SUMMARY:How to Write Meaningful Observations
DESCRIPTION:How to Write Meaningful Observations\nMany practitioners tell us that observation\, assessment\, and planning can feel overwhelming — especially when there’s pressure to record learning rather than truly understand it. \nThis online practice clinic\, led by highly experienced nursery practitioners\, is designed to help you slow down\, think deeply\, and make sense of what you notice in children’s play and everyday activity. \nRather than focusing on formats or paperwork\, we’ll work together to explore how thoughtful observation can meaningfully inform teaching and practice.

SUMMARY:Schema and Maths Network
DESCRIPTION:This network explores how schema theory can support meaningful mathematical learning experiences for young children and how practitioners can use children’s schematic interests to inform planning\, environments and interactions. Together\, we consider how recognising and responding to schemas can deepen children’s engagement with mathematical concepts through play\, movement\, exploration and relationships. \nThe aim of this network is to provide support in using schema theory to inform maths planning and help embed this approach across your team.
