Musical Storyland CPD

**BOOKING IS NOW OPEN*** for our online Musical Storyland CPD Event on Monday 29th January 7pm-8.30pm!
In this session Sally-Anne Brown and Vic Holmes, who co-wrote the resources for Musical Storyland, will look at two of the programmes in the current series – ‘The Great Race’, in time for Lunar New Year, and also Three Billy Goats Gruff. They will demonstrate how to use the teaching resources, show how to chart progression and share extra musical learning activities. There will also be the opportunity for discussion at the end of the session.
This Zoom event costs just £5 and is suitable for teachers, childminders and EY practitioners as well as parents who may want to use the resources at home.  The CPD element will be recorded so that if you can’t make the event in person you can still receive the video afterwards to watch later.  **Please note that the discussion/Q&A section will not be recorded**
