      <image:title>Blog - Building on children’s curiosity of all things creepy crawly - Insect and Bug Books</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sharing books with children has a variety of benefits from supporting their communication and language development, extending their vocabulary. Developing attachment and relationships as you share books together. To developing early literacy skills and a love for reading. They can also be a great source of information gathering for young children. These are five of my favourite bug related books to share with children under five years old.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pop out some cucumber or lettuce out and sit back and observe how snails and slugs eat. You can look closely using a magnifying glass and have bug books close to hand for information. A top tip for when moving bugs/insects is to move them gently using a paintbrush to avoid squishing or hurting them,</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Visiting an art museum is a great way to celebrate art with children and expose them to a wide variety of different art. Check out when your local museums are open and be sure to risk assess before taking a group of children. You might also want to take clipboards, paper, pens and pencils in case your children feel inspired and want to create their own art.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Display your children’s work and invite parents and carers into the setting to view the children’s very own art gallery. This can also be a great way of raising funds for early years settings charging parents a small admission fee or donation for attending the event.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Dancing is great for the soul, children’s development and is sure to put smiles on faces. Play music and dance, have fun, add ribbons and viols to dance with. Get those hearts pumping and those toddlers active! Not only is dancing a form of art and self expression it is also so beneficial to developing children’s physical skills, core body strength, vestibular sense and proprioception.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - INK Festival Sunday Funday - “Before we can put pen to paper and write a play, we need to be able to play and tell a story.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are several reasons why we are excited as a company about this partnership and being commissioned to some children’s work. Firstly, this is part of my local community and I am very passionate about how community and this applies to the work that we do. Also, you may have heard me say a time or two if you have done some of my early years online training, such as ‘Developing the Storyteller Within’ or ‘Sensory Storytellers’ that we all have a story within us. Whether it’s that story about how you’ll never guess what happened yesterday, to a story of love, betrayal or trauma. Those stories are within us and we start developing them from a young age. And this is one of the things that excites me about running the kids zone at the INK Festivals Sunday Funday. Before these children become playwriters of the future, they need to be able to tell stories, they need to act out stories, develop them with peers and this is what we will be doing through fun interactive story telling sessions with lots of opportunities for play!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a director of the company I passionately believe that every child has a scientist within them. And it is our job to nurture children’s natural curiosity about the world around them. In order to support the critical thinkers and innovators of the future. To promote children’s ability to make connections and think of their own ideas. Science and also the addition of STEM education I believe is instrumental to developing curious, innovative and critical thinkers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - British Science Week 2023 - What are STEM Skills?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This are the skills that children are developing through STEM education that are going to help them to be lifelong learners, as well as develop their STEM knowledge. These are: Critical thinking, innovation, creativity, hypothesising, testing, imagination, observational skills, collaboration, passion, open-mindedness, resilience, commitment, communication, planning and preparation, curiosity, self-motivation and to be methodical and logical.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Block Play and Mathematical Development in the Early Years - (Photo Credit: Project Matters)</image:title>
      <image:caption>A classic early year’s example, often children explore building towers often setting the challenge to see who can build a tower taller than themselves. This instantly lends itself to some discussions about size, as children may begin to make remarks such as “It is smaller than me!” Or “it is bigger than me!” This is a great opportunity for us as early years practitioners to extend learning in the moment. For example, introducing new language such as height, width, length and modelling a vast array of mathematical language. As we build and play alongside the children and build towers and make comparisons. There is also the opportunity to make comparisons between towers, for example, “How many blocks taller than you is your tower?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When thinking about children who are beginning to explore symmetry and patterns in their block play. You might want to consider: Do you have different coloured and shaped blocks? Can you introduce mirrors to play and photos? Can you bring in art activities that explore patterns and symmetry?</image:caption>
