I had presented at another event earlier in the week in conjunction with GLOSSI (Gloucestershire School Improvement) team.

Time for me to be trained for a change!
It was rather relaxing being in the audience instead of presenting for once, until you are invited to contribute, of course! Today saw me attend David Weatherly and Sheena Wright’s virtual training day, entitled ‘EYFS – Year 1 Continuity of Learning in Geography and History: EYFS into Year 1‘.

‘Ensuring successful subject leadership in geography and history (EYFS to Year 6)’, David Weatherly Education
Yet again, another engaging, inspiring and informative CPD event delivered by David Weatherly, with input from Sheena Wright too, yesterday.

Today’s training was a repeat of one that I attended earlier …
