Keynote and Workshop:
Join Shonette Bason, acclaimed speaker and passionate advocate for Early childhood, as she shines a light on one of the most pressing issues facing our youngest generation: digital childhood. Looking at how this presents itself inside your classroom today.

Did you know the average early years child now spends 6 hours a day on a device? The impact on development, wellbeing, and learning is profound. But there is a solution and it starts with movement.

In this eye-opening and ideas filled session, Shonette will share:

- Why movement is essential, not optional, in early childhood to raise data
- How balance, not blame, can help families and educators navigate technology
- Practical strategies to reclaim childhood through teaching, connection, and joyful physical activities that slide into a Early Years timetable with ease.

Movement is the answer. Balance is the goal. Childhood depends on both.

Don't miss this inspiring opportunity to rethink digital habits and empower the children in your care to thrive, body, mind, and heart. (And data!)

Workshop:
This dynamic session, led by PE consultant Jess Squires, explores how dance, gymnastics, and indoor physical activities can enrich learning and development in Early Years settings. The workshop will offer practical, engaging, and inclusive ideas that can be delivered in classrooms, halls, or any indoor space - no specialist equipment needed.

Through imaginative movement; foundational gymnastics; mindful Yoga and creative dance, you will discover how to support children's physical development, coordination, confidence, and creativity. The session will also highlight how physical activity links to key areas of the EYFS framework.

This workshop will leave you with a toolkit of ideas and a renewed enthusiasm for getting children moving with purpose and joy.

Expect to move, play, and reflect as we explore how to create active, engaging environments that nurture every child's potential, physically, socially, and emotionally.

From large-scale collaborative art work to movement-inspired mark-making, you will discover how to blend fine motor skills with gross motor play, turning every brushstroke into a burst of energy and imagination. Walk away with practical ideas, adaptable resources, and a fresh perspective on how art can be a joyful, dynamic part of your early years setting.
