EYPS

After 30 years as a literacy specialist, Sue Palmer is now also widely known for her books on modern childhood - Toxic Childhood, Detoxing Childhood and 21st Centuary Children. This course, brings together her research on lifestyle changes and literacy expertise to provide insights into language development and its impact on learning and ways of organising and recording learning across the curriculum

Children can benefit from a strong start in their early mathematics. In this course delivered by child development author, Penny Tassoni, we look at a range of practical yet playful activities that will help children learn to count, and recognise and use number to solve simple problems. As the EYFS requires all settings to engage with parents to support learning at home, we will look at ways in which we can help parents to understand and support their child's mathematical journey.

This course will look at how to make literacy active, fun and purposeful for boys. We will assist you in forming experiences for boys that build on their interests and value their strengths as active learners and problem solvers. We will explore resources that engage boys such as Project X, Talking Tables and Talk for Writing.
