Take a masterclass with Michael Rosen at the Nursery World Show 2016

Famous author, poet and broadcaster Michael Rosen will lead a morning masterclass at the Nursery World Show 2016 on 5 February.

He will be joined by Penny Tassoni and Alice Sharp for 'We're going on a language hunt', where you can discover the invaluable role of story and rhyme in early learning and language development, and gain ideas for story sharing and story telling, along with a special focus on stories and rhymes for birth to threes.

This event is part of an inspirational mix of 20 hour-long seminars and two half-day masterclasses on the programme at the Show on 5 and 6 February, which has just been released.

Saturday's masterclass, 'Early years provision in schools - policy and practice', also boasts a fantastic line-up, with Professor Tina Bruce, Dr Julian Grenier, Jan Dubiel, Lynn McNair and Jane Whinnett. Speakers will explore the drive towards more early years provision in schools, creating environments to meet the emotional and learning needs of the child, transitions and assessment.

Hour-long seminars on offer include:

  • Preparing for Ofsted inspection
  • Challenge and adventure in children's learning outdoors with Kathryn Solly
  • The place of ICT in early learning environments with Harriet Price
  • Kay Mathieson on challenging behaviour
