Picture News events: Using the news to inspire young minds!

We’re getting ready to launch into the world of CPD and share our love of teaching the news with schools around the UK! We’ve spent a long time working with existing Picture News schools, asking their thoughts and feedback for what what our training should feature and what would be the most effective use of their time.  Knowing that teachers are incredibly busy people, we wanted to make our sessions short, concise and provide instant and inspirational ideas that could be used straight away.

Our sessions will:

• Introduce simple but powerful questioning strategies to encourage deep thinking;
• Link British values into your assemblies and SMSC work each week;
• Bring your assemblies to life and help make them much easier!
• Learn how the power of images can engage and inspire children;
• Really make a difference to children’s attitudes of their world!

Our first session will take place in Pontefract, at North Featherstone Junior and Infants School, Tuesday 28th March 1-3pm. Further information can be found here. 

At each session, attendees will receive a sample tube with the current week’s poster and a wide range of simple, practical tips to take back to school.

We are looking for a limited number of schools to host future sessions – in return, all of your staff will receive the training free of charge! For more details please email: help@picture-news.co.uk
