I do love seeing children get excited about taking part in creating their play areas! Skills being learnt here “just drawing” fine motor, hand - eye coordination, imagination, social skills! A reason I love being an EYP! #EYP #P1 #play #creatingplayareas #learningthroughplay

Open University course completed 😄 #alwayslearning #knowledgeispower #refreshingyourmemory #remindingmyselfwhatiknow

🍂 Hello Autumn 🍂 The start of our Autumnal tuff tray, more to add along the way 😊 Lovely Autumn colours, lots to learn, make a scarecrow & threading! Lots of fun today! #autumn #tufftray #learningthroughplay #primary1 #seasons

When you woke up this morning and didn’t expect bird rescue to be on the daily plan 😂 This wee one flew indoors, was scared, safely caught and safely flew away once outside! Expect the unexpected 🐦‍⬛🪶 #birdrescue #allinadayswork #schoollife #eyp #whatnext

For me professional development isn’t going up the ladder but stepping to the side to a different one. By doing Seasons for Growth and becoming a “companion” and an ELSA, I’ve found that helping children in this role with these programmes is what I really enjoy doing 🥰

When the small things make your day 🥰 When your part of the Primary 1 team, work with 2 teachers & are in NO WAY the tallest but a P1 girl draws the 3 of you and makes you the tallest 🤭 Life goals 😂 #winning #throughchildrenseyes #littlemoments #P1

What a week! Preparing for P1 Nativity, Christmas lunch & making Christmas cards! Ended the week with a lovely surprise from the P7s. Always willing to lend a hand and it’s lovely to be appreciated 🥰 #nativity #christmas #feelinghappy #christmastimeinachool

Wee appreciation post for this group of Primary 7 girls! My lunchtime buddies in the dinner hall to help with the Primary 1s! An amazing group of girls who set a great example of respect, responsibility, kindness and of course good manners #grateful #p7buddies #appreciation #team

Every day I always have a wee voice saying “Miss Bain can I be your helper” Yes, yes you can! We’re creating a new role play and we needed signs made & these girls were eager to help! #roleplay #creating #P1 #play

💥 Superhero World 💥 “Miss Bain can we make superhero world” “Yes we can but what do we need?” “Buildings, cars, night time, day, stars and planes” “Go make them and let’s put it together” So they did and we did it 😁 #primary1 #play #playistheway #creatingourplay

Some of the children have been talking about doing science experiments. So we started off with flowers and food colouring! We talked about what we had to do and what we think might happen! What will happen on Monday when we go back to school? #P1 #science #experiments

As part of Safer Internet Day the Primary 1s listened to a story about “The Pop Up Gremlins” and then did some activities on the book Digital Leaders DycePrimary1 #SaferInternetDay2024

Best part of my day was a p1 learner draw a picture of me 🥰 I’ve got my bag I wear, my watch, the right hair colour & my favourite colour of jumper 🤭 Then he added my name & I think he nailed it with “Miss Pain” I’m sure some would agree 😂 #EYP #P1 #drawing #mademesmile #LOL

When the best part of your day or even week was a visit in Primary 1 from a tortoise 🐢 Thanks to one of the children’s parents we got to enjoy this experience! #FridayFunday #tortoisevisit #mademyday

When sometimes you feel like what you do on the daily at work doesn’t make a difference and question whether this is still the right path for you. A kind word from a parent can make all the difference. A little more self belief perhaps #EYP #P1EYP

✨Primary 1✨ Experiments ~ Rainbows, growing a shark & fish! Art&Craft ~ Adding different tools to the painting area & a makeover at the craft area that resulted in some amazing art! Dinosaur Land ~ Making a volcano for our small world! #P1 #science #creative #smallworld #EYP

#MusicalMarch Some lovely tunes being made by these girls using there harmonicas! We made harmonicas using lollipop sticks, greaseproof paper and elastic bands! Simple & fun! #expedition #crafty #musical #instruments #primary1

“It’s not a box, it’s a BATCAVE” When a group of P1s wanted a batcave to add to superhero world, that’s just what we did! We took a cardboard box and made one along with superhero’s! Taking ideas for their play and turning it into reality! #P1 #play #EYP #creative #notjustabox

🐣 It’s the easter holidays 🐣 Time to rest & reset! Fingers crossed for some sunshine 🤞🏼☀️ A chick craft to end the week with! Happy holidays everyone! #easterholidays #term3complete #easter #eastercraft
