GOING BACK TO BASICS

I have read so many posts this term asking questions that made me realise that for whatever reason lots of people need the chance to revisit the foundations of their childcare training and /or simple set ups in classrooms whilst always knowing your “why”.

Whether it’s a new journey in to early years, the start of a career, coming back after some time away, taking on a new challenge or just looking for inspiration - I am going to try to post regularly over the next few weeks to hopefully give you the spark back and an understanding rooted in early years excitement and a love of childhood.

We are going BACK TO BASICS !

I will look to post ideas and inspiration for

Maths

Literacy

Science

Creativity

Characteristics of effective learning

And much much more …..

Oh! And we will be rereleasing the back to basics webinars to purchase.

See you all soon

Kirstine 🙂

Apologies and thanks for your understanding

Did you know you can pick up card from IKEA for free??? 🙂

A trolley load of card can stock your creation station and your block play area for weeks and weeks!!!! Soooo much potential for free!!!

I always buy a blue bag and a plant so I’m not just walking out with their recycling 😂😂😂

Also many stores have a free wood section to upcycle wood breakages and returns.

If you don’t ask you don’t get !!!!

World gone mad !!!!!

Due to increased family care commitments I will be lecturing part time from Sept, still working with individual settings and doing some supply locally. Or at least that’s what I thought.

Apparently as a leading early years training consultant, author, lecturer (teaching teachers to be teachers) I CAN NOT register with a supply agency for adhoc work from Sept because I haven’t been in a classroom with little people for over 5 yrs !!!!!!! Even though I can supply references on my suitability from local authorities, head teachers and national nursery chains. I need to prove I have a good understand of the governments current curriculum !!!! 🤬🤬🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

So ….. if you are at school in bicester, northants, Milton Keynes - let me know - apparently I have to go volunteer to prove I’m ok with children !!!!

Apparently this is ironic considering the calibre of supply teachers some of my local schools have been sent recently !!!!
