Teachers’ comments Staff CPD ‘I have gained a lot of knowledge from this session and I will definitely use the activities learnt today in practice. I loved experiencing the activities.’ Rachel Abbott, Castleview Primary ‘My knowledge was basic and this has certainly led to me being more informed and confident when delivering space based lessons. Pupil feedback and engagement has been great; some hard to reach pupils have really engaged with the subject.’ Pauline Harrison, Woodside Primary Staff CPD

Teachers’ comments Staff CPD ‘Lots of new information for me. Thank you. Good ideas for investigations which I can now adapt and use in class. Very motivating for staff on a topic not usually covered by many of us’. Jan Novacki, Y2 teacher, Prospect Vale Primary ‘ I learnt a lot that I did not already know. I really enjoyed this session. Thank you. Lots of new ideas for classroom practice, especially links to practical science on websites for resources. We will follow up in our professional development meetings any work that has been generated by this session.’ Ian Worthington, Head Teacher, Castleview Primary Staff CPD
