Good evening we have had a scorcher today and apparently I looked like a scarecrow in my sunhat! ☀️☀️☀️ https://t.co/7l1oNd3Sy7

Hope you are enjoying the heatwave while it lasts?

oops! I checked the photo & you are not scarecrow like at all

how was Norway? I love Norway not been in ages!
-
amazing, forgot how much I love it too. Such a brill course too.

-
I think it might be just you & me tonight. Are you off for summer break soon?
-
Norway & Denmark seem to be streets ahead with ICT in early years
-
I'm working through summer I have a week off in September and have just had a week. But it's holiday club and I ❤️ it
-
we got to visit a couple of kindergartens on Sat - a highlight for me
-

-
although to be honest I wouldn't complain if I was able to get summers off! Haha

-
Am good thanks 😊Yep it is glorious here- but still to walk my dog as it's too warm hence dipping in
-
I know I really should- DM me where and when 😊
-
thank goodness cats exercise themselves. Think everyone is busy with reports etc.
-
My favourite outdoor resource has been our various pots and pans, spoons and kitchen items great for mud pies and cakes!
-
-
-
I was on my own other week- ended up face timing with finished reports-feeling epic
-
ooooo I love pallets! So good for anything!
-
no!!!!!!! Lalalala can't hear you.
-
We also have lots of cable reel drums which are great for rolling or to use as tables
-
was a happy accident they went up sideways to allow climbing.
-
we are lucky and don't have to do any we have one parents night and that's it
-
Iceland too. But it was use of it for a purpose not just for 'fun'
-
-
Our children also love using logs and sticks at the moment all free of course!
-
that's enough for parents I bet.
-
so simple & yet so versatile.
-
yeah that's all they want they are happy that their children are ready for school.
-
Yes!!! Seriously it is on my short list and I am saving up!! Just got home!
-
you can't get any better than sticks.
-
sometimes I think we do reports for next teacher who never reads them anyway.
-
yay welcome to the party! 🌲🌳☘🍀🌴
-
Haaa I knew you were talking about reports!! Have to start mine as well!!
-
phew, I am not the last to do them! So glad you could make it.
-
Yep!! That sounds right!! :)
-
yes I know we have good transition procedure with schools so it works well.
-
fav thing this year too is pine cones - they call them sausages for 'cooking' with.
-
uploading a film we made... its taking forever!! but its a way we use ICT on our way to play outdoors
-
Have to say I'm pretty pleased that I've handed in my final assignment for this year so summer is all mine! 📝
-
Me too! I know it's been slow lately- there's no feeling quite like "is it just me"??! :)
-
I think I just might have friends there I can catch up with too- whoop
-
-
-
Id love it if some NAmerican folks could come too- that would be amazing!!
-
can't you just imagine the laughs we'd have.
-
-
the cubes can be decorated in differrent ways, with material hanging down, with music instruments etc
-
So tell us what you did in Oslo, Kierna! You Visited outdoor schools? Or just fun?
-
let's get in the cocktails too! 🍸🍹
-
yes!! Exactly the sort of fab stuff I saw little ones doing in Oslo
-
wow I love it!!! So cute!
-
this is just a small part of the film, where ALL the children's art travelled with us
-
-
not outdoors theme but ICT in the kindergarten. Loads of practical stuff
-
was fortunate to visit 2 kindergartens. Am very tired but buzzing with new ideas
-
-
they have done stop motion films, and also dance films... we aim to do a guide to Stockholm soon...
-
-
one great idea was using book creator for a transition book.
-
Oh that's fab! Basic is best! Is why movie Suzanne just shared is good too! Great stuff!
-
lovely idea of little ones asking questions that worry them about the next class 1/2
-
2/2 and bigger kids answer them - all using book creator.
-
-
That's a great q!! Easily overlooked and would be a great convo!! Doing it tomorrow!
-
Ears and eyes would be fun!
-
going to do 'fav thing outside' tomorrow, will share results.
-
great plan love when the children tell us what they like best very different from what we might like best
-
so true, let's see if the pallet den or pine cones even feature!
-
-
Love that too! We just had a "Talking Trail" where kids led parents through the woods
-
just letting you all know I have 16 days until holidays 😬
