Children’s pattern awareness is a key predictor of later maths learning\, and helping children recognise the regularities and relationships in all sorts of patterns helps them “make sense” of mathematics. Robin will consider the diverse forms of patterns and how creating a pattern-rich environment supports children in becoming pattern spotters and problem solvers. \nView Tickets\n\nMaths Trio\nDon’t be scared!

We hope you will leave feeling inspired and with tangible actions you can take. \nPlease Note: This session is part of what will be regular termly PSED regional networking sessions. So it will involve some CPD and then networking/ discussion time. Participants are encouraged to discuss their learning\, what they have or will put into practice\, successes and challenges from their settings\, and what you'd like future sessions to cover as we build this learning community. \nView Tickets\n\nSessions in this Series\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Jun \n \n 16 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Virtual Event \n\n \n 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm BST \n \n \n \n PSED Network: Staff Wellbeing and Leadership \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\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).

Continuous Provision is an effective approach that provides the context and teaching strategies for playful learning to occur in a differentiated manner. Come and find out more about the research that underpins the approach and explore ways to make it work effectively for the children in your setting. We will consider how enabling learning environments\, both inside and out\, can deepen children’s thinking\, skills\, and knowledge\, and we will explore the role of the educator as an effective play partner alongside. \nView Tickets\n\nBack to Basics Series\nOur Back to Basics series consists of four webinars. You can attend all the webinars in the series\, or pick the one(s) that are most relevant to your practice.

Together\, they bring a unique blend of expertise\, which you can read more about below. \nThis conference is for early years educators in maintained nursery schools and nursery classes in schools\, as well as Reception educators. It is for those interested in curriculum design\, assessment and movement-based approaches to early writing. \nThis training day is designed to challenge assumptions and interrogate widespread practices around early writing\, particularly in light of the recent DfE Writing Framework. Drawing on the latest evidence from wider ECEC experts and grounded in the latest research\, we’ll explore what truly supports children’s writing readiness\, not just at the table\, but from the ground up and with an awareness of how the transcriptional and the compositional effectively combine. \nExpect to leave with practical strategies\, greater clarity on developmental expectations\, and the confidence to advocate for approaches that honour how children grow\, move\, and learn. \nThe Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub and the South West Stronger Practice Hub bring you this conference for the whole of the south west region. \nIf you are based in Bristol & Beyond’s SPH local authority areas\, then you should register below. \nIf you are based in the South West SPH’s local authority areas\, then you should apply on their webpage. \nAbout the Trainers\n\n \n\n\nJan Dubiel\nInternationally recognised specialist in Early Years assessment and curriculum\, brings a deep understanding of policy\, pedagogy\, and how to translate developmental research into meaningful practice.\nLearn more here. \n\n \n\n\nHelen Battelley\nRenowned movement and physical development consultant\, offers specialist insight into how early movement\, sensory integration\, and gross motor development lay the foundation for confident\, capable writers.\nLearn more here. \n\n\nMore about the Course Aims & Learning Outcomes\nBy the end of the day\, participants will be able to: \n\nCritically interrogate the phrase “ready to write” as used in policy and classroom practice\, identifying assumed versus explicit developmental prerequisites.\nExplain the role of gross motor foundations (posture\, core stability\, shoulder girdle control) in enabling fine motor skill and sustainable mark-making.\nEvaluate common early-years approaches (e.g. worksheets) against developmental evidence and re-design tasks to support embodied learning.\nApply a motor-hierarchy (proximal → distal) framework to sequence teaching for transcriptional and compositional development.\nUnderstand the importance of the purpose and context of writing in terms of the compositional dimension\nEstablish the concept of a child’s ‘writer’s voice’ and how this needs to be facilitated in conjunction with the transcriptional dimension.\nProduce\, with guidance a step-by-step\, curriculum-aligned action plan\nDraw from a suite of strategies and approaches to support early writing in the EYFS\n\nTimetable and Session Structure\n09:30 – 9.45: SPH Welcome and Introduction\n09.45 – 10:05: Mapping current practices against the DfE Writing Framework and motor-skill indicators.\n10:05 – 10:30: Framing the problem: “Ready to Write” — what does it mean?
