A thoughtfully chosen book and a basket of simple natural materials provided hours of creativity….Often it’s just about giving space and time to slow down and be. #creativity #loosepartplay #slowpedagogy #nature #outdoors #earlyyears #froebel

Sitting in the grounds of @edinburghcastle watching Einaudi. He’s fantastic - the audience abysmal! Close the bars @EdCastleConcert and stop the eternal comings and goings up and down the stairs. Totally disrespectful to the performers and those who want to savour the event!

RT @MichaelRosenYes: He was right. Every word of it.

R showed us how responsible and knowledgeable she is when it comes to sorting and recycling the rubbish. Global citizenship and sustainability starts with the simple things! #earlyyears #sustainability #recycling #globalcitizenship @inchlairELCC

It was so lovely for R to show leadership as she guided me around the nursery, sharing her learning and inviting me to plant flowers together. Community building at best! #earlyyears #froebel #community #stayandplay.

Thank you so much to Tricia the florist @Morrisons Falkirk for this beautifully created bridal bouquet. Simply gorgeous ❤️

If you’re looking for some bite-size cpd for #earlyyears, there’s a few nuggets on here! All designed for reflection and action…💡#earlychildhood #play #education.

A stick can be a mark-making tool too! This one was used to scratch, roll, print, and drip paint onto the canvas. R says, “I like using my stick because it helps me do tiny painting and I can do it slowly”. #earlyyears #nature #creativity #expression #markmaking @inchlairELCC

A curiosity about maps led us to the library, where we found books that showed us different types of maps. R created her own that showed the important places in her life! #community #maths #markmaking #earlyyears @inchlairELCC

What a gorgeous story to read with children as you explore the concept of slowing down. Would be a lovely provocation to facilitate a reflection and gain some insights. #beingme #froebel #slowpedagogy #earlyyears #earlychildhood

Thank you to @ScotdecLearning for this comprehensive resource to support educators reflect on curriculum, experiences and interactions. Lovely ways to engage #earlyyears children as we embrace inclusivity.

Great selection of picture books to use as mirrors or windows into others' ways of being. #beingme #reading #storytime #earlychildhood #neurodiversity @scottishbktrust .

Connecting with nature, dev global citizenship AND nurturing an envelop schema. R was curious about why some parts were covered and some not. Cue a book purchase to continue this inquiry… .@inchlairELCC #nature #froebel #childdevelopment

RT @SachaPowell1: Have you done / are you doing a Froebel Trust endorsed course? Bursaries available to attend an international conference….

Great site for educators and employers looking to get skilled with their understandings of dyslexia #dyslexia #education #cpd.

Have enjoyed digging deeper into the Froebel approach and making connections with my practice over the years! Looking for ways to extend and take this further. #earlyyears #froebel #pedagogy #earlychildhoodeducation

RT @SueAtkins: Studies show that excessive #screentime for children 0-5 can lead to speech delays and social difficulties. Let’s take actio….

Schemas flip too - e.g envelop/reveal. A yeti hunt was a thrill for R who ‘reveals’ the hiding yeti. She also shows she can match digits on the poster to sheet, using ‘x’ to mark it off. Schemas, mark-making and maths unite. Joy!.@inchlairELCC #earlyyears #childdevelopment

@inchlairELCC. R would like to bring the dough and dumpling press to Nursery tomorrow to share with friends….
