Early Years Inclusion

@linden_hampton We will miss you Linden - good luck in your new adventure 💕

Perth and Kinross are looking for a new EP to fill my post as I head off on a new adventure. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a great team, located in the heart of Scotland. It's a permanent, full time post too. Please share with your network! #twitterEPs

What a great team to join 💕

This week we are focusing on the benefits of playing outdoors! Getting outside can provide the opportunity for lots of gross and fine motor activities. Using the equipment at the park, drawing with chalk on the pavement or climbing a tree all practice these skills! 🌳🛝⚽️

Thanks to colleagues for joining the meeting this afternoon about professional learning, anticipatory support and preparing schools to welcome autistic learners in to Primary 1 in August 😊

Its not just the little ones who can benefit from relatable stories to help ease the nerves of school transitions. @scottishbktrust have a list of books about starting secondary which could make a great summer holiday read/class novel scottishbooktrust.com/book-lists/gre… #NurturePrinciple6

Nice reminder in this example from @EmilyRubin9 that #SCERTS goals always include a statement about what the communication partner will do @AffirmingScot @ESInclusionTeam

Here are a flavour of some FAQ/worries around going to secondary school & some top tips to help reassure & prepare. It is of course very common to be both nervous & excited about this next step. A big thank you to our P7s who shared their questions with us #NurturePrinciple6

🎉What's on Wednesday🎉 See below for dates for our next Sensory Processing training. Our booking system has changed; Eventbrite now only allows 25 people to sign up for a free event. If the training is saying it's full, email us at Tay.childhealthot@nhs.scot and we can book you!

The move up to primary school can bring up lots of conflicting feelings. Stories are a wonderful way to explore emotions in a safe way through the perspective of imaginative characters. @scottishbktrust have a list of helpful books ⤵️ scottishbooktrust.com/book-lists/boo… #NurturePrinciple6

@CopeccNursery A pleasure to spend time with your lovely team

What’s at the heart of communication learning? Interaction and fun! Whether you’re singing songs together, baking treats, sharing books or building a snowman… It’s fun, everyday moments like these where the magic of language learning happens.
