#UoEPGDEp is almost over! Enjoyed sharing my practitioner inquiry today, last assignment officially done ✅ so interesting to hear about other inquiries too, great ideas to think about when we all have our own class in August! @MorayHouse #primaryteaching #practitionerinquiry

A creative couple of days getting stuck in to STEAM! Lots of reflections an takeaways, loved the chance to explore materials and make connections with poetry and visual art #steam #learnthroughart #reflections #inquirybasedlearning #askquestions #collaborate #UoEPGDEp #soilprints

Really enjoyed putting this session together for our #UoEPGDEp cohort! Great lesson ideas from these 2 picturebooks. Despite the cold we had fun demonstrating how we can create a learning environment outdoors for literacy #literacyintheoutdoors #outdoorlearning #cfe #experiences

Bluer than blue 🔵 #edinburghdrift with @Attention2place Noticing the little things on a wander around Edinburgh and thinking about the benefits of Outdoor Learning #UoEPGDEp #primaryteaching #outdoorlearning

First day back @MorayHouse began with a mindful walk to St Giles cathedral & Tron Kirk as part of RME. Thinking about the stories of people, buildings, communities and faiths - discovering lots of IDL opportunities #UoEPGDEp #storytelling #primaryteaching #curiosity #LfS

Had such a lovely Observation Week getting to know P1 😀 really important time spent building relationships and excited to go back! Reminder: don't let them guess your age on your birthday... 44 is not what you want to hear when turning 30 😂😂😂 #UoEPGDEp #primaryteaching

That feeling when your first #UoEPGDEp assignment is submitted ✅ Safe to say it was a rollercoaster at times 😂 now to relax over the weekend before observation week in p1, so excited!

@Jan17Finlay_EYO Jan this was so powerful and moving, beautifully written ❤️👏

#UoEPGDEp I have been reflecting on Social Justice this week. I wrote a peom ‘Being me’. I was honoured that it was shown at a lecture this week. I wanted to be anonymous. Now I feel brave enough to share that it was me. I have nothing to fear but an important message to share🌍

@MrsNapier210291 Love your one in pink! 😍 🐘

@MissRoss_Ed I had no doubt yours would be amazing 🤩

#UoEPGDEp workshop prep for today was to make a towel elephant. Thankfully I was up to the tusk... #pgde #primaryteaching #CFE

@danielaphilos These are brilliant, thank you very much! 👍😍

@MissRoss_Ed @MorayHouse We created teaching resources with the National Galleries to extend thinking and exploring art. nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artist… and nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artist… if you're interested!

Really engaging visit to the National Portrait Gallery yesterday - loved exploring activities we can use to get children thinking about expressive arts🎨 So many links with other curricular areas and really keen to explore this further #UoEPGDEp #primaryteaching @MorayHouse

Some reflections on curriculum for excellence this evening💭 consolidating what I know so far, asking questions and searching for answers #UoEpgdeP #primaryteaching #edutwitter #EducationMatters

@MrsNapier210291 @MorayHouse Ahh looking good! 😍

When you are set a challenge to follow the instructions on a YouTube video to make a towel Elephant 🐘 Reflections well underway ready to discuss in class on Tuesday! 👍#UoEPGDEp @MorayHouse

Mini lesson went well! Was great to start putting some ideas into practice - Lots to think about and reflect on now going forward 💭 Highlight of the day: learning the offside rule in football! #UoEPGDEp #primaryteaching @MorayHouse

Finishing up the first week of #UoEPGDEp with some reflections on the kind of teacher/learner I want to be - what a week it's been! Excited for what's ahead #pgde #primaryteaching #whyteach

Day3 on the #UoEPGDEp: brain feeling a little stretched after a brilliant workshop, but in the best way! Getting critical and thinking deeper about the purpose of education and what makes a good teacher - meaningful discussions and lots to reflect on @MorayHouse #getintoteaching

@MrsNapier210291 @DrSueChapman @MorayHouse @MissAdamsUofE So much fun!

Today, we were set a task from @DrSueChapman to find our bearings around the campus @MorayHouse We did this in wee groups and what a laugh we had! As you can see, our group made the task...memorable! This was us finding a study space...@MissRoss_Ed @MissAdamsUofE #UoEPGDEp

A fun day 2 @MorayHouse getting our bearings around campus, meeting new people and learning about the @Place2Be partnership on #UoEPGDEp @MissAdamsUofE @MrsNapier210291

@MissCGreig Day 2 and learning this very quickly haha!
