Peacemakers and the Peace Hub are hosting another free workshop at their premises in central Birmingham. The workshop is for 4 children [KS2] and one adult, two if required.
Workshop dates are Monday 5th November or Friday 9th November, 9:45am – 14:30pm
We will be thinking about the choices people made during WW1, and how those choices influence us today. We will also be thinking about what we can do today to stand up for peace.
The workshop will be interactive and engaging and will hopefully inspire your four young people to go back to school and share their thinking with their peers.
Please return the attached booking form as soon as you can. We have space for 3 schools on each day and priority will be given to schools who have not attended these workshops before.
Talk for reading focuses on the way that children’s talk underpins the development of their reading (and writing).
We will look at:
The development of talk; the crucial role of serve and return conversations; building firm foundations in communication and language to support reading.
Research findings related to language and early reading – what are the implications for learning and teaching, looking at the proposed revisions to the EYFS?
Ask the question “When does talk turn into reading?”
Please see flier below for more details.
