Coming to the end of an Education Scotland (HMIE) Inspection... feedback tomorrow...

Tune in for some reflections on the process of a short inspection of an outdoors-based early years space.

(Spoiler: a pretty positive experience with acknowledgements and caveats!).

Again let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’.
Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to & detrimental to genuine bee saving.

@allartmarkets Thanks!! Two years of a LOT of stress. Finally, a good night's sleep 😴

Thankfully, councillors understood the importance of Riverside for the whole community 🌳🌻🌥🌧🎓

[Luke Addison @LukeJAddison]

@LoveOutdoorLea1 Thank you!!! 😊

[Luke Addison @LukeJAddison]

The planning department fully support us but councillors have been targeted in a campaign by a neighbour who moved in next to Riverside. We need your help to show the impact we have had over the years and convince councillors that our wonderful setting should remain open! 3/3

Despite our long history in our community, and the impact of our work with children and families (as well as the many research, training, policy and publication contributions over the years) we are facing potential closure from West Lothian councillors. 2/3

I spoke to three Edinburgh University students who say their hopes and spirits have been 'broken' by repeated disruptions to their education over the last four years, with the uni's marking boycott response the latest 'slap in the face' https://t.co/GG61Rmpf8y

So simple, yet so much going on here. Great for both children and adults to have the experience of reading to/with our nursery dog available to us everyday for the last almost 11 years. After some time unwell, it's like therapy to spend this time!

[Luke Addison @LukeJAddison]

@LynnMcNair @mhses Amazing Busra! Congrats 👏

[Luke Addison @LukeJAddison]

@LynnMcNair @FroebelTrust @froebelfutures What an amazing presentation from @froebelfutures participant! This project from Greece, bringing Froebelian principles into high school with pedagogical documentation is highly emotive! @FroebelTrust

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

[Luke Addison @LukeJAddison]

@FalkirkFroebel @froebelfutures @LynnMcNair So many deeply considered ideas from Falkrirk practitioners committed to meaningful change for themselves, their settings, and the families and communities they live with. Can't wait to see how the research proposals develop over the next few weeks!
