Nature Kindergartens - Making a Start

Approaches to Education, Outdoor Learning, Play

It is widely accepted that unstructured outdoor play improves children’s physical and emotional development, mental well being, social skills and opportunities for creative learning.
Between 2006 and 2008 almost eighty nature kindergartens were developed in schools in Fife where children go out into woodland, forest or foreshore on a regular basis.
This half-day workshop will be facilitated by Chris Miles, who was instrumental in developing this initiative in Fife and who was recently awarded an MBE for services to Education and Young People. At the end of the day participants will go home determined to make something happen, and confident of their ability to do it!

Transforming Early Years Spaces on a Shoestring

Approaches to Education, Play
A quality environment for children’s development cannot just be bought ‘off the peg’. Enriching children’s learning environments takes careful planning and consideration of the whole needs of the child both physical and emotional. A balance between simply providing new equipment on a regular basis and integrating this within a philosophy of development is required. The tutor is was pre-school education coordinator at Fife Council.

This half-day workshop will give participants an understanding of what is, and what is not, required to provide rich and meaningful early years experiences, and provide ideas as to how to achieve this.

Fetal alcohol harm: How to identify and support children with FASD

Additional Support Needs, Working with Families, Health and Wellbeing
It is estimated that around 10,000 children and young people (0-17) across Scotland have been harmed by exposure to alcohol during pregnancy. The brain damage common to all people having FASD will not go way -- and neither will the need to better understand and assist them. Find out what has been learned about what kinds of help seem to make a positive difference at home, at pre-school/school and in the community. Bring your experiences or ideas about what it might mean to improve the wellbeing of those having FASD and their parents, siblings and classmates.
