Gloucestershire Primary Science Conference RN124 / A01
Summary
Building strong foundations in primary science - physics and KS2-3 transition focus
Physics is consistently highlighted as an area for professional development and this conference aims to provide invaluable science CPD for primary teachers with emphasis on physics and primary to secondary transition.
This is a perfect opportunity to tackle some tricky topics in primary science and for secondary colleagues to learn about physics in the primary classroom. Our conferences always provide outstanding learning opportunities linked to topical developments in science teaching alongside time to talk and share ideas with other practitioners.
This conference will provide hands-on practical physics workshops, led by colleagues from the Ogden Trust, full of ideas to take back to your classroom which incorporate maths and English. This will increase your confidence in teaching and encourage creativity in your classroom. Workshops include:
Physics focus – light and sound – This interactive workshop will cover the key concepts of light and sound required by the Key Stage 2 curriculum
Creative Cosmos – with lots of emphasis on maths and English skills, this session show’s how to use space as a context within the broader curriculum
In addition, Carol Sampey of the PSTT will explore and exemplify what makes ‘good transition’ in primary to secondary science which covers teacher assessment in Primary science, KS2 curriculum and implications for KS3 teaching.
This conference will also provide an opportunity to network with other teachers from both primary and secondary schools locally
