Younger Children and Early Number Sense
The term “number sense” was developed in the 1980s but began to be used more frequently during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Wars, conflicts, migration…
People that migrate (move) from the place where they live to a new place where they will live are known as migrants.

Music approach in EYFS - enhancing the musical experience at home
One question I hear very often when I say I teach Music to Early Years pupils is, “How do you teach Music to such little children?”. I think this happens because there is a misconception that learning Music is only related to knowing how to read music notation or playing an instrument accurately. However, learning Music goes far beyond this. Music is inherent to human beings. It is a way of expressing ourselves. It is about emotional connection. It is about creativity and sensibility.
