There must be very few people who have not had cancer affect them or a member of their family. According to this organisation ‘one in three of us will get cancer.’ It is with these statistics in mind that Maggie has decided to take part in their 8 mile walk in Regents part this Saturday 31st August 2013. She has a just giving page which can be found below should you wish to make a contribution. Photos of the walk will appear after the event, suitably photo-shopped of course!

Well I walked the walk and was soundly bitten by a few mozzies whilst in Regents Park. It was a wonderful day with some lovely people also helping to raise money for such a good cause. At the end, I was joined by my good friend Alison which was rather nice. She took a few end of walk pictures which will appear here soon along with photos of the park.

Feedback

Maggie provided relevant and up to date materials. The course was very relaxed with flexibility built into the day so that we could plan and swap resources."

Ella, New ICT Coordinator

Maggie was an outstanding course leader who was informative and provided realistic content."

I am currently not attached to a classroom but from my previous experience with Investigative Science, it showed me that it is a process which enables all students to see Science as an area of learning, which they are able to participate in, as it involves observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena which they are often naturally inquisitive about. I was challenged to redefine my approach when teaching Science. I gained understanding of how Investigative Science lends itself to all aspects of the Science curriculum and the need to take small steps in order to achieve the desired learning outcomes . I also understood how Investigative Science was able to differentiate and involve all students in the classroom thus enabling all students to become thinkers and involved in the scientific process. I would highly recommend this PD to other schools who are grappling with Investigative Science or would like to introduce this concept of learning to all teachers, whether experienced or not. The presenter was well spoken, engaged her audience with practical activities and listened to all the questions asked, responding with answers which clearly displayed her knowledge and understanding. A very passionate and motivated speaker.

The course was good for providing creative and practical strategies and is very helpful in defining and evaluating the role of an ICT coordinator."
