Free CPD opportunity for teachers
Monday 23rd September 2024
9.30 a.m to 3.30 p.m
Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse

Gressenhall, Dereham, NR20 4DR

Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, Norfolk Museum Service & Historic England are delighted to invite teachers and trainee teachers from your school to a free CPD session to explore how heritage settings can inspire EYFS and sensory learning

Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse is happy to welcome you and there will be an opportunity to explore and experience some of the fantastic workshops they can offer your younger or sensory students. There will also be an opportunity to share ideas about developing local heritage in the curriculum for these students and ideas for building surprise and wonder into your classroom and using role play and story telling to bring the curriculum alive.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

There will be practical, hands-on sessions looking at how to engage Early years and reception children with their local heritage and help them take the first steps in building their understanding of the past, chronology and a sense of place. A great opportunity to share ideas and good practice. You will find out how to gain a Heritage Schools Award and discover more free resources available online from Historic England and other Heritage organisations.

Historic England’s Heritage Schools programme offers support to all state schools and academies and can help you replicate all of this for the area around your school.
