School Ready with Jo Workshops
The inclusive and welcoming workshops are enjoyable and motivating for all children and parents/carers. They will scaffold learning and support children’s thinking, communication and ability to plan ahead through a variety of tasks. Each 60-minute workshop will have a selection of planned activities and themed sessions. These sessions will enable many practical skills to develop on a weekly basis.
Your child will develop many skills which will include:
*building confidence and ability to bounce back when things become difficult
*develop independence skills
*develop problem-solving skills and plan what to do next
*monitor and adapt creative thinking and ability to communicate
*self-regulate and understand strong feelings and emotions
*how to build friendships and interact with others
*develop their focus, concentration and attention span
*develop ability to hold information in their mind
*follow instructions to carry out set tasks
Each workshop will cater for a small group of 8 to 12 children.
I believe that every child can make individual progress if they are given the right support.
Children’s Learning and Education
Areas of Learning
All workshops are designed to follow a creative structure that focuses on all 7 areas of learning within the EYFS curriculum. These 7 areas are split into Prime and Specific areas.
3 Prime Areas
Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
4 Specific Areas
Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design
Although they are individual subject areas it is important to understand that they are all connected and work together.
Characteristics of Effective learning
Characteristics of effective learning play an important part in children’s development and education. They are woven through all activities. It is vital for each child to explore and develop their confidence within these areas to become learners ready for life.
Playing and Exploring – Children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’.
Active Learning – Children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements.
Creating and Thinking Critically – Children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things.
All workshops provided are an exciting opportunity helping young children to develop the characteristics of effective learning.
Giving Your Child the Best Start to School
The workshops are an opportunity to give your little one quality time which is free from all the distractions of life. The EYFS framework sets the standards that all early year’s providers must meet to guarantee that children learn and develop well. It ensures children are kept healthy and safe. It also ensures that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school.
A Welcoming Workshop like no other
We are an inclusive workshop catering for all children with their parents/carers. We welcome and include everyone in all sessions and provide a very friendly atmosphere.
All adults will have the opportunity to discuss thoughts, feelings and ask questions about school readiness. I strongly believe that the support should be there for both adults and children.
It is an important journey that we will all take together.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
