Prior to this morning’s virtual session, there had been a brief conversation and number of e-mails sent between myself, the Headteacher and History Subject Leaders to share documentation and establish ‘where they were at’. This …

Another round of bespoke CPD!
I really do enjoy working directly with schools, whether virtually or in situ, to review and develop their whole school curriculum offering for geography. Today, I met via Zoom with the Geography Subject Leader at Prince Avenue Academy and Nursery in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex (https://www.princeavenue.co.uk/) to look at ways to integrate effective fieldwork from EYFS to the end of Key Stage …
Another bespoke CPD session before the academic year is out!
It was rather tight, but we managed it! Last week, a bespoke CPD session was requested by the Geography Subject Leader at Milton Road Primary School in Cambridge (https://www.miltonroadschool.org.uk/) and, with only a few free dates left in my diary before schools break up for the summer, we were very fortunate to be able to earmark a mutually convenient time. …
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‘. After a warm welcome and introductions, David began by setting the …

A little ‘stretch and challenge’ for the New Year!
Virtual Primary Humanities Network meeting (Term 3)
Starting the New Year as we mean to go on! Despite still being virtual in nature, I thought I would still try and provide a little ‘stretch and challenge’ during the third Primary Humanities Network meeting of this academic year. After reviewing the suggestions given towards the end of our last meeting and bearing in mind the themes hitting the …
Virtual Primary Humanities Network (PHN) meeting: The first one for this academic year!
Still virtually, but at least it meant many of us were able to get together again. If things remain positive regarding the current pandemic, then I am hoping to conduct our next meeting face-to-face, as well as offer a repeat virtually via Zoom for those who are unable to make it in real time or are located further afield. The …
