Lovely #WeeInspirations from @StarcatchersUK @StarcatchersCS. Make sure and give them a follow for lots of Early Years fun! @longhaugh @QVNursery #DundeeLearning

[Creative Skills @StarcatchersCS]

Our first #WeeInspirations is Story Maps. You can use this to combine visual arts with imaginative play or storytelling (or just as an excuse to get a bit of fresh air). If you do try it, let us know how it goes, what you changed and send us your photos!

This term our @LonghaughPS P1's have been learning about their emotions through Drama. If you are missing your friends and teachers just now, watch @LucysBlueDay and remember to chat to a grown up if you feel like Lucy does: https://t.co/QH7m3V5dww

@StFrancisDundee What a lovely letter, Mr Lowden. I hope the children had a fun last day today. I will be posting some creative activity ideas @aspiredundee from Monday if you can share with your school family?

[LittleLessons @littlelessons20]

Welcome to little lessons!

Starting on Monday there will be videos to help you take part in fun learning activities whilst schools are closed.

Look forward to seeing how this goes! #COVID19

Sadly, we have had to cancel our end of term ASPIRE #Drama performances @StFrancisDundee because of the current situation with COVID-19. The pupils have all worked incredibly hard and so here is a little glimpse in to what we've been up to... (1/5) #dundeelearning @DundeeCouncil

[ASPIRE Dundee @aspiredundee]

Finally, I am so proud of P6 who visited @VADundee for their #CreativeDetectives project and went on to invent 7 robots who can cook, look after the elderly, offer therapy, teach sign language, help you remember things, dance and save the world! All in a day's work! #phew (5/5)
