HI Joley ,

Love the hedgehog ideas and they cover all the prime areas of learning and development. To even further develop your ideas more detail around texture (sensory)
could be valuable in supporting and scaffolding language” prickly, spiky, smooth etc

Hi Arelene,

What a wonderful resource you have found – certainly highly applicable to the EYFs – I really like the way it clearly explains progression learning too!

Thank you for sharing!

HI Nicky,

Thank you for the tasks – I think your reflection on the SSTEW is valuable and great to plan to re visit this at various stages throughout the year

Wow Lauren – thank you for this!
Helicopter stories are a wonderful way of supporting children to develop their own creative story telling skills. Supports PSE / PD / CL/ EAD just for starters!

[NIckyb]

Some really lovely ideas for supporting our very young children – such an important stage of development.

There is strong evidence that the child’s first 10001 days are crucial for long term positive outcomes.

There is the 1001 all party manifesto that sets out some of this evidence

[NIckyb]

Some fantastic contributions this afternoon – a huge thank you!

It is great that some of you have identified that there is scope for better supporting individual children by learning more about schematic patterns of play and supporting your colleagues to recognise the learning potential in this.

Debbie – what a wonderful quote you have found and I couldn’t agree more . In case any one is interested in exploring children’s rights more there is a lovely little book called ‘Children’s Rights 0-8’ (2014) edited by Mallika Kanyal that explores ways in which we can promote children’s participatory rights in education.

HI all

Resources / activities from my group today:

sensory pouches in different areas / heights
‘I am special I am me’ family tree
Edible paint (thank you for the photos Summer)
Family member picture board using coloured flaps – ideas to extend this include using different materials for lifting the flaps to incorporate further sensory exploration
Piano mat and different household items within different areas of the room to encourage exploration of sound / sound discrimination
Music basket with visual cues to promote children’s choices – extension include using a decorated Pringles tube with laminated pictures cards that could then be posted through the lid – again this could incorporate some sensory textures on the outside of the tube
Large sensory box including ribbons , pompoms, sensory pushes and balloons
Family bags with photos / pictures of familiar people on one side and different textures on the other side – could be used in numerous ways including supporting transporting / enclosing schemas.
Story bottles – specifically supporting ‘ Going on a bear hunt’.
Use of ribbons and scarves tied together to pull out of a box ( like a magic trick)- engages joint attentions , sensory , playing peekaboo, could be used to support enclosing schema wrapping one self in the scarfs, naming colures and as props in story telling
Autumn themed treasure basket including range of natural resources, jars for filling and emptying, pumpkins, sensory bags / pouches, toy animals such as hedgehogs , squirrels, leaves , conkers etc
Use tubes and different sized pom moms – posting and pushing actives – problem solving adding further resources to extend such a pipe cleaners , different sized balls.
High contrasting coloured sensory bottles could be extend for older children using pipe cleaners and paperclips – exploring effects of using magnets

Wonderful ideas – please do feel free to add further photos!

Well done on uploading your tasks to this page ladies!
I thought your reflections on Vygotsky and Bandura were well written and you have both made thoughtful links to your own practice with young children.

Very well done!
