00:00:15.255 --> 00:00:18.485
Hello, welcome back to the final session of Tales Toolkit.

2
00:00:19.185 --> 00:00:22.565
You've been introduced to the three principles, which are

3
00:00:23.155 --> 00:00:26.125
safe, space child-led, and fun.

4
00:00:27.025 --> 00:00:29.525
You know how to use all of the resources

5
00:00:29.825 --> 00:00:30.885
and you've been creating

6
00:00:31.145 --> 00:00:32.445
and recording lots

7
00:00:32.445 --> 00:00:34.485
of imaginative stories with your children.

8
00:00:35.235 --> 00:00:38.565
Today's session is time to reflect, to look back at

9
00:00:38.585 --> 00:00:41.645
how you've been doing, think of some next steps,

10
00:00:42.065 --> 00:00:45.565
and also to give yourself a great big pat on the back

11
00:00:45.865 --> 00:00:49.125
for all the fantastic creative storytelling

12
00:00:49.125 --> 00:00:50.485
you've been doing with your children.

13
00:00:51.205 --> 00:00:52.325
Teaching is a tough job

14
00:00:52.505 --> 00:00:54.645
and you don't celebrate the achievements enough.

15
00:00:55.185 --> 00:00:56.805
You are doing an amazing job.

16
00:00:57.185 --> 00:01:01.445
So the theme of today's session is, look how great we are.

17
00:01:01.865 --> 00:01:03.805
I'm not going to be talking as much today.

18
00:01:04.315 --> 00:01:07.365
Instead, you are going to have time to reflect on

19
00:01:07.385 --> 00:01:09.005
how it's been going with Tell's Toolkit.

20
00:01:09.545 --> 00:01:11.365
And at the end of the session, all

21
00:01:11.365 --> 00:01:15.565
of the notes can be collected to create one report with lots

22
00:01:15.565 --> 00:01:18.725
of information about the fantastic job you're doing.

23
00:01:19.225 --> 00:01:20.365
But before we get going,

24
00:01:20.575 --> 00:01:24.525
let's have a quick talk about progress you've been using.

25
00:01:24.745 --> 00:01:26.805
Tell's toolkit across your provision,

26
00:01:27.765 --> 00:01:29.245
collaboratively telling stories,

27
00:01:29.825 --> 00:01:33.045
but also setting children up using the Tell's toolkit

28
00:01:33.445 --> 00:01:36.765
structure independently to create stories

29
00:01:37.065 --> 00:01:38.965
and solve real life problems.

30
00:01:39.515 --> 00:01:42.405
Through that interest of these particular children

31
00:01:42.915 --> 00:01:45.965
playing in boxes, being pirates, they would then say, right,

32
00:01:46.195 --> 00:01:47.285
okay, well there's a problem.

33
00:01:47.795 --> 00:01:50.205
There's a problem. What can we do?

34
00:01:50.205 --> 00:01:51.845
And the other little ones would say, well,

35
00:01:51.845 --> 00:01:53.205
let's find a solution.

36
00:01:53.675 --> 00:01:58.045
They never had this concept before of through a problem.

37
00:01:58.375 --> 00:01:59.965
There would always be a solution,

38
00:02:00.705 --> 00:02:02.605
and that that was through Tell Toolkit.

39
00:02:02.865 --> 00:02:05.045
So that was amazing to see

40
00:02:05.235 --> 00:02:07.485
that they're getting the concept now of no matter

41
00:02:08.435 --> 00:02:09.965
what you face in life or,

42
00:02:09.965 --> 00:02:13.805
or what problems are ahead, let's find something to,

43
00:02:13.855 --> 00:02:14.925
let's find a solution.

44
00:02:14.925 --> 00:02:17.245
Let's find out how we can sort this out.

45
00:02:18.105 --> 00:02:19.965
You want to show off the big picture

46
00:02:20.265 --> 00:02:21.845
for people visiting your school

47
00:02:22.385 --> 00:02:25.965
and let others see your children as creative problem solvers

48
00:02:26.025 --> 00:02:27.285
and independent thinkers.

49
00:02:27.715 --> 00:02:28.685
This shouldn't add to your,

50
00:02:38.425 --> 00:02:41.485
In today's session, you've reflected on your practice

51
00:02:41.945 --> 00:02:45.605
and created a few next steps so you can continue to improve

52
00:02:46.105 --> 00:02:48.525
and you've thought about how you can communicate

53
00:02:48.525 --> 00:02:51.125
with others, thinking about what you might discuss.

54
00:02:52.045 --> 00:02:53.045
I just want to end

55
00:02:53.105 --> 00:02:57.285
by saying a big well done on getting this far Tells toolkit

56
00:02:57.545 --> 00:02:58.885
is really adaptable.

57
00:02:59.265 --> 00:03:02.685
And over time, I'm sure you're going to continue coming up

58
00:03:02.875 --> 00:03:05.925
with new creative ways of using the kit

59
00:03:05.985 --> 00:03:07.445
and improving your practice.

60
00:03:07.925 --> 00:03:10.765
A lot of today's session comes back to one thing,

61
00:03:11.335 --> 00:03:13.485
shout about the great things that you're doing.

62
00:03:14.225 --> 00:03:15.845
Say, look how great we are.

63
00:03:15.915 --> 00:03:18.525
Sometimes with all of the stresses of teaching

64
00:03:18.865 --> 00:03:21.525
and all the paperwork involved, you can forget

65
00:03:21.525 --> 00:03:23.125
what an amazing job you're doing.

66
00:03:23.665 --> 00:03:25.685
And I want to end by bringing you back

67
00:03:25.705 --> 00:03:27.605
to something I said in Session One.

68
00:03:28.305 --> 00:03:31.485
We have no idea what the future holds for your children,

69
00:03:32.105 --> 00:03:34.005
but we do know that children

70
00:03:34.185 --> 00:03:38.125
who are creative problem solvers have good communication

71
00:03:38.125 --> 00:03:41.365
skills and high levels of wellbeing are going

72
00:03:41.365 --> 00:03:44.085
to fare far better in an ever changing world.

73
00:03:44.665 --> 00:03:48.165
And I'm sure by now you'll have realized the potential

74
00:03:48.165 --> 00:03:51.125
that Tales Toolkit has to really make a difference.

75
00:03:51.665 --> 00:03:55.325
Tap into every area of development with the language,

76
00:03:55.395 --> 00:03:59.245
with the listening, the communicating, the personal social

77
00:03:59.265 --> 00:04:00.485
and emotional development.

78
00:04:02.255 --> 00:04:03.565
Maths comes into play

79
00:04:03.565 --> 00:04:06.525
because you've got positional language, you've got counting,

80
00:04:06.665 --> 00:04:07.845
you've got it.

81
00:04:07.905 --> 00:04:10.965
It taps into pretty much every other area of development

82
00:04:11.225 --> 00:04:13.205
and it, and it's really,

83
00:04:14.665 --> 00:04:18.045
you can make your own resources up, you can add,

84
00:04:18.305 --> 00:04:20.885
you could go with a child's interest, go with their,

85
00:04:21.375 --> 00:04:24.005
their favorite character you can go with.

86
00:04:24.545 --> 00:04:27.405
It really is about your individual unique child

87
00:04:27.585 --> 00:04:32.085
and just having fun through storytelling

88
00:04:32.265 --> 00:04:32.685
and play.
