Who is taller than a metre?

Chn are guided by the responsive engagement of the adult.

They then explore the height of their buildings at the construction. Using the language bigger/smaller/taller than a m.

A wonderful example of how two areas can enhance the learning. The children use the blocks to create their own story settings and scenes for the small world characters they choose.

Well done to kids at West Johnstone Early Learning and Childcare Centre for cleaning up the Rannoch Woods and Thomas Shanks Park as part of the #MillionMileMission. They've done an amazing job.

West Johnstone kids are challenging themselves by learning as they play in the woods. Mum Ashley said her son Rueben is so excited to go to forest kindergarten every day.

Ashley said: “He runs in to nursery every day as he is so excited!”
