Training Workshops 2009-10
Flexibility is our trademark:we can work with small groups or large
audiences. We can suggest appropriate training for your staff and
write a training course to suit your needs. With Abi's experience
as a qualified NVQ trainer/assessor, the workshops are delivered
to encourage individuals to participate as much as possible. You
will not be expected to sing solo, but you won't be able to stop
yourself joining in with the singing and actions. Notes and CD handouts
make putting the techniques into practice easy and enjoyable.
We are able to deliver these workshops at your workplace, at your
national or regional conference or we can be commissioned to run
them as part of your current course. We have done this for North
Tyne Metropolitan College as part of their Early Years training
provision and also for Newcastle upon Tyne Surestart as part of
their early years training programme, which is open to anyone working
with children (see calendar). Next
available course date is 2nd November 2009.

Quote " Excellent Sessions! Children of all abilities
were engaged and enjoyed the songs. Very well pitched for our age
range (KS1). They also felt 'wowed' that they'd joined in with a
French Song - great! The CD/resource sheet is great, especially
'Order in the Court room' - we use it for counting in lots of different
sequences, it will be great in Maths." Cath Jordan,
Teacher, West Moor Primary School
Our fees depend on the preparation involved, the number of trainees
and sometimes the travelling time involved. They start at £300
for a tailor made training course. Courses run through Newcastle
upon Tyne Surestart as part of their early years training programme
can be booked on for an individual fee of about £30 (free
if you fall within their catchment area and work in Private Voluntary
and Independent sector childcare). Contact Virginia Camondo on 0191

Please see what our clients say about
our training. If you would like us to run a workshop for you or
adapt something to suit your needs, please contact
us for costings and to discuss this further. If you haven't
seen us running our sessions, then please come along either to Jesmond
or Whitley Bay so you can get a better idea of what we do. If you
can contact us beforehand so we can
chat with you when you come, that would be great, otherwise, just
turn up on the day, with or without a child! See the session
times for more details.
