Inspiring children’s learning in KS1 – Webinar Series – All 4 dates

Kickstarter Project – Universal Offer for schools

Session one: Transition into Year 1. Wednesday 22nd May 2024

When children leave reception and enter KS1 there is no switch that automatically changes children’s brains to automatically effectively learn through traditional teaching, as opposed to learning through play. Child development and neuroscience explains that children learn best through play until the age of 7. This session will explore how play can be so powerful beyond EYFS and how teachers can still ensure children learn the statutory national curriculum through a much more engaging and motivating way.

Session two: Connecting the curriculums. Wednesday 19th June 2024 

Continuing from the first workshop, session two will explore how children can learn all that is expected of them from the KS1 National Curriculum without ignoring the characteristics of effective learning. We will dive into ways in which we can create exciting, inspirational learning opportunities that support the national curriculum and align with research informed practice to ensure children continue to build on their learning from EYFS.

Session three: Effective use of assessment in KS1. Wednesday 3rd July 2024

Effective assessment is a cornerstone of powerful learning and ensuring we use it to identify gaps and support individual learners is essential in excellent teaching. This webinar will explore best ways to do so whilst considering child development and where children are in their learning journey. We will explore how the changes to the EYFS Framework in 2021 and changes to the KS1 Statutory Assessments for 2024 are reducing paperwork and recording without clear outcomes. We will focus on how we can observe, have child development conversations, and adapt our practice and provision in accordance to what is seen to ensure that all children’s unique needs are continued to be met as children transition into KS1 and beyond.

Session four: Enabling environments and adults in KS1. Wednesday 10th July 2024

This webinar is designed to deepen understanding around the pivotal role adults have in facilitating meaningful and purposeful interactions in the classroom environment. The session will provide strategies to enhance and scaffold the nuanced ways in which adults can support children in KS1 – looking at observations, intentional planning, child development conversations and frameworks to ensure children can develop skills for life. We will also consider how educators can create enriching, effective learning environments beyond the initial transition into KS1. Participants will leave with tools to complement their existing skillset, with strategies to support child-initiated learning, teaching practice and overall wellbeing of every individual.
