The Early Years Writing Curriculum: Effective practice and provision
These sessions are designed to strengthen practitioners’ understanding of high-quality writing practice and provision in the Early Years.
Description
Music is already a joyful and familiar part of Reception classroom life, from songs at tidy up time to rhymes on the carpet. This CPD session builds on what teachers already do, offering simple, practical and fun ideas to embed meaningful musical learning throughout the school day. The session is designed to boost confidence for everyone, including teachers who may not feel confident in their own musical ability. No prior musical knowledge is needed. Through accessible ideas, clear demonstrations and low pressure participation, teachers will discover that musical learning can be delivered through simple singing, movement, listening and play.
