TACTYC
2010 Day Conference and AGM
Saturday, 13th November 2010.
Novotel, Broad Street, Birmingham
Grounds for play: exploring risk in the outdoor early years environment.
We have some excellent speakers and 'playshop' leaders booked already so please ensure you put this date in your diaries too.
There has been, quite rightly, much emphasis on outdoor play in recent years. A key feature of the early years outdoor environment is risk: risky play is fun, challenging and supports learning but risk-taking can be worrying for adults – educators and parents. Drawing from research and practice, this one-day conference looks at the benefits, challenges and joys of the risky outdoors in ordinary early years settings.
Speakers include:
Helen Tovey, Principal Lecturer, Early Childhood Studies, Roehampton University
Play Outdoors: Risk, challenge and the dangers of safety.
Professor Trisha Maynard: Director of the Centre for Research into Children, Families and Communities, Canterbury Christ Church University
'Letting go': Child-led learning in the outdoor environment.
Andy Burt: Teacher-in-charge of the Early Years Unit, Fishergate Primary School, York
What's Going On? An open-ended approach to outdoor play.
