Thinking and Talking Primary Science- Nottingham

Providing children with reasons to talk and think scientifically can ensure children achieve deeper knowledge and understanding in science.

Nicola Beverley “I’m an experienced primary consultant with a passion for science, working with numerous primary teachers, subject leaders and schools in diverse ways; helping to firm up science ‘wobbly bits’, putting the ‘wow’ back into dreary science lessons, creating effective (and practical) ways to assess children’s learning and empowering subject leaders, so that they truly lead rather than just manage.

During this two-day course teachers and subject leaders will experience a variety of teaching and learning strategies that work brilliantly in science, allowing children to learn, practise and utilise quality vocabulary as they think then talk scientifically.

The importance of progression, building from EYFS, through KS1, KS2 and beyond, will be considered and strategies shared that promote quality teacher questioning to explore and extend talking, thinking and learning at every stage.

Free and fabulous resources and web-based offers will be suggested, requiring classroom-based science to be applied and extended into real world contexts, challenging children to use their knowledge and understanding more creatively, as they solve problems, explore ideas and answer questions.
