Are you not sure where to start with developing a Climate Action Plan for your setting? As you move forward with this\, it is very important to understand the need for it and to do it in a way that is appropriate for the early years\, so that we build eco-empathy not eco-anxiety. This session will help participants to: \n\nUnderstand what is meant by ‘the Anthropocene’ and its impact on childhood.\nUnderstand ‘Education for Sustainability’ in early childhood.\nConsider how we might design pedagogies that help babies\, toddlers and young children shift from eco-anxiety to eco-empathy as they grow older.\n\nThis research-informed session will link with DFE guidance and the need for settings to develop Climate Action Plans. It will also help participants make links between sustainability and children’s learning and development. \nWe will also be finding out about your interest in a sustainability network and the possibility of online follow-up sessions. \nThis workshop is face to face. Check the location before you book. Spaces will be limited\, however there are two sessions to choose from. \nIf this event is sold out\, you can request to be added to our waiting list by emailing sph@beyth.co.uk. \nMillie Colwey is delivering this workshop. She leads an outdoor early years setting in Bristol and is an SPH Partner. Millie has years of experience working as a childminder and outdoor educator\, and engaging with systems leadership beyond her own settings. She is currently doing postgraduate research into early childhood education for sustainability. \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).

So open-ended and full of endless possibilities! \nThis will be a first-hand\, hands-on\, experiential session with opportunities to playfully explore Block Play. \nChildren’s collaborative\, creative constructions offer such a vivid window onto all aspects of their learning – here we will be looking at Block Play through a specifically “mathematical lens”. \nWe will reflect together on how to create enriched and enlivened Block Play spaces; how to support children’s learning trajectories as they journey through the 7 stages of Block Play; and\, how to observe and scaffold the huge range of mathematical and spatial skills children demonstrate whilst filling and fitting\, making and modelling\, reproducing and representing with Blocks. \nThis session is being delivered by trainer Robin Taylor. Robin is Assistant Head at St. Pauls Nursery School and a Local Specialist Leader for Maths in the EYs. \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).
