From Helga: Design of the stall was outstanding in my opinion. The activity with the photos (visual signs/environmental signs) was a brilliant way of putting the document into practice. The message that I took from this stall (after speaking to one member from the group) is how important it is that children are supported to express themselves (depending on where they are at in their developmental).

# data[].attributes.body
This stall was beautiful. I had the opportunity to look at the den making activity. It made me think how there are endless possibilities outdoors for imaginative play and creative explorations. Supports developing confidence, risk taking and learning on so many levels.

This group did have a clear message for me in terms of the right to play. Their stall was very informative. I did love the poster with the four different domains where play needs to happen, so that the child can thrive and develop.

# data[].attributes.body
This group did prepare a tent, it was such a wonderful idea for putting the document into practice. Using the theme of seasons was highly appropriate since  we can all relate to it, therefore an inclusive theme. I felt that the child could be at the centre of an activity if this kind; leading their „creative journey“ on their own or co-leading it with other children.

Child at the centre was a really good reminder of how mindful we need to be when working with children. To respect each individuality, make them feel included and safe. To support them ensuring high standards of care. Baby massage presentation was a beautiful metaphor of what the principles and values in health and social care are. Dominoes activity example gave an idea of support that is right for each individual child, as they are all unique and learn in different ways. Justyna

That is recognises the person (in our context, the child) as an individual and acknowledges their unique background and experiences. The use of “I” and “My” statements ensure that the child’s welfare is considered at all times. The importance of mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as physical.

A brilliant display and excellent ideas of hands on activities. The importance of allowing children to take part in ‘risky play’ and make their own judgements as to safety issues.

“Play happens anywhere.” The absolutely fundamental importance of play at all stages of childhood and in any context, be it at home, in a childcare setting, or in the community. I loved the way a central idea of The Three Little Pigs was used to tie together ideas for play in different settings and with such a range of materials. The ‘barriers to play’ activity was also extremely thought provoking.

At its heart this document seems to be about the importance of curiosity and letting children use their creativity to explore different ideas. It is child led and about the creative process, not the final product.

This lovely and creative display showed the document as a guidance aimed to build the confidence and skills of those working with children. It underlines the importance of workforce in supporting and encouraging children on the learning journey from birth until starting school. It indicates how significant, for the best start of the child is the high-quality setting, relationship with a named adult monitoring care, early intervention and prevention. It’s important to recognize child’s individual needs, interests, and abilities to achieve full potential.

The beautiful display had a real feeling of outdoors experience. It let you think about endless possibilities of playing outside and simple ideas changed into great fun. Talking about risk assessment gives children sense of responsibility, awareness, freedom of choice when they are trying new things, explore and learn about the world. Spending time outdoors have an impact on children health, development, confidence, concentration and much more. Learning outdoors helps to understand relations with nature. It also builds respect and sense of importance of the environment we live in.

From this interesting display I have learned that when children have freedom of being creative, imaginative and curious, they learn with great sense of achievement while being happy at the same time. Every child should have opportunities to experiment, explore, make mistakes, solve problems and make decisions. Creativity helps children to be more confident and resilient. Placing child at the centre, the document is underpinned by GIRFEC and linked to ‘Pre-birth to Three’ and Curriculum for Excellence’ like all documents in the showcase.

Wonderful stall with some very eye catching displays that clearly show the importance of offering child centred and driven care from birth to pre school. By offering the child choices it allows a more individualised care plan. Acknowledging the development of each child rather than looking at an age driven model further strengthens this method of delivery.

Play is an absolute vital part of all learning. By allowing play the child is given an environment that is fun, which allows that child a positive learning experience. Play can happen anywhere with as much or as little equipment. Active play also supports healthy children with an increased in social interaction. I personally think that play more than anything else is the single most important part of any learning experience. So much more can be learned (and taught) in a fun, open and playful environment. 😄😄👨‍🎓👍

Never underestimate what a child is learning through play. They are never just “playing” they are exploring, learning and developing emotionally, socially, cognitively, physically and developing their language and communication.

Parents, nurseries, schools and even in the community can promote great play experiences for children that does not require huge budgets.
