A busy STEAM week in #jslf1. An exciting farm trip, a visit from Nurse Jay to talk about healthy eating and a visit from Mrs Elsley to show us how to bath her baby.

Spent the weekend at the #NAWE2018 conference and was introduced to the idea of dribbling (50 word stories) and drabbling (100 word stories) as a way into creative writing @AlicePenfold1 Looking forward to telling my class we are spending tomorrow dribbling! #WritingRocks

Pre-reading this article for a course ‘Leading and Managing’-John West-Burnham.
Asking the question ‘What does it mean to be an educator at the present time?’

Flight reading #eyfs
Key message so far- The value of talk and it’s influence on academic, social, emotional and mental wellbeing. Talk must be a priority!

[Martha Unwin @martha_unwin]

Totally agree. Now to follow my own advice and get on that bike to work come rain or shine! #eyfs #motivational

[Mathew Tobin @Mat_at_Brookes]

Sat down with my 3 year old after dinner and scribed his stories. He got so much pleasure from telling them and drawing parts. You could see him wanting to play more with the narrative as the writing progressed. We re-read them at bedtime.

[BSN Leidschenveen @BSNJSL]

What a fun way to spend time in the sunshine- learning about colour mixing and practising our mark making! @BSNJSL @Karren_vanZoest #JSLF1

[BSN Leidschenveen @BSNJSL]

What happens when you mix powder paint, water and Foundation One?! So far, beautiful colour explorations! @BSNJSL #JSLF1

[Martha Unwin @martha_unwin]

EDIT: Mis-identification on my part (thanks Dad!) It is actually a Poplar Hawk Moth.

[Martha Unwin @martha_unwin]

A child in my class (F1) found a Hummingbird Hawk Moth on our playground. Magic moment to see and hear him sharing his find with children, staff and parents all around the school. Prompted whole class research and ideas for next week. #teachingmagic #magicmoments @BSNJSL

[Martha Unwin @martha_unwin]

Also, spot the eggs! Beautiful tiny green pearls. Perhaps next week we will have caterpillars...🐛

[Martha Unwin @martha_unwin]

@CatcherSass 🤣 Indeed!
