Helping parents understand phonics, maths, writing, play and the curriculum in the Early Years classroom
Things have changed since we were at school. The universal adoption of synthetic phonics, relational maths and play based learning have left parents scratching their heads in wonder at how it all works, and how they can help their child at home. Whilst you may be used to your child’s pre-school being highly communicative, school is a different matter, and most parents report hearing very little about what actually happens between drop-off and pick-up. School Explained will give you the confidence to support your child’s learning at home, and help you understand the guiding principles behind modern Early Years teaching.

This session has deepened my understanding of how children communicate and engage through play. Recognising and responding to play cues not only supports the child's immediate play experience but also contributes to their overall development.

I didn't realise just how important free play is for children and all the benefits it brings for them.
I found it really interesting hearing about how we can encourage children to learn using the flow state. I remember that I have done this unintentionally in the past and it has worked really well. It is good to hear about how it is possible to achieve some life skills whilst engaging children in play.
Ellen M
I definitely have new insights from the session, especially the play types. I have more awareness of play cues sent by children which might sometimes be ignored.
