Linking science, mathematics and literacy: training for primary schools

The Community Academies Trust Teaching School is hosting back to back events for Keele University for primary schools on Tuesday 13th February. Delegates may select either one half-day course to book on to, or book on to both:

'Linking core subjects; science and mathematics'

Tuesday 13th February, 9.15am-12.30pm at The Polesworth School, Dordon Road, Dordon, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B78 1QT.

The course: Identify opportunities to maximise your pupils' development in numeracy skills. Science attainment in your school will be improved by planning lessons in which children effectively handle data.

Outcomes: You will be able to plan science activities that develop mathematical skills and use these activities to effectively assess those skills. You'll also be able to identify the progression of mathematical and science skills.

'Making powerful connections between primary literacy and science'

Tuesday 13th February, 1.30-4.00pm at The Polesworth School, Dordon Road, Dordon, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B78 1QT.

The course: Explore the curriculum links between science and literacy and consider a range of strategies designed to improve children's ability to use scientific language.

Outcomes: You will gain an awareness of the nature and breadth of opportunities for linking science and literacy and be able to develop strategies for doing this. This will help to raise attainment in science and will help you to identify progression in literacy.
