Singing and music with EYFS and SEND block mentored by Lauren Kinnersley
What we'll do
Singing and music making at Forest School - in the early years and SEND. This workshop will primarily focus on the early years and children with SEND. We will explore the power and benefits of using song and music with young people. It is beneficial to health and well being, helping us to connect to our bodies and emotions. It is a great connector; connecting us to each other and a sense of community. It can connect us to our creativity and playfulness, and to the wider natural world. Music and sound play an important role in sensory development and learning. We will explore ways that we can enrich the sensory experience for the child and encourage and support sound exploration and play. The workshop will offer a supportive space for us to share ideas, songs and experiences. The aim is that you come away feeling inspired to use music making and singing more in your sessions; feel more confident to do so and take away practical ideas and songs.
About your mentors
Lauren Kinnersley
Freelance Forest School Leader
I started out as a health professional in the NHS with a focus on health promotion, until I discovered Forest School in 2005. I qualified as a level 3 Forest School Leader in 2006, and left the NHS in 2010 to focus on working with children outdoors. In 2012 I completed the Steiner Teacher training, and I take a lot of inspiration from the Steiner Waldorf pedagogy into my work. The training unlocked my own creativity, sadly not encouraged in my own education. It has led me to adventures in storytelling, using and making puppets and singing and music. I am especially interested in working creatively outdoors with young people of all ages and abilities. Current work included; working with children living in a disadvantaged area experiencing social, emotional and mental health challenges; sensory explorations outdoors with young people in a SEND school; working with home educating families; delivering forest school to children age 3 -4 years at Sherwood Playgroup. I am especially interested in the therapeutic impact of time outdoors and of play, and in October 2024 I am beginning a Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play, the first step in training as a play therapist.
