In March, colleagues took part in some fantastic training led by the Education team at the National Gallery. The session involved EYFS staff from Brixton Learning Collaborative, Windmill Cluster and Oval Learning and took place in the gallery spaces with colleagues exploring ways to use pictures to support storytelling and oracy development. Teacher comments:

‘Very inspiring!’
‘I honestly loved this CPD session and am excited to implement some of the tips and tricks for story telling’
‘I found it incredibly useful and inspiring and lovely to have something completely focussed on EYFS’

At the start of the year BLC science leads came together for a day of training funded and led by the Ogden Trust as part of an ongoing partnership with BLC schools to support the teaching and learning of physics. The focus of the day was Electricity and colleagues learnt some useful new strategies and tips to inspire their pupils to take physics further. They were all provided with a kit of resources for some exciting physics experimentation back in the classroom
