Description

A former Early Years Lead and Assistant Headteacher, Greg is passionate about education being an adventure not a pre-drawn route for children.

If these are questions you are having or if you are seeking success in your Early Years setting then “Can I Go And Play Now. I’m out in beautiful Qatar and if you’re one of the Play People in EY or KS1 you’ve got one last chance to come tomorrow to Sherborne Senior School, Rawdat Al Jahhaniya, Doha from 9am-2pm. Ideal for Reception, KS1 and into KS2, the concept of Play Projects is firmly rooted in the belief that children are creative, collaborative and can lead their own learning trajectory.How long was it in the Education Sector before you realised the need for an initiative like ‘CAN I GO AND PLAY NOW’? There is a narrative that children’s progress has to be endlessly tracked and monitored and this has led to a huge swathe of spreadsheet-ism and the marketisation of education which in turn has shaped children’s early learning experiences into a ‘rush and push’ for early academics and ‘success’. In regards to the changing of teacher roles, do you believe this should simply be a classroom exercise to be used when appropriate. My work is trying to show that you can have all the spreadsheets in the world, but you have failed children if you have eroded their identity by not giving them space for a childhood.

Join him as he explores Adventure Island, a magical world of story and make-believe with his two little dogs, Bonnie and Eppie, as well as a host of other characters including Zoomer the Number Dog, Bob The Brick, the Magic Mustard Tin, and Tiny Ted, with many new and wonderful friends to meet along the way. As adults, we encouraged the children to think about what the monster might look like, using all of these clues. Of course this requires change, both in our professional practice as well as in government written curriculum but Greg will guide you through how to work alongside the latter. Right away I could tell that Greg makes clear sense in what he's saying in that what our youngest children need is the "best version of you" and your understanding that they are children and will create noise, mess, chaos and fun!These simple activities serve as a powerful reminder of the tremendous impact that play, coupled with the guidance of adults, has on a child's development, well-being, and love for learning. The key to it all has been the realisation that childhood is a mystery, so that keeps me wanting to explore and discover what children are trying to tell us. Greg encourages us all to amplify what childhood wants in our provision and planning, namely: choice, intention, size, nature, nonsense, magic, malevolence and love! Drawing Club puts you, the creative teacher, back at the centre of your teaching - no scheme, no syllabus, no set texts, but freedom to adventure with the concept and bring yourself and the world of story to life. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Neoliberalism’s control on education is based on the myth that there is no alternative to it’s system.Not only have I read this ‘EYFS bible’ but I’ve snipped bits for training, planned my next vision meeting and re designed my whole setting. And on an international stage, Drawing Club is making its way across the continents - I wonder where its magic will end up next? If you are looking for a way to change your current thinking and practice then you can do no wrong picking up and reading this book. We want our young children to engage in the world of story and books, and what better way to do it than to live in it. It was this that I was determined to take into education with me – choice, independence, curiosity, collaboration and kindness.
