Banbury Primary Science Network meeting

Banbury Primary science network - Oracy in Primary Science

During this session we will discuss ideas, resources and practical strategies for:

• supporting children in understanding and using scientific vocabulary
• creating a classroom environment where talk enhances scientific understanding and engagement for all children
• how to use oracy to capitalise on a 'hands on, minds on' approach to practical work
• exploring what progression in science oracy could look like (and take away an editable starting point for science oracy progression)

This event is being facilitated by Dr Rebecca Ellis, Regional mentor, Primary Science Teaching Trust.

The Spires Science Curriculum Hub (SSCH) for Oxfordshire, West and Central Berkshire is led by Claire Hamnett and based at Oxford Spires Academy. The hub combines local expertise in teaching and learning in science, facilitating CPD and providing school-to-school support. SSCH offers high quality science CPD through a range of full day, afternoon and twilight sessions, either online or face to face as needed. We also work with schools on an individual basis to provide bespoke support and work closely with local leading science organisations such as RAL, STFC, Science Oxford, OUMNH and many more.

We provide a wide range of CPD for primary and secondary schools and FE institutions in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and beyond, including conferences, science lead network days, ECT training, technician training, primary science subject support and much more.
