Reflections Professional Development Day - 17th Ocotber 2015


‘Telling Stories’

A Professional Development Day focussing on supporting children's imaginative and narrative explorations



 


Date:   Saturday 17th October 2015, from 9.00am until 4.15pm

Venue: Reflections Nursery, Worthing, UK

Cost:   £115, including refreshments and lunch



Young children tell stories every day to develop their play and investigations; to begin conversations and construct imaginary worlds; to explore physical environments and emotional experiences.  Find out how Reflections supports this important language of expression and what we discovered in a year-long focus on children’s storying, which began with some intriguing questions:  Do babies tell stories?  Can you have a story without words? Is ‘storying’ different from fantasy play? Is one sentence a story?

                                              

Martin Pace, Director of Reflections & Deb Wilenski, Pedagogical Advisor will be supported by other Reflections educators to give presentations.



Participants:

We welcome registrations from all those working in the area of early childhood and primary education and on creative arts/education projects with young children. 



Programme:

Option of a guided tour of Reflections Nursery with a Reflections educator, or a walk round in your own time


Presentation & Discussion: The Reflections’ Approach - drawing inspiration from Reggio Emilia, Danish Forest Schools and the work of UK pioneers


Lunch and an opportunity to view the nursery further  


Presentation & Discussion: ‘Telling Stories’ - Listening for and supporting children’s narrative explorations
