About this event

Is this your first-year teaching Reception aged children or do you find yourself in a Reception class after having spent several years further up the school where learning is not a play-based approach?
During this session we will explore how children learn, how you can help them meet needs through quality observations and the sharing of next steps, the importance of the characteristics of effective learning and how to inspire your children with exciting continuous and enhanced provision and fun interactions.
No question in Early Years is a silly one so please come along with a small list of questions that you would like answered.

Session 1: we will be exploring the themes of resilience and wellbeing in order to create a shared understanding of: vocabulary and research around resilience and wellbeing; how the pandemic has impacted on the development of resilience and wellbeing; biological responses to stress and how the brain influences learning and behaviour; and different ways to promote resilience and wellbeing in schools following the pandemic.

Session 2: will have a more practical focus, exploring strategies that schools can employ to assess and promote resilience and wellbeing on an individual, group and whole-school level.

About this event

Well, you are a very lucky person if you have landed yourself a job as a TA in Reception, it’s a very privileged place to be where you can make a huge difference each day to every unique child you work with and play alongside.
However, it’s a whirlwind of a place to be, every minute is unpredictable, you’re told to go with the child’s interests in their play but you’re also given learning targets to meet in 17 areas of learning Then you’re asked to write an observation, sort the snack table, enable purposeful play in the construction area, facilitate the dough gym session, sort out 3 children with toileting needs, create a small world area (what’s that?), have a focus phonics group outside in the willow den, you look at your watch and it’s only just 9.30am, I wonder what the rest of the day will hold!

This session will explore some of the terminology we use in Reception such as continuous and enhanced provision, the importance of quality observations and their purpose, how to engage young children and how you in your role can ignite their learning and encourage them to reach their full potential, whatever their starting point is.

If you’ve got any questions whizzing around in your head, bring them along to this session where you may possibly get an answer – just your two most pressing ones though!!

Help is on its way

About this event

romoting Oracy and Talk for Learning in the Classroom. 'Talk is the sea upon which all else floats' James Britton. How powerful is this quote? When reflecting upon how children learn and demonstrate their understanding, without a doubt talk is a powerful vehicle. Children use talk to make sense of their learning, to reason, justify, question, persuade explore, describe and explain. Without talk as a tool for developing understanding and expressing oneself much learning may be lost or never consolidated. This session will enable particpiants to recognise the value and importance of talk and oracy in the classroom to support learning, will enable colleagues to be confident in planning and developing opportunities to promote oracy and talk for learning through a range of practical strategies/activities and seeks to deepen colleagues understanding of progression and expectations in using talk and oracy to promote learning.
