Planning for Effective Teaching for Young Learners

 Welcome to "Planning for Effective Teaching for Young Learners"!

Effective teaching begins with thoughtful planning, especially when working with young learners. This blog explores the key principles and strategies for designing lessons that engage, inspire, and support children in their learning journey. From creating clear objectives to incorporating interactive and age-appropriate activities, we’ll dive into practical approaches that make teaching both effective and enjoyable.


Sensory Mathematics (Caterpillars)

Develops the ability to analyse the external, visual qualities of objects using sensory standards such as colour, shape and size. It builds the foundation for the development of mental abilities.


HIDE THE MOUSE 




Logic. Making logical connections (Butterflies)

Helping young children develop the ability to think systematically about the world.


YELLOW FLOWERS 




Mathematics. (Caterpillars and Butterflies)

Using visual models children discover the language of Mathematics and the concept of measurement, compare different quantities and qualities of objects and explore the relationships more, less, equal.

BUTTONS FOR BUTTONHOLES



NUMICON





Visual-Spatial Modeling. Story Grammar

Develops a love of story, ownership of story language and a profound understanding of story structure by following a specific set of procedures known as visual modelling.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS



Developmental Games (Caterpillars and Butterflies).

Playing in small and large groups children develop productive imagination, symbolic literacy, language and communication skills, flexible thinking, creative problem solving, self-regulation  and self-esteem.


FREEZE GAME




ROBOTS



Artographics. (Caterpillars)

Cultivates the essential skills required both for writing and creative artistic expression. Develops 'art vision' and introduces different symbolic tools: composition, rhythm and colour.

FINGER GYM EXERCISES



Visual-spatial. (Butterflies)


Develops spatial awareness and the ability to 'read' maps. Children look at objects in space and use symbols to represent what they and others see through visual models - maps, schemes and plans.

FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW



Creative modelling. (Caterpillars)

Through shared activity children discover symmetry and pattern by manipulating geometric shapes to create artistic compositions of the world around them. Develops cooperative and social skills.

Construction. (Caterpillars and Butterflies)

Develops mathematical and goal directed behaviour. Children analyse the structure of objects, plan, explain their plans and execute them using wooden modular building blocks.

DRIVE OVER, FLOAT UNDER



WHERE IS MY BED?




Exploration. (Butterflies).

Through games, stories and simple yet powerful experiments children discover important scientific concepts - states of matter, different qualities of substances and transformations.
