The Mandala is so perfect & represents the universe. The curriculum in the Early Years is holistic; developing the mind, the body and the soul of children in order to create happy people living in peace & harmony together with each other & all creatures!

I would choose rainbow colour to represent the Curriculum in the Early Years because each unit has its different energy, effect and colour in our classroom through out the whole year :)

Curriculum in Early Years acts as a foundation to create life long learners. Thus it must be fun filled every day activity.

my rainbow represents a curriculum that follows more than one theory or strategy. For example even though we follow Reggio Emilia, we still use Montessori for English and Math.

Infinity - Because the curriculum should be open to infinite possibilities.

White because I think the early years as a blank canvas. You as a teacher can add to it by taking the students in any direction to learn.

I apologize for my technological ineptness and appreciate what the rest of you have done. Given that, close your eyes and picture a mother duck trying to navigate her twelve ducklings safely across a busy road. She is encouraging them to take risks and learn the route, yet is facilitating their passage and stepping in as necessary to ensure their success.

To me, brown represents a mixture of other colors, the way that the curriculum is an integration of different concepts, knowledge and skills

I imagine the curriculum as onion rings, with the child at the centre. The rings around then are the daily activities, family, friends, teacher, bigger projects and experiences. These are all surrounding the child and all effect the curriculum.
(Sorry, it's not a very appetising picture!!

Green shoots of new growth sum up my feelings about the curriculum, especially for early years. New possibilities emerge every day with the children, but they need careful nurturing and the right conditions to thrive - and that's the joint job of the teacher and the curriculum.

The symbol that I chose is when thinking about curriculum is a river. Early childhood curriculum should flow and not get stagnant.

Spring flowering trees remind me of curriculum. After a long winter, the buds on the spring trees remind me of children waiting to open up like the buds on trees. The different flowers remind me of diversity.

This image represents my thoughts on the essence of curriculum in the Early Years. A child-centered inquiry-based curriculm that allows children to explore with each of their senses and make new discoveries (and get messy!)

# data[].attributes.body
The symbol I have chosen is a puzzle piece. We are all unique as individuals and there is no one set way for us all to fit within the same space. We need to be mindful that our curriculum allows for diversity and is inclusive for differing needs and abilities.

This colour reminds me of the earthy tones found in nature - connecting with materials and making new discoveries. The outdoor environment is such an integral component in Early Years Education.

Curriculum that is child-centered elicits for me a calming feeling as does the sky on a beautiful day.

I chose this image because I believe it represents what I want and hope the curriculum allows for young children. This image illustrates friendship, joy and the uniqueness of individuals.

The symbol that I chose in thinking about curriculum is one of hope. I see the early years as a great opportunity for us, as teachers, to set the stage for life-long learning and to inspire and be inspired by our youngest learners.

Having a curriculum in the early years is really important because this is the foundation stage where learning about all basic concepts,  knowledge and skills are happening. But more importantly, instilling values to learners at this stage is essential too.

The symbol that I feel best represents my feelings on curriculum would be a star. Stars are special, but the North Star is not just special, it is also important. The North Star has been a reliable guide for navigation for many years, so just like the North Star, I feel the curriculum will always be an important guide in teaching; a guide based on standards and best practices.

# data[].attributes.body
When I think of the colour green, I think of nature, life,  freshness and growth.
The curriculum helps and guides learners to grow. The curriculum also helps teachers to be refreshed and to keep growing as well - keep growing in their hearts, minds and spirits.
The curriculum guides us to become life-long learners
