Southampton & Isle of Wight Music are offering the opportunity for settings with children aged 3-4 to participate in our new CPD and resource library offer. Settings will be able to borrow a set of musical resources under 4 different headings (see below) and will be offered a FREE CPD session with our EYFS specialist practitioner.
The CPD will be offered as a delivery session with the children, staff and our EYFS specialist followed by a reflection session with the staff to embed learning and talk through the resources in the box and continuous provision.
Each resource box will then stay at the setting for approximately 6 weeks (half a term) and you also have the opportunity to borrow other boxes and some individual items such as gathering drums, talking points, handbells and boomwhackers.
