@MissCunninghamJ Social worker or a Crime Scene Investigator 🕵️‍♀️ Both jobs I would love for completely different reasons!

Schools will be reopening in the new academic year; some things might look different, but others won’t change - making sure children are healthy & safe, and giving them the best learning experience possible. #InThisTogetherDubai #NewDaysNewWays

@MissC_EY Outdoor play should be different to what they can experience indoors. You can have a sand table indoors... so I would go with the sandpit 🥰

@DrHeery How are they calculating these figures? The screen time feature on the iPad at the end of the day? My children (4 and 2) are learning 12 hours a day. From the minute they wake up until they fall asleep! #playislearning Let’s hope that’s where the high numbers are from!

@PrimaryAly @MrsAEYFS @Toriaclaire Hanging out the washing 😀 Resources should be available for all. One hand to open the peg, using the pincer grip! Great for fine motor and gross motor too. Even my arms ache after hanging all the washing out! 😂

[Mrs Woods @inquiryandplay]

@FiMorrison2 @inquiry_play_agency I mostly post about early years 😀 Lovely community on Instagram, you are going to love it 💕

[Mrs Woods @inquiryandplay]

Made my #virtualclassroom. A digital library 😀 #edutwitter

@jackie_becher I think it’s important to observe how they are engaging with the objects and gaining a deeper understanding of what meaning it has. My son keeps playing with puppets. As I have been observing him I have noticed that he is currently using it as a means to express his emotions.

[Mrs Woods @inquiryandplay]

Just remember that at the end of this the children won’t remember the activities you set them. They will remember how you were there for them and supported them #edutwitter

@kjinquiry I think I have one foot in each camp, rocking from side to side! I go from totally overwhelmed to thankful to stressed to appreciative to frustrated to relaxed - all in about 2 minutes, all day long!
