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

@Stronty2 @edinburghcastle @EdCastleConcert Just don’t get it! Want to drink - sit in a bar. Show some bloody respect for the artists and fellow audience members! Wouldn’t be allowed to enter during a piece in a theatre - should’ve had the same expectations.

@MsNursery @edinburghcastle @EdCastleConcert Well said. Many adults disgraced themselves this evening. They either have ADHD, alcoholism or both. Get to a concert on time and sit, listen and enjoy.

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!

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 ❤️

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. antiracisted.scot/early-level

Great selection of picture books to use as mirrors or windows into others' ways of being... #beingme #reading #storytime #earlychildhood #neurodiversity @scottishbktrust scottishbooktrust.com/book-lists/pic…

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

@MissEmmaTurner Now for boiled eggs…

I’m not bragging but I’ve successfully taught all my nursery class to peel tangerines themselves. Not one asked me to peel one today. I usually start them off then say continue. I even heard a child who was adamant she couldn’t NOW tell her friend. ‘You can do it!’ 🍊😌

@AaronTeamEC @Keir_Starmer @liambyrnemp @wesstreeting Healing thoughts x

My dad is in a critical condition. However he may have had a slight chance if we hadn’t been told that he would have to wait up to 2-4 hours for an ambulance. 999 call and we are being told no ambulances. @Keir_Starmer @liambyrnemp @wesstreeting my heart is breaking.
