Penny Tassoni

I've just bought Penny Tassoni's new book today, it has a CD on the back page showing three different settings and how she helped them with a few small improvements.

It's a follow on book from her Practical EYFS Handbook. (which I love)

I've had a quick look through it and it looks very good.

Isn't Neil Griffiths great, we've got him as our Keynote speaker at our OCMA conference in April.

Penny Tassoni was at key note speaker at our childminder conference last year and I thought she was really good too. I've got the first book and also the one she has written for the new level 3 diploma, both are so easy to read. Will have a nosey at the new one

I love penny tassonis book, it's like my bible, I use it every week to look at different stages and areas of EYFS. I love her simple suggestions for planned obbs my children love the teddy goes shopping game where teddy has been shopping and he has different fruits in each bag but teddy is not very good a counting and they have to help teddy count correctly, they do laugh when teddy has got it wrong. I also but on the bag the number of items so as they start to recorgnize there numbers. Hannah

They were Saturday Workshops put on by our Early Years team, Mark making to writing, cant listen wont listen, & communication,Language and literacy.
She was brilliant. She showed us one of her school news books aged 6. She told us that she was considered bright many years ago. Now she would be considered special needs! Made you think how much our little ones need to do nowadays.
