IT’S hard to believe the school holidays are nearly here... especially after three months of having children at home.
The run up to the summer holidays also means it’s nearly the end of our Home Times series, which has been running throughout lockdown with advice and tips from Glasgow’s education experts.
Today the Leaders of Early Learning are taking over the pages with ideas for what to do to keep learning a part of daily play for little ones.
Now we're allowed out to the park for picnics, there's an idea to make numbers into a game as you eat outdoors.
After your picnic have a scavenger hunt in the park.
