here

orim in action you can help parents and carers by:

sharing ideas for opportunities to respond sensitively and predictably to their baby/child as they experience and interact with the world around them.

identifying ways in which they can recognise and value their baby’s/child’s efforts to explore their world.

encouraging them to interact with their baby/child in loving and supportive ways and talking with them about their experiences.

helping them to model interest and curiosity about the world as well as sensitive and appropriate responses to those around them.

remember to gather feedback from previous session (if applicable) and record on review and reflection form

consider: - how did it go? - what did they try? - what did they notice? - what difference did it make?

talk time (use an appropriate facilitation method for your audience) message

start with a message – for example: ‘experiences in the first days, months and years can have a strong impact on the

development of a baby’s brain’ Use this message and activity to explore how parents/carers are helping to build their baby’s brain though everyday experiences. You will need some wool or string for the activity in this talk time. You could use just one ball of wool or string, but using several of different colours can demonstrate how lots of things can be going on in the brain at the same time. It will also be dependent on the number of families in your group. Consider involving older children too.

Ask parents/carers to sit in a circle and think about all the experiences and everyday activities that their baby/child encounters on an everyday basis. This could include nappy changing, going to the park, reading a book, singing a song or rhyme, getting dressed, putting shoes on, eating breakfast, holding a spoon, throwing a ball, feeling the texture of playdough etc.

Explain that the circle is a brain and each of them has become a brain cell (neuron) within that brain. Give several adults a ball of wool and tell them that these are going to be used to create the connections (neural pathways) in the brain. Ask them to hold on to the end of the wool and then throw the ball to another person in the circle while saying out loud the activity or

what is the learning together programme?

Exploring each strand• find the strand key ideas and read together• look at the topics within the strand and use the strand map to

see which sub-strands they are in• look at the topics. Read topic aim(s), the topic key ideas and

ORIM in action. Look at the 3 different ways to share these key ideas through talk time (question, message, activity)

• look at songs and rhymes and notice how these support the topic key ideas

• look at suggestions for stories to share• look at ideas for things to try at home – consolidate and extend

the learning

ORIM: our learning experience

Why use ORIM? A mechanism to help parents and carers to develop and grow

What is ORIM? It is a framework to use to help parents and carers support their children’s learning:1. For specific learning outcomes, eg. early writing2. For everyday learning opportunities, eg. during nappy

changing

How ORIM is used? It is the way in which we as practitioners help parents and carers to develop as adult learners
