Rethinking KS1: Inspiring Children’s Learning – single session

Contents

Firm foundations shouldn’t stop being developed at the end of EYFS. As educators, we understand the pivotal role of play in early childhood development and its impact on lifelong learning – The Rethinking KS1 programme is designed with this in mind.

This is to book onto a single session for Rethinking KS1. It is part of the NEW Rethinking KS1 programme for the academic year 2024-2025. The full programme is being offered at an introductory price but some of the sessions are available to book as one off, single sessions.

All Rethinking KS1 sessions are designed to challenge traditional thinking and introduce approaches that align with the developmental needs of young learners, linking to research, child development theories and neuroscience.  Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers during the sessions, fostering a collaborative environment for sharing insights and best practice. Our Rethinking KS1 programme encourages you to embrace the journey towards a transformative educational approach where play is not just encouraged—it’s recognised as essential.

The sessions will be facilitated by Jo Gray who will draw upon her wealth of experience and knowledge of supporting schools and academies in this area, along with her own experience from the classroom. Jo is passionate about the power of play, the importance of inclusion, and the magic of skills for life-long learning.

This is to book on session 2 – 4th December 2024: 

Rethinking KS1 Session Two – Connecting the Curriculums

Continuing from the first workshop, session two will explore how children can learn all that is expected of them from the KS1 National Curriculum without ignoring the characteristics of effective learning from EYFS. We will dive into ways in which we can create exciting, inspirational learning opportunities that support the national curriculum and align with research informed practice to ensure children continue to build on their learning from EYFS.
