Hi

I wonder if anyone read in the news about the recent Primary Review that identified our young children are increasingly worried about items they see in the news about climate change, global warming, pollution and the gap between rich and poor. The Review also established that 'where schools had started engaging children with global and local realities as aspects of their education, children were noticably more upbeat'

I am thrilled that this has been identified, as this is one of the strands of thinking behind Elemental Learning and Elemental Toys. If we can open up a dialogue, with even our youngest children, in a context that is meaningful to them, about global realities, from their earliest years it can only be helpful to their understanding as they progress through their childhood. What more meaningful context can there be than talking to them about the toys they love, where they come from, who made them, how they made them and why!

If any of our customers would like more background information on any of our toys and the organisations that produce them, we are only to happy to supply it. Just e-mail sally@elemental-learning.co.uk.

Look forward to hearing from you

Sally.
