music in the frameworks! programme
DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
Welcome A warm welcome to the first East Midlands Early Years Network Conference. We hope you will take away some new ideas, skills and thoughts to help you in your work with young children. And of course we hope you will have fun! The conference is delivered by soundLINCS as part of the Early Years Network project, partially funded by Youth Music, which aims to improve and increase the musical offer to early years children in the East Midlands through targeted networks and online support for early years professionals and music leaders. With thanks for support and contribution from NMPAT. We have an exciting programme for the day – please make sure you have signed up to your workshops as early as possible.
The Workshops A Place for Music Led by Linda Bance Musical activities are such an excellent way of engaging babies, children and young families. This all singing, all dancing, all playing workshop will investigate how we can sing, dance and play around with sound and musical instruments while we 'tick all the boxes' for the Early Years Foundation Stage and at the same time celebrate music for music's sake, As a practitioner it is hoped that you will leave with the knowledge that music is a most powerful tool for learning and that you can broaden the amount of musical activity that you offer so that it becomes a natural part of each day.
Sing, Play, Touch and Hear Led by Hilary Miles A workshop exploring the ways to include the use of ICT in the Early Years classroom, in particular the use of Apps and interactive white boards.
Music All Day Long Led by Sue Nicholls A workshop jam-packed with musical goodies to enhance your delivery of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework for 3-5 year olds, offering accessible songs, activities and singing games to link the Areas of Learning and Development. The material used today will feature puppets, books, toys and many other props to enrich children's musical experience and we shall also investigate recycled and reclaimed instruments to support children's exploration of sounds. Audio files of songs will be emailed to all delegates.
Music Around Us – Activities for our Young Children Lead by Dr Pat Beckley. A workshop exploring how music makes children healthier, engage with the world around them and develop their social skills.
