements @GreenTreesSLT today. @GlasgowLEL

[Lynn Orchard @Lynn_Orchard_]

I can’t decide what to do first @GreenTreesSLT today.A cosy story, giant bubbles or exciting painting with flowers @GlasgowLEL

@ajcorrigan I hope it can be used affectionately because my sons are dunderheids, dumplings, doughballs and toerags all in a "wanny"

I'm at @HelensleaNurse1 today and I've just witnessed the biggest donation to a nursery foodbank I have ever seen. The donor is anonymous but if its you thank you. Children learn better with full tummies.

@eyfsteacher_ @EYTagteam I believe "most important" can be different for parents and teachers. Often for teachers its about learning and progress but for parents that comes after, are they happy? Do they have friends and even do they eat at lunchtime?

[Lynn Orchard @Lynn_Orchard_]

@ajcorrigan When I was at teacher training uni a wonderful tutor called Anne Neil had a slide explaining "head full of mince"

@PikemanFlc Lovely to see the staff member enjoying the puddle alongside the children (whilst at the same time risk assessing and demonstrating and approving behaviours)

[Lynn Orchard @Lynn_Orchard_]

@CloverbankN @GlasgowLEL My pleasure, as always.
