  1. Early Years and KS1 - Cubetto and Early HelanaChueng & Eleni Vasileiadou

  2. Meet Cubettomade of tactile and hard wearing wood

  3. Pedagogies

  4. Task 1 You will be given 6 different activities can you guess the different pedagogy? Please write down which pedagogy it is and why. After you finished can you write which areas of learning each activity is targeting? Choose the Areas of learning depending on the year group you teach. EYFS/KS1

  5. Map Activities to the Areas of Learning (EYFS)

  6. Map Activities to the Areas of Learning (KS1)

  7. Task 2We are going to work in 6 groups. Each group will have 6’ to work with a cubetto on one of the activities

  8. Our Findings • We used Cubetto to work with Reception children • Used mixed ability groups • Tried the different pedagogies • Compared progress

  9. Pros and Cons of each pedagogical approach Tinkering Targeted Task CopyCode ✓predict first, copy the codes and look at prediction again ✓a good starting point/stepping stone for targeted tasks and guided exploration ✓speed up code reading and enable faster code writing ✗lots of repetition needed ✓fun to begin with ✓enable more able children to extend learning using skills and ideas learnt ✗children quickly get stuck, get bored and give up ✓work on specific learning objectives to scaffold knowledge and skills ✗require very clear understanding of the subject matters Project Design Guided Exploration Shared Coding ✓can use a combination of pedagogical approaches ✓a journey of discovery with a high level children’s mental involvement: fun & more long-lasting insightful learning ✓can be used to move children on ✗a lot of teacher input ✓ consolidation & application of a variety of skills ✗ Very careful grouping and differentiated materials required ✗ children need to be very confident ✓mix of collaborative and individual projects ✓Peer learning ✗EYFS children not ready
