Trinity conference success

Creating an inspirational outdoor environment for the well-being and learning of young children was the focus of a conference led by Jan White at Trinity University College.
The Conference was part of a training day for 150 early years workers from around Wales, including – teachers, learning support assistants and childminders – who are students on the Geiriau Bach project run by the School of Early Years Education at Trinity University College.
Geiriau Bach is the Welsh Assembly Government funded project run by Trinity to extend the use of Welsh through good practice in early years provision throughout Wales.
The project enables those working with young children to extend bilingual practice and most of the students have very little Welsh or are very unconfident in their use of Welsh.
Sian Wyn Siencyn, Head of Early Years Education at Trinity said “We were very pleased to welcome Jan to Trinity.
"She is internationally known and a highly regarded trainer in early years and although based in Sheffield she has taken a great deal of interest in Wales and the Welsh early years developments.
“The themes of children’s well-being and learning are the key underpinning principles of Flying Start and the Foundation Phase 3 – 7 in Wales and conference participants were encouraged to consider ways in which they can convert Welsh language experiences effectively into good practice in outdoor play and learning”.
