@LeenaBMc @STEM4Real Overheard during tech check "You see the disgusting video?" followed by an excited wiggle. What have you got in store for us, @LeenaBMc 👀🧐 #ToddleTIES
First of all, Christina stresses on the importance of the adults getting in touch with how they feel about the outdoors themselves? Insects? Heat? Dirt? She flags that teaching outside requires HUGE flexibility, since you may not even have a window to throw your plan out of!
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.
What exactly do we mean by literacy? Although reading & writing immediately come to mind, according to @AlbertaEd, in EY it is the ability, confidence, & willingness to engage with language to acquire, construct, & communicate meaning in all aspects of daily living. #ToddlePlay
Babies are born with about 100bn neurons!! Sensory, emotional, & physical activity triggers neural connections 🧠 making thinking & learning happen. Children's whole bodies respond to sensory stimulations, shaping their experiences & pathways #BrainDevelopment #EYPlay #EarlyYears

Kicking off with an introduction to the story workshop and a beautiful video, it was found that materials provided a fantastic medium of expression for children. Who found it, you ask? The children themselves! Take a look at their feedback! @Playfulinquiry #EYPlayParty 
How can we have a warm and cuddly math moment, asks @helenjwc. It seems like such an unusual idea!

Learning and teaching are team sports, adds @BenMardell. @HSteinbring points out that being a team is not easy, and that is work to function as a team. @MaiaBassett reminds us that creating the compassion and communication we want to see with children and adults begins with us.
How can we get the most out of our different roles, and balance them in a team, @MsNursery asks. @HSteinbring stresses on communication here: including classroom adults, researchers, & children. It's also key to recognise the strengths & areas of support for everyone in the room.
