This new wheel is
one of two new guides
covering Schemas.
This one explains schemas in our 'Understanding
Schemas' wheel.
Following
many requests for a schemas resource, we have now developed these two new wheels. They have been written by Schemas specialist Stella Nalini and early years
outdoor play specialist and activity trainer Gail Ryder Richardson.
The
first of these two early years wheels is 'A Guide to Understanding
Schemas' and starts off by explaining what they are and why
schemas are so important. The wheel has eight other sections on
each side covering the following areas; Trajectory, Transporting,
Connecting, On top, Scattering, Rotation, Enclosing and
Enveloping. Under these headings, one side of the wheel describes
how a child might be recognised as having a pre-dominant position
towards some of these areas more than others, whilst the other
side focuses on the potential learning for each area.
The
wheels
can be bought individually from stock for £6 each, or you
can get both as a set
for only £11.50 including free P&P.
For details of the Supporting Schemas wheel and to purchase this
individually, please click here.
Like
all of our other Development Wheels, each of these wheels can
also be
'customised' by commissioning your own copies with your logo and
contact details on the back of the wheel. Click
here for details.
Understanding Schemas
Organisations/authorities
can buy the wheels in bulk or they can be purchased individually. There are
significant savings for bulk purchases and these can be 'customised' with your
logo and other details (see blue column below). The
price for a single copy is £6.50 including free post and packing (P&P). Wheels
can be bought online for this price now using the right hand column below.
'CUSTOMISED'
PRODUCTION
BUY NOW
Organisations/authorities
can buy single or small quantities online (using the links to the right), but
for those who would like to commission larger quantities, you can have your copies
'customised' with your own logo and contact details on (minimum quantity
now only 100 copies)
These
'customised' wheels will 'brand'
the publication for use in your own community (for
instance you may wish to have copies in each of your settings, in children's
centres or to give to your registered childminders).
The
'customised' option offers authorities/organisations the chance to save on the costs associated with the
development and production of a new item like this, because all of the set up
work has been done in terms of copywriting and editing, design, artwork,
proofing and even the cutter guides to produce the wheel and rivet it together.
For
organisations/authorities wishing to commission larger bulk 'customised'
copies (1000+), discounts
apply and your wheels will still cost much less than the
recommended retail price (RRP) of
£8. Your wheels will be 'customised' by tailoring the back of the wheels
with your own logo, contact details and colour scheme as per the samples shown
here for Lancashire and Rutland Councils.
To find out more and get a full price
list please contact us. This is a great chance to get hold of these wheels with your
own details on at a very good price.

Delivery/schedule notice: We will
always try to meet your needs in every way we can, but'customised
wheels' can take at least four working weeks to produce following the approval
of your artwork. This is due to the complex manufacturing process, part of which
is done manually to construct the wheels. In busy periods (such as Feb - April
during the government financial year end) and for large quantities, production
can take longer. Please therefore build in plenty of time in your schedule of
needs to ensure we can meet your timescales. Sometimes
we can get things done a bit quicker and we will always try, but the product is
of a complex construction.
