Kinetic Letters and Guided Drawing/Writing in Early Years LIMITED
Friday June 27, 2025 10:35am - 11:30am BST
Handwriting is a complex skill , far more complex than reading because it involves physical dexterity as well as cognitive processing.
Margaret Williamson, creator of 'Kinetic Letters', addresses : -
1) Physical strength, dexterity and body development
2) Pencil grip
3) Letter and number formation – where they start, where they end
4) Flowing and fluent joined-up writing
This course will guide you through the first two threads of the Kinetic Letters programme - Red Thread : 'Making Bodies Stronger' and Yellow Thread : 'Learning the Letters'. The Red Thread focuses on physical strengthening of the body, motor and spatial preparation and enabling writing positions. The Yellow Thread includes dynamic movements for learning letters, text organisation and sensory experiences for memory and recall.
Come along and see how this can all be put into practice in your Nursery and Reception classrooms through fun and active adult-led sessions as well as looking at how children's physical skills can be developed within continuous provision, indoors and outside, as they play and explore!

PATH is a creative planning process that uses both process and graphic facilitation to create a shared vision of a positive future for individuals, families, teams, and whole organisations. The PATH process is equally as powerful for children and young people as they are for organisations when planning strategy and vision.
This session will be led by two trained facilitators. The process facilitator will guide participants through the stages, and a graphic facilitator will create a large graphic record (poster/picture) of each step in the PATH.
The key outcomes of a PATH include:
• A shared vision within the group of a positive future for USP.
• A commitment to action in moving towards this future.
• A sense of how to achieve this vision.

A PATH for SEND at Unity Schools Partnership LIMITED
Friday June 27, 2025 2:55pm - 3:50pm BST
PATH is a creative planning process that uses both process and graphic facilitation to create a shared vision of a positive future for individuals, families, teams, and whole organisations. The PATH process is equally as powerful for children and young people as they are for organisations when planning strategy and vision.
This session will be led by two trained facilitators. The process facilitator will guide participants through the stages, and a graphic facilitator will create a large graphic record (poster/picture) of each step in the PATH.
The key outcomes of a PATH include:
• A shared vision within the group of a positive future for USP.
• A commitment to action in moving towards this future.
• A sense of how to achieve this vision.
