An inspiring episode of Early Years TV with @FiJulie talking about transition to Year One. Thank you @Kathy brodie! Putting the child and their well-being at the centre of everything we do is particularly crucial during these times❤️

Great to listen to @ElizabethJarman on the Early Years Summit with @kathybrodie. Always so inspiring and thought provoking, encouraging deep reflection on how learning environments continually evolve to suit the needs of the different learners and cohorts.

Some schools who I work with had asked for some online CPD so I have made some videos- some for teachers/parents (with resources linked) & others for pupils. I hope they are helpful; share if they are. youtu.be/FuYVGRV6KEY @NW_LP @gazneedle @justdawned @ReadingExplorer @MancC
