Workshop1: Do you know your Visuals?

Symbols, photos, real objects which one to use?

Concerned about ‘getting it wrong’ or knowing what to use and when to use it? Come along and find out about a variety of visuals and hear top tips for use and how to enhance communication opportunities and get a chance to make some too to take back to your setting. Let’s make visuals work for all children!

Workshop 2: Reflection on the Curiosity Approach

This workshop will be reflecting on the use of the Curiosity programme to ignite curiosity and develop interactions and engagement. Practitioners will also explore a range of activities and approaches to develop engagement because without engagement there is no deeper learning.

Workshop 3: An Introduction to Supporting Children’s Emotional well-being using the Thrive approach

Early Years Thrive is a dynamic developmental approach to working with babies and young children to promote and support their emotional wellbeing. It aims to help practitioners to spot early signs of difficulties and effectively support children’s learning and development.

Workshop 4: Beyond the Bucket

Do you feel that you have tried lots of things, but the children in your setting continue to find it hard to focus and maintain their attention? This practical workshop will explore the reasons why strategies may not have been effective and provide you with ideas that you can take back to your setting and share with parents. This will include, how to adapt your environment, some practical strategies and resources all with focus on supporting children's attention.
