Following successful funding applications to the Anguish's Educational Foundation and the Norwich Freemen's Charity, the SAW Trust is launching an exciting new project that seeks to boost curiosity in Primary schools through science!
The Science, Art and Writing (SAW) Trust is a cross-disciplinary engagement initiative that explores scientific themes through practical science activities underpinned by visually striking images.
The SAW Trust's 'Curiosity Project' is looking for three primary schools who are keen to work with them to develop a framework that enables science to be explored across the curriculum. The Curiosity Project is designed to boost opportunities for child-led questioning to shape learning, which requires students to work scientifically and develop resourcefulness, problem solving skills and nurture their intellectual curiosity.
What's included for participating schools?
- Free Science Art and Writing (SAW) workshops in each school
- Fully-funded visits (incl. travel) to science-related organisations and events
- Materials budget for schools to hire and purchase science equipment
- Free CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training for teachers & TA's
- Scientists in residence days
- In-school support from the SAW team to create a child-led science festival.
Full details about eligibility, commitments and how to apply can be found on the SAW Trust website.
