High Quality Learning Environment in the EYFSAnna Cylkowska
Early Years Foundation Stage is art of attracting children’s attention, through creating a stimulating and inspiring learning environment. The role of Early Years teachers is to provide children thought provoking, engaging and challenging activities; to support and extend their learning. As Froebel nicely said ‘play is the work of a child’; thus Early Years practitioners should thoroughly prepare activities to intrigue children to explore their surrounding environment. Play encourages hands on approach, enriches children’s firsthand experiences and expands their intellectual growth. Practitioners’ imagination and creativity in preparing indoor and outdoor provision support competent and confident learners. High quality learning environment contributes to child’s development and incorporates all six areas of learning, according to English Curriculum. Play based learning develops problem solving skills and supports children’s understanding of the world. Inspirational activities initiate interaction and become the best opportunity for language acquisition for those learners whose English is a second language.

This article illustrates how getting dirty outdoors benefits kids. Who would have thought something we spend so much time wiping, sweeping, and mopping away could be so good for kids’ health? Spending time outside is great for kids, and studies show that getting dirty while they’re out there might be even better. Studies have shown benefits to immune systems, hearts and skin, as well as kids’ emotional well-being and learning skills.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
3. What is ‘free play’?
Each child is individual and unique, having needs, gifts, difficulties and
desires that are his own. What can be done so that each child is able to
grow and learn according to his personal rhythm? What can be done so
that each one feels respected, perceived as he is, and welcomed in his
uniqueness and at the same time stimulated to evolve?
A simple method - though not always easy to implement - both effective
and risky, which brings enthusiasm to children yet is at times disturbing for
adults, is free play.
5. What is the importance of free play?
“It is necessary to be outside for our brains to be stimulated from the flow of
sound, light, shapes and colors that nature provides...
Especially between the ages of 3-6, when the energy flow in the human brain
is at its greatest.” ~ By David Ingvar, Professor of Neurophysiology, Brain
Researcher.
...The outdoor pedagogical classroom values, activates and uses other
abilities rather than the verbal. I call this outdoor pedagogy for good health.”
Nina Nelson,
