The session was extremely well-organised and presented. Due to it being very hands-on it was very enjoyable and engaging. The PD also explained a range of question techniques that I believe will assist in the level of comprehension of my students.

Brilliant! Our facilitator was fantastic and we all had a great time. Can’t wait to embed what we've learnt into our setting with our children and fellow staff!

It was a very valuable and beneficial PD for me to share my current knowledge about science exploration with like-minded educators while learning how to extend children’s STEM learning with water. I highly recommend this course to any early childhood educators!!!
