@derbyhighbury Hi - my daughter is starting with you in September. You're not going to follow this core subject only and sit facing the front nonsense coming from the government are you? She chose you because you were super friendly and did dance...!

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@jan_dubiel anyway, need to get back to work! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow evening with @SwailesRuth

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@jan_dubiel Oh yes, super agree with that. The environment is the teacher, and it is either seeded by the adult, or it is what the society/community provides. Young children see and hear so much it could be said we are teaching them all the time in an indirect way.

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@jan_dubiel something like non-phonetic words would be much much harder to understand without support. I think, I feel as if my understanding is not 100% definite here...
From experience though, there is a huge amount of learning going on once the environment was right in EY

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@jan_dubiel Yeah, I know what I think it means, but twitter is a bit restrictive. I think one viewpoint of taught being something (skill/knowledge) that couldn't be gained without direct instruction could be useful to frame this. Riding a scooter could be figured out by a 2-3yr old, but

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@jan_dubiel whole body movement and coordination. It can be described by an adult, but never directly taught. In your poll I would happily argue that child led learning can include all of the other options. Not to discount the scaffolding and support of an adult in this at all! 2/2

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@jan_dubiel 1) I like this one as it cannot be taught, it has to be learned through experience. The desire to do this will come from the child, so human nature, the drive to explore and discover is a catalyst. It is also building on skills and experiences - balance, sense of direction, 1/2

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@Theplayacademy @Sue_Cowley Human nature often makes it easier to doubt yourself than back yourself, but this time you should definitely back yourself!

[Jeremy Clarke @JeremyEClarke]

@Theplayacademy @Sue_Cowley Questioning your own practice is always healthy, but do keep in mind that those asking the questions don't know your children, the relationships you have with them, your social context, the parent's situations etc. Only you know this :)
