I used to get to tag along with my brother to scout things in the 80s before they let girls in (they did cool things like abseiling) as my Dad was a scout leader. Shh!

It's nearly that time of year again!
I'll be spending a chunk of December developing demos, wrangling resources, and painting props backstage at the @rigb.org Christmas Lectures! DYK you can attend a venue to watch a live screening as we record the lectures on 11th, 13th and 16th December?

I do recall one visit to my French exchange family mid GCSEs; we visited a roman museum and I was translating the engravings from Latin to French - so grateful for my grounding in foreign languages!

As a Teacher Developer, we were really keen that there is sufficient time, funding, support and equal access to impactful professional development opportunities for these proposed curriculum changes.
Read all the responses from primary, secondary and more:

Browsing in an antique bookshop earlier and I came across these beauties from the 1960s, using the #ScienceCapital teaching approach of personalising, localising and starting with the child! Science for rural schools!!
