This conference is designed to enable museum professionals and early years practitioners to discover different approaches for working with pre-school children in museums. It will showcase ways in which the fabulous collections and displays in museums can be used to inspire young minds and will include work in the innovative Art & Play exhibition which is currently on show at Time & Tide.
The day will combine theoretical and practical with fun hands-on workshops led by practitioners from both museums and early years settings.
Jo Graham, an Early Years Specialist with over 20 years' experience, will give a presentation highlighting the wonderful learning that can happen when young children get up close and personal with museum buildings, collections and stories. Jo will also deliver an interactive workshop looking at how museums can put principles into practice.
Charlotte Arculus is an Early Years Art & Music specialist. Her workshop will explore what a playful approach might look like in a museum environment.
Michelle Sorensen is a Learning Officer at the Norwich Castle Museums and Art Gallery, and specialises in work with under 5s. Her workshop will show how objects and collections are a great resource for children’s "active learning", and will use a hands-on approach to show how museums can support the EYFS principles.
Tricia Hall & Polly Ward are members of the Learning Team at Time & Tide Museum. They will be showcasing the activities that have been developed around the Art & Play exhibition.
