SAC Early Years

With the start of the new school year a few people have asked me about planning digitally📒. I think OneNote is the best tool out there for planning and it's free with a microsoft account. I have some OneNote planner templates and video tutorials here: mrmorrison.co.uk/resources/digi…

Marked the South Ayrshire Froebel and Childhood Practice assignments this weekend - what a pleasure. The passion for the child shone through every piece. Emotional, heartfelt, and deeply committed work. The children and families are very lucky indeed. @SACEarlyYears @MorayHouse
