The event format

Each school was allocated 25 minutes in total to present. This time was split between a 5 minute presentation and by a 20 minute workshop session. Teams presented on their chosen topic, which related to recent learning that had taken place in their class or school. The workshop sessions provided every individual group a chance to experience an activity linked to their presentation. The following schools and volunteers took part in the event:

What the attendees thought of the event:

 

"Fantastic day, children have learned so much about a wide range of topics. Appeals to all levels of interest and abilities. Well done all!" Belinda Cable, Farnborough Primary School.

"What a great day! So many skills developed for the children - presentation, discussion, technology, social interaction. I watch my children and they are more confident, engaging in a way I've never seen. Perfect for secondary transition and stepping out of their comfort zone! As a HT I've met inspiring presenters, have made a great school connection and already have plans to continue this joint learning where children will lead learning for others at each school and can show our presentations live and in action. Inspired is how we end the day!Huge thanks to DWJS, Night Zookeeper and everyone else" Becky Sharp, Head Teacher, Oaklands Primary School.
