Fantastic day!
Today we are in the auditorium for the 2nd day of debates. Such a fabulous event to celebrate the hard work of our final year students in their debates module led by the amazing @SarahCCummins @LeedsTrinity

Congratulations to our final year trainee teachers for their outstanding debates this week. Their passion, knowledge & commitment was clear. Covering topics current in education, they really embraced effective debating skills to argue their positions. @LeedsTrinity

Met a friend for a cuppa today and she brought along my book for me to sign! I haven’t actually had my own copy yet so this was a real treat! 🤣 If you work in EY’s &want an easy to follow guide to incorporating Montessori principles into your setting, this is the book for you!

If documents by civil servants aren’t going to provide the EY sector with research informed practice, then the sector will do it for them. We have mobilised and it’s across multi agency sector for play. Watch this space. #PlayMatters Why Play Matters in the Early Years.

Just because something “works” with 10 year olds, it doesn’t automatically mean it’ll work with under 5s. Young children have very specific needs. The obsession with “readiness” is leading to many ignoring the children’s immediate developmental stage. Enough!

I have taught every age group from year one to year 13. I can tell you that the Early Years (and 0 to 3) is where we need to make the greatest investment in education.
