Aside from the things others have pointed out, all the dogs do the same thing, they all confidently bound into a room of strangers, find their person immediately and stay with the person they first chose. Many shelter dogs have been treated horribly by humans and are much more scared or nervous.

The pudding is clearly one that requires a Long March to the kitchen and must be shared equally among the masses (no matter how many raisins are in it).

Incredible block play! You can really see them testing the mathematical relationships here. That hand-measure is such a brilliant display of Froebelian 'Unity', understanding the parts and the whole through discovery. #BlocksRock

A wonderful demonstration of the ways children incorporate their experiences in their play. These are children who know the story well, they have heard it many times and they are using what they know to re-tell the story. So many important skills being developed here #Froebel #ELCBeingMe

Self-evaluation and reflection can happen in many different ways. It can also happen individually or as part of a group. Critically reflective practice is important to ensure we are always getting it right for children. #BeingMe #Section7RtA

Yup, went to a Saturday club when I was about 10. We put on an improvised version of The Tempest. We even made our own costumes.
