The Drawing Club and Foundations of Early Writing takes place on 20 October 2026 at the Kent Room, Swansea Guildhall. This free family event examines how drawing, talking, and play support children's early writing development. It focuses on authentic and developmentally appropriate practices.
Explore how Drawing Club, talk & play support children’s journey into early writing through authentic, developmentally appropriate practice.
Trosolwg: Mae’r dysgu proffesiynol hwn yn cefnogi ymarferwyr i ddeall sut mae ysgrifennu cynnar yn datblygu o siarad, chwarae a lluniadu i farcio ac ysgrifennu pwrpasol. Gan ddefnyddio egwyddorion Y Clwb Darlunio, bydd y sesiwn yn archwilio sut i greu profiadau llythrennedd cyfoethog, dilys a datblygiadol briodol sy’n cefnogi dychymyg, iaith lafar ac annibyniaeth.
Cynulleidfa darged: Uwch arweinwyr, arweinwyr Dysgu Sylfaen a/neu lythrennedd, athrawon, HLTA a chynorthwywyr addysgu.
Nodau’r sesiwn: datblygu dealltwriaeth gadarn o gynnydd mewn ysgrifennu cynnar; cynllunio profiadau llythrennedd sy’n uno siarad, adrodd straeon, lluniadu ac ysgrifennu; creu amgylcheddau ac ymyriadau sy’n cefnogi cyfansoddi cynnar; a chynyddu cyfleoedd ar gyfer ysgrifennu dilys, dan arweiniad y plentyn.
Ar gyfer gweithwyr ysgolion Abertawe yn unig.
