About
Unlock the Power of Children’s Self‑Chosen Play
Join us in York City Centre for an inspiring full‑day SchemaPlay™️ training event designed for early years practitioners across the Hull & Humber region. This highly interactive session will deepen your understanding of how children’s play reveals their developing schemes, concepts, and learning continuities — and how we can respond with rich environments, sensitive interactions and purposeful planning.
What You Will Explore
Identifying and interpreting children’s trajectory, positioning, transporting, enveloping and other core schemes
Seeding environments that extend children’s thinking and support metacognition
Using Sustained Shared Thinking (SST) to deepen children’s problem‑solving and enquiry
How SchemaPlay™️ supports curriculum design, observation, assessment and planning
Real case studies from babies, toddlers, SEND and outdoor learning
Who Is This Training For?
Nursery practitioners

Early years teachers
SEND practitioners
Leaders and managers
Anyone passionate about meaningful, child‑led learning
A Day of Inspiration, Exploration & Practical Strategies
Expect a warm, collaborative atmosphere with hands‑on activities, professional dialogue and ideas you can take straight back to your setting.
