SUMMARY:EEF Physical Development Toolkit - What to Know and How to Use It with Hellen Battelley
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nHelen Battelley \nThis webinar will explore the content in the Education Endowment Foundations’ recently published Physical Development tool kit within the Evidence Store. \n\nWhat is the evidence store and PD tool kit?\nReviewing ‘Teaching the skills needed for moving and handling’ – Teaching and Learning Approaches.\n‘Reviewing Teaching the skills needed for mark making’ – Teaching and learning Approaches.\nToolkit resources – Written and Video content\nWhat else to consider?\n\nPlease Note: This session will be recorded. \nHelen Battelley is an internationally renowned consultant\, trainer\, author and speaker in Physical activity/movement in Early and Primary Education with an MA in Early Childhood Physical Activity. \nThe movement philosophy Helen promotes is to embed movement within the curriculum and framework to enable a movement philosophy. Young children learn through movement\, early years practice must adopt an approach which is accessible to all. \nHelen’s sessions are primarily aimed at increasing practitioners confidence\, motivation and basic movement skills\, enabling them to create their own movement activities to support learning- building on these core principles to become part of their everyday planning. Staff have found the courses to ‘reignite a spark’ within them to become more physically active in their own lives. \nLearn more about Helen Battelley here. \n\n    This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol\, Bath and North East Somerset\, Swindon\, Wiltshire\, Somerset\, North Somerset\, Gloucestershire\, South Gloucestershire).

SUMMARY:Maths Matters More Than Ever! Free Mini-Conference With Guest Speaker Dr Sue Gifford and Maths Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nDo you want to: \n\nUnderstand the firm foundations of mathematics?\nIncrease your own confidence in supporting children’s mathematical learning?\n“Mathematise your day” and get playful and creative with maths?\nHelp children develop positive attitudes to mathematics?\nDevelop your own maths subject knowledge in pattern and spatial reasoning?\n\nSue Gifford \nMaths Matters more than ever! \nThere is an urgent call to improve children’s outcomes\, develop positive attitudes to mathematics\, address high levels of maths anxiety in the early years workforce\, and develop high-quality\, maths-rich\, playful pedagogy! \nMathematics is empowering and joyful and ALL children are entitled to develop confidence and competence across all areas of maths. \nEarly Years maths is the strongest predictor of later school achievement – more than reading and attention skills. Maths needs to be as much of a priority as language and communication\, directly impacting on each child’s educational progress and life chances. \nAs curricula across all phases of education are being reviewed\, Sue and colleagues at Early Childhood Maths Group are championing a broad and balanced Early Years Maths Curriculum\, ensuring children have much richer experiences and firmer foundations in mathematics. \nEarly Childhood Mathematics must be firmly rooted in Spatial Reasoning and the Power of Patterns. \nProfessional development is essential\, equipping early years practitioners with strong subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches to support children’s learning and attitudes in mathematics. \nDr Sue Gifford\, Professor Emerita in the University of Roehampton’s School of Education\, will be celebrating all that is creative and playful about early mathematics and digging deeper into pattern\, problem-solving and spatial reasoning. Learn more about Dr Sue Gifford here. \nSue will be joined by local specialist leaders in early maths\, including Robin Taylor (SPH/Boolean Maths Hub)\, who will facilitate workshops and discussions around maths-rich pedagogies\, provision\, and practice. \nAgenda\n5:00pm Dinner (included)\n6:00pm Welcome from Lucy Driver (Stronger Practice Hub Lead)\n6:15pm Keynote Speaker: Sue Gifford “Maths Matters more than ever!”\nFollowed by: Digging Deeper: further discussions and reflections on playful provision in Early Mathematics\n6:45pm The Brilliance of Blocks: Robin invites you to construct and “deconstruct” Block Play through a mathematica lens\, digging deeper into Spatial Reasoning as a crucial foundation to all mathematics learning\n7:30pm Sue invites you to Q+A questions and reflections \nThis is a free Maths conference for early years practitioners and childminders in our SPH area. There are limited places available\, and we want as many settings and childminders to benefit as possible. Places will be limited to two-per-setting initially. \n\n    This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol\, Bath and North East Somerset\, Swindon\, Wiltshire\, Somerset\, North Somerset\, Gloucestershire\, South Gloucestershire). We will also prioritise settings and childminders in areas of deprivation.

SUMMARY:Supporting EAL in the Early Years for Practitioners Working in Schools
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nThis interactive virtual session considers how we best support multilingual children and their families. It will reflect on how working with families can make the biggest difference and offer practical advice for everyday practice. \nMultilingual children and families are an important part of the fabric in our early years settings. How do we best support and grow their language skills to ensure they reach a good level of English while maintaining their home language? \nThis session will support practitioners to: \n\nIdentify and discuss how English as an additional language (EAL) is acquired in early years\nDevelop good practice to inclusively support all children applying effective EAL principles\n\nLouise Campbell-White and Alison Heseltine will deliver this session. \nLouise Campbell-White \nLouise Campbell-White has worked in early years for over eight years\, focusing on supporting children and families with English as an Additional Language (EAL). Louise works directly with early years educators\, supporting their everyday delivery of high-quality inclusive EAL education. Louise began her career teaching English to children and adults in Japan and then returned to the UK to work as a school advisor for Somerset’s Ethnic Minority Achievement Service. Louise writes and delivers training and has written articles for NALDIC and The Under 5s publications. She has also been a speaker at Nursey World’s annual conference. \nAlison Heseltine \nAlison Heseltine\, an Early Years Development Manager for the Early Years Alliance\, has over 20 years of experience supporting children\, families\, and providers. Alison writes and delivers training nationally and takes a lead on the importance of speech\, communication\, and language for the Alliance. Her personal experiences have influenced the focus of her work – the importance of communication and language for children and the role of families in supporting their children’s learning and development at home. \nThis session is an online interactive workshop that will encourage reflective discussion and learning together; it is\, therefore\, an expectation that you will have your camera on. There will be opportunities for sharing in breakout rooms so that we can learn about practice from each other and get the most learning from this workshop. \n\n    This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol\, Bath and North East Somerset\, Swindon\, Wiltshire\, Somerset\, North Somerset\, Gloucestershire\, South Gloucestershire). We will also prioritise settings and childminders in areas of deprivation.
