Great idea in @heraldscotland ! There's no evidence that homework benefits primary children, but a great deal that play (esp active, outdoor, social play) benefits them a great deal. @Ross_Greer @jamiegreeneUK @DJohnsonMSP @neilgraysnp @BeatriceWishart heraldscotland.com/news/19226508.…


We created this lovely Playground Divider for @SJPS_Nursery and @BroomhousePs with support from @DadsRockOrg A great way to brighten up the playground and help keep the kids Covid safe.
