@BSSHand I work in the early years & the attached is often shared to explain why we shouldn’t rush writing. Please explain what’s between the bones in a child’s hand and if the attached is true or an assumption? Are there any medical studies on writing & hand development? Thanks

"What does a developmental checklist tell you that the child in front of you cannot? It is like asking for the directions to the castle when you are stood at the entrance to the great hall." - Alison Stewart

So, I've modelled poos from the creatures in #HandasSurprise and we will track them in the woods. Then we will be learning about UK animal droppings, and how they are excellent clues as to which animals have been active nearby. Yes we will be wearing gloves for realism! #Tracks

Climbing up the slide is a good thing. Not only does it build strength and stamina, but it also causes conflict as a response from those queuing to come down. This requires the development of problem solving abilities and the younger we develop these the better #problemsolving

Published ten years after the death of its founder, this transcription of an article describing the Kindergarten System clearly shows how far ahead of his time Froebel was and that much of his ethos is what many of us aspire to today in the Early Years #Froebel #EYTwitter
