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:Expressive Arts and Design: an Immersive Experience for Children - Open Study Day at Great Expectations Day Nursery
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Practice Hub Event \nWhen visiting Great Expectations\, you will see that we have designed the learning environment to optimise independence and freedom of choice where children can have the autonomy to choose where and how they wish to be creative and access resources without continually referring to the adult. We believe that children should be given the time and space to explore\, experiment and develop their own ways of creating as individuals whilst being exposed to a variety of artists and techniques. Each year\, we hold an Art Exhibition to celebrate our children’s work with their families and encourage their parents to value the creative process. \nDuring this morning session\, you will have the opportunity to go on a learning walk and hear more about our ethos towards creativity. We will have our workshop and outdoor space open so you can see children being absorbed within the creative process and work alongside them to notice how the knowledge and skills of the staff facilitate each individual child’s creativity. You will also actively engage in a workshop where we will look at an adult-led approach to creativity Vs a child led and how we don’t have to be artistic or expressive to support children and encourage creative growth. \nFinally\, we will learn about the Reggio Emilia approach\, look at the wider EYFS curriculum\, see how creativity in Early Years is part of everything we do\, and become inspired by EAD becoming mathematical and part of UW. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nAims of the day\n\nTo develop a strong understanding of the difference between adult-led vs child-led within creativity and look at various approaches – specifically the Reggio Emilia Approach\nTo have a clearer understanding of how to work alongside children to encourage and facilitate creativity whilst developing an understanding of artists and techniques\nHow EAD links with the wider EYFS curriculum\nTo break down own personal barriers to creativity\n\nTimetable\n\n9:00- 9:15 Welcome\, introduction and learning walk and discussion around pedagogy\, independence and environment.\n9:15-10:00- Looking at Reggio Emilia’s Approach to creativity\, looking at the process over product and how to facilitate an individual child’s creativity and choice of expression.\n10:00- 10.15- Break\n10:15- 11:45- Practical opportunity to work alongside children\, observe creativity and become part of the creative process.\n11.45- 12.30- Reflections\, personal barriers and how EAD links with the wider EYFS curriculum.\n\nGreat Expectations is situated within the heart of Bromley Heath\, Downend\, Bristol.
