Today, Y2 considered exploratory talk within science through the medium of the circulatory and skeletal systems. They considered different representations of abstract concepts such as pictorial, physical and digital.
Our PGCE students have been demonstrating their team building skills - reflecting the creative, dynamic and innovative teachers of the future that they are going to be!
Today the Year 3s in ‘ITT3061 Expertise teaching’ were joined by a colleague and STEM Buddies from the UON’s Psychology Department for a workshop on Metacognition and how the brain works.
There was a lot of useful information and ideas shared!

Our Year 2 BA trainees have also been finding out how to integrate environmental education into the geography curriculum. Huge thanks to Luke Ward from
@VicPri2014
for sharing his experience of leading an eco-schools project.
Absolutely this! So proud of our amazing students who have demonstrated resilience, flexibility and a ‘can do’ attitude. Our BA Y3s currently out in our fabulous Partnership schools right now, PGs very soon and all making a difference by working in creative and innovative ways!
A worry from trainee teachers is that their training during COVID may have hindered them. Far from it; the new generation of teachers coming through have had to multi-task and develop pedagogy like never before. They’re the super teachers of the future. Snowflakes they are not!
Another great day in the classrooms on campus
@UniNorthants
with our BA Primary Ed Year 1 students. Practical Science and D&T to underpin knowledge, concept and skill development as the focus again.
