Fiona, our Play Pedagogy Lead, attended the Froebel Conference, it began with an inspiring keynote from Catriona Gill on seeing, unfolding, flourishing, being & belonging. She reminded us that when we create the right conditions children flourish & that inclusion isn’t a policy, it’s a way of seeing

@fiona248.bsky.social So inspiring listening to Fiona sharing her passion for Froebelian practice. It’s a privilege to hear from amazing educators. Take time to observe and reflect, focus on child as a unique individual. Connectedness, unity and real experiences central to core provision. 💛

It was so inspiring to hear from Educators talking so passionately about the importance of Froebel. Fiona Anderson shared the importance for educators to have time to observe and reflect on our children through play is so powerful! A very enjoyable night.

Through lots of natural reading opportunities the children have become familiar with the plot of our story of the moment “Shark in the Park”. We areable to sort the story into the correct sequence using our knowledge and understanding of story as well as visuals and props to support our play.
