00:00:12.675 --> 00:00:14.585
Hello, welcome back to session two.

2
00:00:14.955 --> 00:00:17.385
Today you are going to start using our resources.

3
00:00:17.725 --> 00:00:21.305
So get ready for creative, fun storytelling

4
00:00:21.445 --> 00:00:23.305
and just wait to be astounded

5
00:00:23.305 --> 00:00:25.185
by the difference you'll see in your children.

6
00:00:25.695 --> 00:00:28.745
Last session we talked about how important it is

7
00:00:29.045 --> 00:00:31.265
to develop quality interactions with children.

8
00:00:31.405 --> 00:00:34.985
In early years Tale's Toolkit has quality interactions at

9
00:00:34.985 --> 00:00:36.825
the core of everything we develop.

10
00:00:37.045 --> 00:00:40.905
So throughout today's training, keep in mind those top tips.

11
00:00:41.885 --> 00:00:44.425
Let the child lead tune in.

12
00:00:44.855 --> 00:00:48.265
Careful use of language, careful use of questioning.

13
00:00:48.525 --> 00:00:52.345
By the end of today's training, I want you to understand how

14
00:00:52.345 --> 00:00:56.225
to tell a simple story and how tell toolkit develop skills.

15
00:00:57.095 --> 00:00:59.825
Part one, how to tell a simple story.

16
00:01:00.315 --> 00:01:03.665
Today we're going to be showing you the first of the Tales,

17
00:01:03.665 --> 00:01:06.545
toolkit, resources, and there's lots more to come.

18
00:01:06.965 --> 00:01:10.785
But using our Tales toolkit, big kit is the first step

19
00:01:10.805 --> 00:01:13.305
to set children up as creative storytellers.

20
00:01:13.645 --> 00:01:17.785
The big kit comes with four large bags with Velcro seals,

21
00:01:18.085 --> 00:01:20.625
so they're safe for even the youngest children to use.

22
00:01:21.125 --> 00:01:23.745
And these come with an outer bag so

23
00:01:23.745 --> 00:01:25.825
that you can hang the whole lot up in the cupboard.

24
00:01:26.005 --> 00:01:28.185
So your special bits don't go walkabout.

25
00:01:28.565 --> 00:01:31.265
The four Velcro bags are labeled with the symbols.

26
00:01:31.735 --> 00:01:35.945
Character setting problem. Solution.

27
00:01:36.395 --> 00:01:37.865
These symbols are key.

28
00:01:38.135 --> 00:01:41.185
They're on all of our resources and are really clear.

29
00:01:41.325 --> 00:01:44.385
So very young children, those little language

30
00:01:44.725 --> 00:01:47.505
and not yet reading are able to recognize them.

31
00:01:47.985 --> 00:01:50.825
Children are encouraged to pull different items from the

32
00:01:50.825 --> 00:01:53.625
bags, and together you create stories

33
00:01:54.045 --> 00:01:56.345
and bring them to life as in action.

34
00:01:56.725 --> 00:01:59.305
Voices and sounds. Tales talk.

35
00:01:59.445 --> 00:02:03.545
Its symbols shown while saying the words character setting.

36
00:02:03.975 --> 00:02:06.785
Problem. Solution are quickly learn

37
00:02:06.805 --> 00:02:08.705
by children working at different levels.

38
00:02:09.295 --> 00:02:11.945
This repetition of words, symbols,

39
00:02:12.125 --> 00:02:15.665
and story strengthen those neural pathways in the brain

40
00:02:15.765 --> 00:02:18.505
and they become really easy to remember pegs

41
00:02:18.505 --> 00:02:20.505
for the children to hang stories on. So

42
00:02:20.505 --> 00:02:23.865
What Tales Toolkit offers is a framework

43
00:02:24.405 --> 00:02:28.905
for supporting children's first steps in making up stories,

44
00:02:29.985 --> 00:02:34.305
imaginative play, putting ideas together and into sequences.

45
00:02:34.765 --> 00:02:37.585
And that sort of framework can be hugely

46
00:02:37.585 --> 00:02:38.705
helpful to children.

47
00:02:39.055 --> 00:02:41.985
This is a powerful tool, giving the children freedom

48
00:02:42.205 --> 00:02:44.265
to create stories with familiar items.

49
00:02:44.815 --> 00:02:46.545
Introduce the bags to the children.

