This has been the highlight of my year! I have really benefitted from attending the five sessions over the year as I have been able to implement different aspects following each CPD day. For me, the unit of work planning has really strengthened my understanding and delivery of exciting CLL sessions using a quality core text. I have also enjoyed networking with other EYFS teachers and sharing ideas. Thank you Clare and Caroline for sharing your expertise, ideas and enthusiasm with us!
