Aberdeen bound for @earlyeducation.bsky.social conference where I’m speaking about the intersection of play and curriculum design. Just look at this stunning sky and scenery! #earlyyears #curriculum #play

A great first couple of days back... the start of the academic year is a time of reconnecting and professional learning. It has been a joy to be with early years teams in Croydon and Wolverhampton.

Just got off a long flight to find out this sad news. She was such an inspiration. For me she lit a flame in me to see children as rich and competent and as subjects with rights, citizens of now and not just their future. I’m heart broken but thankful for her wisdom, kindness and thinking.

Away in Hoi An, Vietnam currently. A time to practice slow.

I’m so privileged to be able to do what I ❤️ Another wonderful conference weekend creating spaces to think with others, with materials about our work with children. Thank you Cornwall for the invite and opportunity to think with your amazing educators!

Here in stunning Cornwall (this is Polzeath) speaking about the curiosity of the under 3’s …

I am hoping that I might get some help spreading the word about my 2nd year student’s MA research project on physical environments that engender creativity. Please share with anyone who you think might be interested. Many thanks!🙏

Made up to be in Eastbourne at East Sussex Childminders conference tomorrow talking about joy in curriculum with young children

Transitioning to here from ‘that’ other place and keen to link and connect with others in ECE to learn, think and work together. All things early years but fascinated with the power of the arts, creativity and pedagogies which support participation, listening and thinking through materials.
