Another a day in a primary school confirms that there is no logical explanation for the miracle that occurs during Y1 - bridging F2 to Y2. Amazing stuff - All Hail Y1 Teacher-Wizards 👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥

@87History It’s so tough Kate. I think many people are really suffering, especially those who weren’t able to get home in the summer. ❤️❤️

So many international teachers/expats are really struggling knowing they won’t be able to go home & see their families this Christmas 😢

@TeacherTaylorS @FiJulie @kathy Just search Early Years TV

@EYFSLou @FiJulie @kathy How do I find these Lou?

An inspiring episode of Early Years TV with @FiJulie talking about transition to Year One. Thank you @Kathy brodie! Putting the child and their well-being at the centre of everything we do is particularly crucial during these times❤️

@larrainesharri3 Yes we use this. We send it home as one of our wordless books at the beginning of the year in FS2. Love it!

Has anyone read this. Window by Jeannie Baker? It’s a great picture book as different generations look through the same window.

@annaelacey @RISabudhabi Good luck Anna! Hope we can hook up sometime next year 😄

Last night was all about first day nerves. This morning was all about trying to contain my excitement for my new role. Cannot wait to get to Abu Dhabi and join the team at @RISabudhabi 😊

Really enjoyed listening to these inspiring ladies this evening. Thank you @WomenedM @EstherMDaniels @NatashaHilton3

@BSMuscatFS2 @BsM @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri @musicandmove This blew me away and made me cry! (Happy tears)

Our annual EYFS #PeaceDay honoured remotely. Emanating hope, kindness & reflection. The children shared what made them feel @peace- chocolate ice cream & cuddles. Recipe for #contentment? ❤️✌️🌈 @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri @JulesEYFS @EarlyExcellence @EYFSLou

@nunuharris11 @ElizabethJarman @kathybrodie I love the way the provision evolves every year in our setting. I really like her ideas for taking the time to evaluate what you have and where your ‘dead spaces’ are.

@EYFSLou @ElizabethJarman @kathybrodie Listening to her right now! So excited to be revamping our provision in my reception year group! So many inspiring people out there.

Great to listen to @ElizabethJarman on the Early Years Summit with @kathybrodie. Always so inspiring and thought provoking, encouraging deep reflection on how learning environments continually evolve to suit the needs of the different learners and cohorts.

@TeacherTaylorS Yes I agree. It has big implications for the development of the prime areas, much of which relates to social interaction. I love Julie Fisher who wrote this article ❤️

@EYFSLou Tag me in anything you think would be useful for a KS1 novice like me Lou! The start of the new year is going to be absolutely crucial and the more prepared we are to meet emotional and social needs (never mind academic) the better.

This looks really useful!

We made some Greek mythical creature shadow puppets last week. The children impressed us with their creativity and ingenuity!
