Enhancing Provision Through Minibeasts: Ideas to Target Learning and Challenge Thinking: Volume 1 (Learning in Early Years)

Our "Learning in Early Years" series was written following our highly successful publication Planning for Learning in Early Years.

This series of books provides a selection of open-ended challenges that can be flexibly used as part of continuous provision. They are designed to be delivered both indoors and outside.

They will give busy practitioners an excellent starting point for planning their provision.

The challenges are laid out in an easy to use grid which helps practitioners to know:- How to resource and set up the challenge- The specific learning each challenge can target- How maths and writing skills can be applied across areas of learning

Each book in the series will inspire both adults and children. Pick and choose the ideas so that they match your children’s interests and challenge them to achieve their next steps in learning.

My children really enjoyed the activities and were very engaged. I used it to focus assessments and it was also great for observations. I was amazed with some children’s concentration on these activities and it was lovely to see so much learning going on.
