Sandie Hawkey
Early Years Team Leader : email
Sandie entered education in 1992 as a Special Needs Assistant, working with children from Reception through to Year 6. In 1998 she moved to Camborne Nursery School as the school's Special Needs Assistant. A dynamic leadership by the school's head, Jean Webb, facilitated creative and visionary ideas. Realising the importance of the outdoor environment as a rich resource for children's learning, Sandie brought about the launch of 'Kernow Woodland Learning'
She is now on a full time secondment to the CPR Success Zone and regularly takes Foundation Stage children to local woodlands to explore, challenge, gain confidence and think creatively when covering all areas of the Foundation Stage curriculum. Most of all, the children have fun! More recently Sandie adapted the Kernow Woodland Learning philosophy and techniques to apply them in a sand dune setting in her Dynamite Dunes project
As a member of the CPR Team, Sandie has worked with a wider age range from Years 1 to 13 on a variety of collaborative cross-curricular challenges including Brain Wave II, III and Space Academy II.
