These learners were using the sand to create walls and buildings. They had the idea of mixing water and sand to create cement. They used their mixture to lay the bricks just like a bricklayer. Later the cement was used to create a bridge and road #DunipaceSTEM #ChildLedLearning

Have you ever wondered what is in the #playshack @plantosnursery - it is full of fabulous resources which we use to play with, learn and have fun! #loosepartsplay #imaginativeplay #childledlearning

Some of our children have been busy designers!✂️🧵 From the first sketch to final detail, their focus, creativity and pride in their work is evident.
So much patience, resilience and imagination in one experience.

Making playdough with a pupil isn’t just about the playdough. It’s about patience, turn-taking, sensory comfort,& learning new skills. A simple mixture becomes a quiet moment where pupils grow, settle, & feel safe to explore. #UNCRCArticle29

In our Montessori space, less truly is more. 🌿
With simple toys and calm rhythms, our child explores with confidence — and we learn to follow, not lead. It’s a journey of presence, not perfection.

Mark making can take place anywhere at Kindergarten. It is always initiated by children, and adults use 'planning in the moment' to provide resources. This dynamic approach encourages creativity and spontaneity 🌟🖍️ #ChildLedLearning

At KatieB Kids, every mark tells a story and every story matters.
This beautiful swirl wasn’t planned by an adult. It came from the heart of a child, for someone they love. And that’s magic!

The reward of homeschooling?
✨ No bullying
✨ No forced conformity
✨ No meds just to sit still
✨ No busywork
✨ No “falling behind”
Just growth at their pace, in their way. #SlowEducation #ChildLedLearning

🎨 "Wow!" - that quiet moment when discovery unfolds.
At KatieB Kids, we celebrate the awe and wonder in every brushstroke!

🧠🎨 "Play is the highest form of research" - Albert Einstein. This is why we enable children's imaginations to run wild and allow them time to explore new ideas through play.

🦶🎨 Don't limit your creativity to just your hands: mark-making with your feet can stimulate a whole new level of imagination and unlock different parts of the brain.

👀 Tuesday Tip: If your baby points or looks excited about something, that’s your cue! Introduce the sign for what they’re interested in—like DOG, LIGHT, or BALL. 💡🐶⚽

A day later and a new little mind has taken control … today we’re transporting and building a home for a dinosaur ☀️ - let’s see what tomorrow brings 👀 #EarlyYears #EYFS #childledlearning #playbased #nursery #schemas

A lovely activity to start the week off with- making the most of the sunshine☀️
Nothing but old photo frames and a bouquet of flowers. Can be used with so much more - truly child led 👏🏻 #eyfs #nursery #childledlearning

We think 'junk modelling' is a complete misnomer because, when it comes to creating, nothing is really junk!

Here at GVS the possibilities are as boundless as your child’s curiosity. Because we know that knowledge is meant to be shared, not confined. 🌎✨

Did you know the folklore that during Passover, frogs hop into the kitchens where bread is made, and even into the ovens! This has inspired lots of frog-themed activities at the nursery this week!

Tiny Naturalist checks out the bamboo forest during flooding

#tinyNaturalist was inspired to create her own #marchMammalMadness bracket.

She's going to create mathematical models, roll the dice, and write up the scenarios.

She says "This is rated B for budgerigarnage."

To try out some Hapa Zome, sandwich some leaves or flowers between 2 pieces of fabric and bash with a hammer until enough pigment has been released to dye it!
