course attendee quote What people say about the Humanities AoLE in PS1 course...

"Good quality resource pack. Well prepared presentation. Relevance to classroom setting. Opportunity to share ideas with other practitioners." "Putting What Matters statements into child speak was really useful and will reassure staff in PS1" "It was really useful to focus on the vocabulary that needs to be developed by pupils at PS1 rather than content to be covered. Looking at the topics of Toys and Places / playgrounds was good to put the skills into context." Course attendees 05/10/21
