Loving Literacy
Join us for our Avon Education literacy month to experience the new approaches, methods and insights into the way children interact with language, creativity and expression. These life skills are transposable and what we learn in one language can be used in another….maybe not the words, but the foundations, organisation skills, collaborative learning/sharing, using resources and self-expression.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the course, giving you the skills and strategies to build your teaching practice, your professional knowledge and enhance children’s learning.

Creative Writing for Early years
Yvonne Dalorto
Creativity does not happen immediately with children! The interactions they have, stories, their experiences and play all support the ‘creative writing path’ and Creative Cognition. During the first sessions, we will explore how children make connections to the language they use and strategies for understanding the dynamics of writing, which is a life skill! Getting the ‘scaffolding’ in place means children have a secure foundation to move onto.

Creative Writing for Primary years

As children progress with their literacy skills, we need to help them refine their ideas, styles and skills that can be applied to all areas of writing. Providing us with structure and advice is a young vibrant author and teacher Varun Gwalani, who will be navigating you through the challenges children face as they move up in Primary and a more diverse approach is required to writing.
