World Baking Day 2022
World Baking Day is here, and what better way to celebrate than baking a few tasty treats. Here we have three simple (but scrumptious) recipes for you to try out. KCS Educational Supplies.
The role of the adult in play
Facilitating play can be a complex role for Early Years practitioners. Early Years expert, Emma Davis, explores the importance of child-led play and how to strike a balance between the role of observer and facilitator.
Getting to grips with Loose Parts Play
Introducing loose parts play into a setting can be a hugely empowering and valuable experience. As practitioners, our role is to facilitate an enabling and inspiring environment for children and incorporating loose parts into our provision can help us to achieve this.
Forest School in a time of COVID
Having to live with the restrictions imposed by COVID has required us to reevaluate how children learn. With lower transmission rates outdoors, and greater ability to naturally socially distance, outdoor learning is really taking off.
Those settings and schools fortunate enough to have Forest School Leaders are reaping the benefits of this inspiring approach to outdoor learning. The emotional benefits to this are well documented, and can only continue to be of value post lockdown.
Nature Nurtures: Help Pupils Connect To The Planet During Covid-19
It’s simple: being in nature makes us feel better. And under Covid-19, that’s more important than ever for our students. From planting a tin of herbs to becoming an endorsed Forest School, every school can do something to get pupils outside and happy.
Living in the Time of COVID – The Wellbeing of Staff
We’re living in a time of increased anxiety, with many factors impacting on the personal and professional lives of the Early Years workforce. Some are still furloughed, others have been working in key group bubbles throughout, some teaching online and others will be back for the first time in September.
Now that we look to return to some sort of normality in Early Years, at least in the terms of the number of children attending, it’s important to ensure the wellbeing of staff.