50
00:02:47.085 --> 00:02:50.065
So today we are not gonna tell a story using a book.

51
00:02:50.455 --> 00:02:53.345
What we gonna use? Storytelling.

52
00:02:53.565 --> 00:02:55.625
We are gonna do storytelling with their bags,

53
00:02:55.775 --> 00:02:56.785
with our tells toolkit.

54
00:02:56.935 --> 00:02:59.285
Bags, don't worry too much about the children.

55
00:02:59.765 --> 00:03:00.965
Remembering the names of the bags.

56
00:03:01.345 --> 00:03:03.165
The symbols and the story structure.

57
00:03:03.395 --> 00:03:04.845
This will develop over time.

58
00:03:05.105 --> 00:03:07.725
As the children become familiar with how the bags are used,

59
00:03:07.755 --> 00:03:10.805
encourage the children to say the names of the bags with you

60
00:03:11.145 --> 00:03:12.805
and they'll quickly pick this up.

61
00:03:12.805 --> 00:03:13.885
Should we do it together?

62
00:03:14.955 --> 00:03:17.565
Character setting,

63
00:03:18.555 --> 00:03:20.845
problem solution.

64
00:03:21.295 --> 00:03:23.485
Start with the character bag. Character.

65
00:03:23.745 --> 00:03:26.165
Is this our character bag? Yeah. Yeah.

66
00:03:26.585 --> 00:03:27.685
Choose one of the children

67
00:03:27.865 --> 00:03:29.365
to pull a character from the bag.

68
00:03:29.865 --> 00:03:32.325
And at the start, you take control of the props,

69
00:03:32.495 --> 00:03:35.165
especially in larger groups as its key.

70
00:03:35.425 --> 00:03:38.445
You bring the stories to life, make the character talk,

71
00:03:39.115 --> 00:03:40.245
move dance.

72
00:03:41.005 --> 00:03:43.245
Modeling this before the children have a go.

73
00:03:43.245 --> 00:03:45.765
Encourage the children to tell you about the character.

74
00:03:46.445 --> 00:03:49.565
Remember though, careful use of questioning. Hmm.

75
00:03:49.645 --> 00:03:52.365
I wonder who this is. I'd like to know their name.

76
00:03:52.745 --> 00:03:55.165
You might want to use story language here.

77
00:03:55.675 --> 00:03:56.765
Keep stories simple.

78
00:03:57.195 --> 00:03:58.445
Just chat about one

79
00:03:58.585 --> 00:04:00.965
or two things that the character likes to do.

80
00:04:01.315 --> 00:04:02.925
Next, introduce the setting.

81
00:04:03.215 --> 00:04:05.405
Shall we look in the setting bag to see

82
00:04:05.405 --> 00:04:08.205
where our character is going today? Adam said,

83
00:04:08.205 --> 00:04:08.565
It's a very,

84
00:04:21.075 --> 00:04:22.285
it's pepper pig.

85
00:04:24.655 --> 00:04:27.205
Using tell's toolkit, you'll see an improvement in the

86
00:04:27.325 --> 00:04:28.365
children's language development.

87
00:04:28.915 --> 00:04:33.745
This was the first story from a nursery boy is the Dragon,

88
00:04:34.855 --> 00:04:37.635
and after just a few weeks of using Tell's toolkit,

89
00:04:37.945 --> 00:04:41.755
this was the story that he told once upon a time,

90
00:04:41.805 --> 00:04:45.075
their crocodile in a sparkly house.

91
00:04:46.005 --> 00:04:49.025
The problem was bear the bear sad.

92
00:04:49.425 --> 00:04:53.585
Crocodile the bear. Share glasses and share friends.

93
00:05:03.285 --> 00:05:05.905
The storytelling you provide now is setting your children

94
00:05:06.005 --> 00:05:07.025
up to be curious.

95
00:05:07.985 --> 00:05:10.345
Creative adults with good communication skills

96
00:05:11.045 --> 00:05:12.425
and the best bit,

97
00:05:12.775 --> 00:05:14.385
because it's led by the children,

98
00:05:14.695 --> 00:05:16.225
there's virtually no planning.

99
00:05:16.605 --> 00:05:18.505
You just pick up the bags and go,

100
00:05:18.925 --> 00:05:21.745
and who knows where your stories will lead.
