Erumpent perfectly captures the energy of spring and the way children burst into play and learning when we give them time, space, and trust. Budding with curiosity, blossoming with ideas, now that’s erumpent! #ScotEduSky #EduSky #EYSky #Childdevelopment #Froebel #earlyyears #playmatters #MorePlay
Word of the day is ‘erumpent’ (17th century), which describes buds and blossom that are bursting forth with vigour. Can also be used of energetic humans.
