This was a year ago tomorrow! Wonderful day at Sailors' Reading Room in Southworld teaching #WGSebald workshop for @SainsburyCentre @scvaLearning. I value these experiences even more in retrospect #SaveTheArts

@MattHutchings10 @jonnybid How about Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. It has adventure and humour (Sputnik is an alien and everyone except the ten-year old hero of the book somehow sees Sputnik as a dog) but also tackles big issues (being a looked-after child, dementia care).

Amazing & persuasive research by Abigail Hackett , Maggie MacLure & Sarah McMahon questioning 'the language gap' and the whole model of language that underpins early years policy and pedagogy. https://t.co/sK7FIEw8Om #earlyyears #languagegap #materialityoflanguage

@gem_heritage is sharing the EY collaborations brought together by @NLWallis @katejnoble @FitzMuseumEduca and ourselves: https://t.co/W9OnTT53Bx First up is a film from @KateHFellows on raising educational attainment for young children. Look out for extensive cake metaphors!

Rach Anstey-Sanders (artist, teacher, Learning Programme Manager) writes on UEA Community Blog about creative play enabling us to adapt to 'the challenges in changing times. And ... to create a space to breathe in times that can seem suffocating' https://t.co/IpU6PixDrg

In the film, Stephanie Davis, Assistant Community Curator, Lotherton Hall, says 'Any quality work ... always comes from commitment and a willingness to befriend and to be patient with people. People are what make objects valuable, what people think of objects.' Wise words.

Can't wait to welcome student visits back as soon as we can. In the meantime, we've made teacher's packs of looking, drawing and thinking tasks in response to the collection. Three packs: KS1-2, KS3-4 & KS5. Email [email protected] and we'll send one over! #MuseumFromHome

@gem_heritage @thinkingmuseum @Tropenmuseum using a different mode of communication can also help thinking. @KatePahl describes how young children's meaning making 'rests on a complex sea of play, talk, writing, drawing and modelling' #EdSkillsShare #GEM

@gem_heritage @thinkingmuseum @Tropenmuseum What #thinkingroutines did you use at @Tropenmuseum with the young learners?

@gem_heritage @thinkingmuseum I this earlier https://t.co/tbxymHtxot to find out about the approach. Can we adapt 'see - think - wonder' approach for families at home? One of the effects of a museum is a framing device - it makes certain things significant. Harder to do at home.

@museumhour Many thanks for hosting. A lot of useful exchange and ideas and resources. Signing out. #museumhour

@museumhour @gem_heritage @engagevisualart Following @KateHFellows 's description: closure could be time to build stronger partnerships across public sector. Making family provision resilient to the inevitable future stresses of slow economy and uncertain funding.#museumhour
