The 50 Fantastic Ideas series is packed full of fun, original,
skills-based activities for Early Years practitioners to use with
children aged 0-5. Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a
list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills
children will learn. Creative, simple, and highly effective, this
series is a must-have for every Early Years setting. Using natural
resources has long been part of the Montessori and Steiner
philosophies and some mainstream early years provisions were
already starting to emulate this practice. The recent popularity of
Forest Schools demonstrates how practitioners recognise the
benefits of offering children open-ended activities using natural
resources. Not all settings are fortunate enough to have access to
a forest or indeed have staff who are Forest School trained, but it
is possible to create naturalistic playspaces. Without specialist
training practitioners will learn easy ways to develop their
children's understanding of how to grow plants, use tools,
construct dens and shelters and explore transient art. The
activities in this book offer opportunities for open-ended play
while the children are off exploring nature and the great outdoors.
Here Kate Bass and Jane Vella, busy Early Year practitioners, share
with you some of their favourite resources, with ideas from how to
enhance your 'mud kitchen' to developing narrative and exciting
opportunities to develop creativity while enriching children's
language and communication.
In this updated version of her landmark book Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach, celebrated adult educator Jane Vella revisits her twelve principles of dialogue education with a new theoretical perspective gleaned from the discipline of quantum physics. Vella sees the path to learning as a holistic, integrated, spiritual, and energetic process. She uses engaging, personal stories of her work in a variety of adult learning settings, in different countries and with different educational purposes, to show readers how to utilize the twelve principles in their own practice with any type of adult learner, anywhere.
