When the students set up a birthday surprise for one of their Nurture Teachers 🥹 (not me!)....
So impressed by their empathy, leadership, teamwork and creativity!
@StUltansSchool for a @DCUCMS meet up and I am blown away by the creativity on display and the expertise of the children. So incredibly impressed with lots of ideas to take away.
Starting our days with bubbles because returning to school isn't always the easiest of things 🫠
Would recommend to a friend ☺️

Yesterday, I was listening to some of my heroes and experts in their field speaking at the Nurture Conference @NurturingSchs@connect_rp@TINTeducation
Today, I was sitting with some of my heroes back in my Nurture room and school.
And boy, oh boy, did both days feed my soul!
Such a privilege to have Niall Muldoon @OCO_ireland deliver our keynote address. His office works to give voice to children & young people across Ireland who are often not listened to, a v important aspect of nurturing practice in schools. #NurtureConf23@NurturingSchs
@LucyCMannion from @TINTeducation talking about the importance of using a Trauma-Informed Approach at #nurtureconf2023 to provide a more inclusive school environment, increasing connection & engagement.Moving towards equity where all children get what they need.
They really need to, Sandra. I would say the same for restorative practice and other trauma-informed approaches. Practical supports would make a huge difference to the lives of our children and to the adults in schools.
But what if you want to go to all of breakout rooms? 😆
The best kind of dilemma!
Really looking forward to the Nurture Conference next week!
Some of my favourite Nurture and R.P. voices in there, topped off with a splash of Polyvagal Theory! 🍒 😋
@LukeCareyLondon Nature spaces are great for thi (possibly with an adult accessible but not inferring). Like at forest schools! Will be interested to hear your reflections and discussions re: parenting
@LukeCareyLondon Thanks for sharing. Very interested in this research! Not a parent. But.. I consider risky-play and child-led play an essential part of educational settings. Would recommend parents to seek out and support educational environments that value risky-play.
