We have started our watch party for Sound Art: Connecting contemporary art and children's play, by @louisa_penfold, Diamond Arrington, and Kaijeh Johnson. 
Contemporary art and children's play may not be the most obvious combination, but the sensory stimulation, fuel for curiosity, and channel for self-expression make contemporary art a great medium to enhance children's experience of #LearningThroughPlay.
With these two contrasting images, @louisa_penfold highlights the range that children's art covers, with one being a structured adult-intended creation, while the other is messy and exploratory. New materialism suggests that materials and people mutually transform one another.
Aaand it's almost time for playful mathematics with @helenjwc. If you're joining us for this session, please remember to bring along 2 pieces of square papers and a pair of scissors, so you can take part in some hands-on learning! #EYPlayParty #PlayfulMaths #PedagogyatPlay
How can we have a warm and cuddly math moment, asks @helenjwc. It seems like such an unusual idea!
It isn't particularly helpful when adults dismiss maths as something they were not good at either. But teaching mathematics is about developing mathematical thinking.

Math happens when a child sees a relative at a distance and has to calculate how far to run to hug them (awareness) 🤗 or when navigating a route and remembering landmarks and how to get there (representations) #EYMaths #WarmAndFuzzyMaths #PlayBasedLearning #ToddlePlay @helenjwc
