259 - Stop Recycling Themes And Start Opening Windows!

So we're talking about this week about, well, the subject is, are we really opening windows to the world for children? So it's all about a podcast that we have created a new training called windows to the world um curriculum and it's not it's not another podcast where we talk about intent implementation impact um and it's not in you know producing a another curriculum document that actually sits in your folders it's all about what the children are actually experiencing hence saying the windows to the world yeah yeah okay and i'm slightly aware that we are regurgitating what after what we've just said in the last 10 minutes um so what one of the questions i want you to think about is how much of your curriculum is based on what you've already done so you think about this gives an example autumn arrives so out come the leaves that october arrives out comes the pumpkins yeah

always yeah

or the hornet that i've just stood on because

they're

dopey yeah I did think that when I squashed the hornet because it was big.

Put him in a bit of resin.

Yes, I did.

I knew you were going to say that.

Put that inside a suitcase.

Yeah.

There you go.

That is all you needed.

Yeah.

That would spark lots of conversation.

Yeah.

Apart from a very throbbing toe.

Yeah.

But that would spark conversation.

And that's the whole point of Windows to the World curriculum.

How I outsell our children.

Yeah.

Learning something.

And we know that there's in the moment planning.

And we talked about this earlier about how staff don't quite, not practitioners don't quite get on with it.

And it's almost like, is it that we've taken a step back too far?
