50 Dangerous Things camp parents - scroll down the thread to the the Issu version of this research to read it online - you’ll recognise lots of the reasons you entrust your children to us each summer ♥️

[Professor Helen Dodd @DrHelenDodd]

I wanted to bring together some of the things we found during the first phase of my #UKRIFIF research about #play & #mentalhealth in a way that is useful and accessible

And here it is...

Always a thrill to nab a front cover - and to kick off the year with one is a particular joy.

PLL Jules and PLL Felicity are writing about making the most of the special nature of outdoors to develop communication and language in early years.

January is all about Oracy.

@OPAL_CIC @IngridW62548287 Well done Crowlands!

[Play Wales @PlayWales]

There's only a few weeks left to tell us how you use the Playwork Principles.

If you provide staffed play provision, in whatever setting, we want to hear from you. Please complete the short online survey - it's only 4 questions - by 31 December: https://t.co/gZINDEIrbp

Festive season commences! Can you and your children make it outdoors every day to play or learn in December?

The Annual PLL advent calendar has a few ideas to get you going.

And play in schools!

20% of the school day and probably the most important part for children’s physical and mental well-being!

Looking forward to getting stuck into this!

Delighted to have the latest in our maths outdoors series as the cover feature for this month’s @NurseryWorld 🥰

What’s really fascinating is that our cover star is @FRoutdoorEd’s granddaughter - and Felicity herself was the cover girl in 1960.

Exploring the world from the perspective of a 2 year old #Urban95 at the #NatPlayConf a really thought provoking and informative session by Jen Rutherford from @LeedsCC_News

Enjoying every moment of the #PlayConference so far. Great workshops, inspirational delegates, seaside, DIY cafetières and a morning run ON THE FLAT! What’s not to love?

[Play Learning Life CIC @playlearninglif]

Delighted to be speaking at this event and chairing this panel.
Who's going? Hope to see you there. https://t.co/3BmQdC6l60

Definite signs of Spring in the #SchoolGrounds today. Y1 and Y2 found buds, bright green leaves, hibernating newts, Steve the Robin and his mate, teeny tiny pond skaters and a single solitary snowdrop.

@londonplay Current government: "Right at the core of our mission will be a bold new ambition to raise the healthiest generation of children in our history".

[Play Learning Life CIC @playlearninglif]

@londonplay Dismal. Unbelievable that after all these years of campaigning for free play and learning beyond the classroom, governments can still do this. After all we know about the health and well-being benefits of outdoor play. In the middle do a childhood obesity crisis. I despair.

This is going to be such a fab series and what’s better - it’s co-produced by me and Felicity Robinson @FRoutdoorEd

NEW #STEM #outdoors series this January: 'For centuries, scientists and artists have told us that experimentation is just playfulness in another guise...let's jump in together' @playlearninglif https://t.co/m6pW2iYy9g

[Play Learning Life CIC @playlearninglif]

@AmandaSherratt1 @NurseryWorld Looks intriguing!

[Play Learning Life CIC @playlearninglif]

Marking #EnablingEnvironment award entries - some absolute corkers! But, #EarlyYears settings, EVERY outdoor space is accessible in 'all weathers' - you just have to open the door and go out in the right clothing. Carpeting in fake grass does not make outdoors 'all weather'.

@ANGELACHARDING Can't wait to see the work that emerges. Quick question if I can be so cheeky - will you have the Orford Hare as a hardback notebook anytime soon? Rathlin Hares was my @HaresHampshire notebook and am starting a new project soon and am after one with lighthouses <and> hares...
