Books And Stories In Children's Science (BASICS) - Stranmillis University College Belfast

This cluster project aims to support and develop science across the potentially challenging transition from Foundation stage into Key Stage 1 in a group of five local primary schools. School development plans will be developed in the key areas of investigative/enquiry-based science and the use of books and stories to develop learning and teaching. The project continues and develops the partnership approach to teachers' continuing professional development adopted in the AstraZeneca funded SSIPS (Science Students in Primary Science) Project (2002-2003) by including literacy.
