The project has been incredible - we would highly recommend it to others. Very quickly the children understood the story structure. After only a few weeks of running the sessions children were observed using the story structure in independent play. The phrases 'oh no, there's a problem' is a firm favourite and the children are enjoying finding solutions.
Action plan:
Timeline: We will start our project in September and will be able to have whole staff meetings to do the training on Monday evenings. As a smaller team we already meet fortnightly and some of these meetings can have time allocated to discuss how the project is going.
Budget: The funding will be to sign up to Tales Toolkit programme, recieve their online training and the resources they have available.
Impact: Our nursery community will benefit from increased communication and language skills. We can look at the baseline data and see the progression of commmunication and language over the year. Around 100 children will benefit from the project directly. We are also hoping that the skills and language they gain at nursery is then taken home and indorectly will benefit the wider community.
Location: The project will take place at Norcot Nursery and within the classrooms. We have the permission required to run the project.
Ah big thank you for sharing your pictures. It's great to see it in action. Sorry for my slow reply. Problem is always a favourite! We always say that the children are most enthusiastic when the team are behind it so it's a testament to you and your team that it;s working so well. Always happy to support and help if you need anything :)
