MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES -
Supporting Outdoor Learning In The Foundation Phase
Venues:
1 September 2009, Court Colman Manor Bridgend
3 September 2009, Alyn Waters Country Park, Wrexham
TIME: 9.00 - 15.30
This is an opportunity for museums, archives and libraries to see how they can develop whatever outdoor spaces are available to them to support foundation phase learning activities. It presents an opportunity to network and build links not only with practitioners in this field, but also with exhibitors who have an interest in supporting the delivery of the Foundation Phase.
Both events are aimed at practitioners in libraries, museums and archives in Wales who are involved, or would like to be involved, in the provision of learning experiences to children within the Foundation Phase age range (3-7 yrs).
Aims:
· To illustrate in a practical way how the outdoor environment - whatever space or area that may consist of - can be utilised to deliver the Foundation Phase.
· To provide examples of how a project such as “Words in the Woods” can support delivery of the seven Areas of Learning within the Foundation Phase Framework.
· To develop and strengthen links at both local and national level through a “market place” of exhibition stands
The day will include presentations by Theatre Iolo and Learning Through Landscapes Cymru:
· Theatr Iolo will explain how the Words in the Woods project worked and how it helped the children’s language acquisition. This part of the day will consist of a presentation of stories, led by a facilitator/storyteller and performed in the forest by two actors.
· Learning Through Landscapes Cymru will provide delegates with examples of how they can develop their outdoor provision. This will include areas immediately outside their setting and/or areas of limited space.
These workshops are jointly organised by CyMAL: Museums, Archives and Libraries Wales and DCELLS (Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills). Attendance is free for all delegates. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. As a substantial portion of this day will be held outdoors, delegates are advised to come suitably attired.
