  3. How has the programme influenced practical work in science? • Allowed children to pose their own question to investigate • Getting the fun out of science • Looking for different ways of recording • The audit tool helps teachers to spot gaps

  4. Feedback from a trainer “I have found that it has made me simply take a step back and look carefully at my lessons. What is the purpose of the activity I have given the children to do? My activities now have a sharper focus on learning outcomes.” Karen Hodgetts, primary teacher and trainer

  5. Feedback from a Headteacher “The level of discussion was good and working cross-phase was very beneficial. The level of questioning by Janet was purposeful, non-threatening, but definitely challenging colleagues to think about their practice. ” Headteacher, Sedbergh Primary School
