Clifton Children’s House
Montessori School
Bristol
6th August - 18th August 2018
Why choose Clifton Children’s House? You will be based in a real Montessori nursery setting, with a small group (maximum 12 students) so there will be many opportunities to share experiences and learn from one another. We are located in Clifton, between Clifton Village and the West End of Bristol. Clifton Village, a five minute walk away, is a beautiful suburb of Bristol, tucked away from the hubbub of city life and located just a fifteen minute walk from the centre. It is renowned for having some of the most iconic spots in Bristol, including Brunel’s famous Suspension Bridge, the Observatory and Bristol Zoo. The West End is round the corner from the nursery and besides numerous retail outlets, supermarkets and coffee shops, you can explore Cabot Tower and Brandon Hill. Brandon Hill is the oldest park in Bristol, where you can enjoy great views over the city and Harbourside area. Located just off Park Street in the West End, it features beautiful paths and a nature conservation area, and of course the icon of Bristol's skyline, Cabot Tower.

motorways, two local train stations (Temple Meads and
Clifton Down) and are served well by buses (First Bus).
Bristol Airport is very convenient, being only 20 minutes
away by taxi, and with a bus service to Clifton.
Parking in Clifton can potentially be difficult and expensive
unless you stay at a hotel/B&B with car parking facilities.
Accommodation We are based in Clifton which attracts a large amount of visitors every year, especially over these weeks in August when the International Balloon Fiesta often takes place.

Professional DiscussionWorkshop Hours and Preparation Workshop Hours For the Apparatus workshop hours will be between 9am and 6pm which will include two hours of supervised apparatus practice (4-6pm daily) You must attend on both Saturdays (but not on Sunday). Remember to bring notebook, pens, coloured pencils and a laptop/tablet will be useful to access the VLE whilst here. Preparation for Apparatus Workshop You will need to refer to MCI modules 6 - 10 during the sessions (AEL, Sensorial Education, Literacy, Numeracy, KUW). We advise you to work from a hard copy, in printed form (The Literacy and Numeracy modules should be printed in colour). The complete set of PDF’s of all your Modules is available in the resources folder in Moodle (in the sub-folder Complete Module Texts). If you wish to view and work with the modules electronically you will need to bring your laptop/tablet with you. Electronic devices should be brought to the training centre fully charged. For health and safety reasons, devices cannot be plugged into the mains in the classroom. Prior to the workshop please read all the introduction sections of the curriculum modules if you have not yet reached them in your schedule. This will support you in the oral professional discussion that forms part of your final assessment for the workshop.
Practical Assessment Students on the Early Years Educator course (EYE) and Introduction to Montessori Practice course (IMP) will take part in a practical assessment and professional discussion on the final Saturday of the Workshop. This is a compulsory component of the workshop. Early Years Educator students will be assessed against a range of assessment criteria which will be either met or not met. Any outstanding assessment criteria not met during the practical assessment and professional discussion will need to be reassessed through an additional and final assessment opportunity. This may involve having to attend an additional workshop, dependent on the assessment criteria not met. Introduction to Montessori Practice students cannot be awarded with the MCI certificate unless the practical assessment is successfully completed. Students who do not successfully complete this part of the course are invited to book for another workshop, which will incur an additional charge. The practical assessment and professional discussion will last approximately 1½ hours and you will be allocated a specific time during the workshop. The schedule will be posted prominently on the notice board during the second week of the workshop. If you plan to travel home on the Saturday, please let us know in advance so that arrangements can be made for an early slot.
Refreshments and Facilities Refreshments A complimentary buffet lunch will be provided for workshop students on one day during the workshop. You will be advised of the date at the start of the Workshop. Coffee and Tea will be provided during all breaks. If there are any changes to the timetable then the tutors will advise you. Facilities Hot and cold drinks will be provided, and Wi-Fi is available on site. We have generous outdoor areas where you are welcome to eat lunch: the lawn in the beautiful front garden and also the covered patio in the back garden.

Professional Placement (for Early Years Educator Students) briefing If you have recently started, or are thinking about starting your professional placement, there will be an opportunity to talk to tutors about placement during the lunch hour on one day during the workshop.
