Description
The Curriculum and Assessment Review places emphasis on fieldwork in geography and learning about events through local history. This does not need to mean expensive trips to specific sites. There is a great deal to be learned on your own doorstep. Using Kennington as an example, this in person session will provide primary history and geography teachers with a toolkit of knowledge, resources and practical activities that will help you to build effective local history and geography fieldwork enquiries for your children. You will be getting out and about within a short distance of the venue with your course leaders for parts of the session, so please wear comfortable shoes and an umbrella in case of bad weather.
Price: £200 HA/GA member, £250 non-member lunch included (all prices are inclusive of VAT and booking fees).
