What are Learning Stories at BEYC?๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐ป๐ฑโ๏ธ๐
In an earlier post we mentioned children’s learning is recorded and extended through Learning Stories.
Learning Stories are a consultative model of planning, led by the children.
Learning Stories at BEYC are very much influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach; making learning visible and highly valuing the child’s voice and contributions from home.
Our Learning Stories are collated onto Sway (Microsoft Office Sway is an online interactive presentation programme) which is great for revisiting Learning Stories, both in nursery and at home.
Please have a look at the key points about BEYC’s Learning Stories below.
This short video is also very helpful for understanding this approach to documenting learning and planning.
Eco Easter Bonnet Try at Home.โป๏ธ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐จโ๏ธ๐
Please help yourself to the materials at theย Try at Home table in the foyer to make an eco friendly Easter bonnet.
As an Eco School we very much promote the use of recycled materials and have provided some as a starting point.
You can use recycled resources from your home too if you wish!
Who is going to be super creative and take on this challenge?
We can’t wait to see your finished eco friendly Easter bonnets!
Please wear them to nursery on Thursday 22nd March, when we will be having our Easter Egg hunt!
