Hello is anyone still there?! Sorry for absence on this account, I can be found (sometimes) on @madame_vale and (mostly these days) @stramashoutdoor 👩🏼💻 Have been felting again today, secret project to be revealed soon 🤭
Happy Saturday Twitter Pals ❤️

If you are in the Fort William & surrounding area with children eligible for nursery, come along to our Open Day on 3rd Feb - learn more about Outdoor learning & Play & get your wee ones signed up for their nursery space!
Happy Burns Night from all of us 🏴 What a Stramash!! #burnsnight #scotland #thisisscotland #visitscotland #highlands #piper #outdoornursery
In Outdoor nursery children's voices (even the loud ones) are less intimidating, we often see shy children grow in confidence very quickly; playing with the more confident or boisterous children. Outdoor play also offers unique communication and literacy opportunities.
Children are programmed to seek out risk and challenge in their play, by supporting our children to recognise and manage risk, learning skills to navigate social relationships and challenging physical experiences, this need is fulfilled and the holistic child develops. #riskyplay
Building resilience & learning to see weather variations as an opportunity, means our children do not become 'solar powered' or get the idea that conditions must be 'just right' to have fun & be happy; a powerful life lesson. We put the right gear on, light a fire & keep moving
Let’s do this 👊🏻 #backtowork #lovemyjob #MondayMotivation x.com/stramashoutdoo…
Outdoor learning builds better brains! Time spent in nature boosts brain power & creativity. Developing the ability to think creatively in their early years, gives our children the brain advantage; becoming effective problem solvers for life!
Fewer Toys help toddlers focus better which increases the quality of their play. See comments for the research 👇

My very best bird moment for #NationalBirdDay @fcscotlandNews @fcscotland @ForestryCommEng
Knowledge obtained when moving the body & as a result of experiential learning is more readily retained. Moving kids are smarter kids!
Thanks you @RobGMacfarlane & @JackieMorrisArt for making my Christmas. Your lost words and beautiful images are etched in my heart ❤
Outdoor nursery provides unique opportunities for children to develop resilience - Natural environment, changing weather, risk & challenge 👌
Playing/learning outside improves concentration & focus. Immersed in play or a task they enter flow state = wellbeing & deep level learning
Children flourish better under natural light & build strong immune systems through contact with natural microbes, like those found in mud
Happy new year to you all 🎆🎉 & lets begin our countdown of the 15 reasons why Outdoor nursery is awesome! #seecomments #getoutside #outdoors

Building resilience & learning to see weather variations as an opportunity, means our children do not become 'solar powered' or get the idea that conditions must be 'just right' to have fun & be happy; a powerful life lesson. We put the right gear on, light a fire & keep moving
Childhood is not a race @Keep_EYs_Unique #BoldBeginnings #EYTalking
@LittlForestFolk @Keep_EYs_Unique The second quote that I've seen from Magda today - this one too ... "An infant always learns. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time." -Magda Gerber
Exactly my sentiments! This report show how out of touch Ofsted are when it comes to early years education #playmatters x.com/blackbu5/statu…
The word 'relationship' appears just twice in this document - the word 'skills' appears nearly 30 times - how do children acquire skills if not in the context of relationships with others? x.com/ofstednews/sta…
I worry every time I visit a formal EYFS - we won’t know the damage until these children are adults. Having an understanding of child development and how young children learn best is essential x.com/imagineinquiry…
Passionate words, Jules. I agree entirely @Ofstednews have got their priorities entirely wrong here (and I worry why that is), there is a national crisis in exclusions and ‘disappeared’ students and Ofsted have chosen to attack the one part of the system that’s working well. x.com/julesdaulby/st…
This is #absolutely #fascinating & do #TRUE! x.com/forestfelting/…
Saturday morning thunks 🤔 m.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcD…
Learning to have empathy, to share, to teach, to have compassion, learning how to resolve conflict and create solutions to problems... these are all incredible skills for the children to hone every day and will serve them greatly throughout their lives ❤ #LFFAdvent #eytalking
@Ofstednews No...Ofsted are failing children with their outdated ideas on how children learn and their arrogant dismissal of the opinions of expert practitioners! You have once again proved yourself not fit for purpose- well done!
@Ofstednews Tell me why, despite teaching our children to read and write at the age of 4, we still lag way behind other nations in the PISA league tables? This report completely ignores evidence based research on brain development in young children.
@Ofstednews This is an absolute disgrace. No account taken of child development or how crucial it is to get attitudes to learning right in early years. This very worrying for the future.
@clairewiththere @Ofstednews I too read this over breakfast and felt my blood pressure rising. What a way to undermine some of the most pedogogy minded, committed people in one foul swoop. 😤
@Ofstednews I've already cried into my breakfast reading it 😭 I fear many leaders will introduce pre-set linear programs as a result where there is little opportunity for well-being, intrinsic motivation and creativity #eyfstwitterpals
@jimafot @Ofstednews "All primary schools should make sure that the teaching of reading, including systematic synthetic phonics, is the core purpose of the Reception Year" - the most depressing - and deluded - sentence/recommendation from Ofsted that I have read in a long time.
'Keep my focus firmly on the people who matter – the children this is all for!'
