On a snowy morning in North Norfolk we had an
excellent session working with a large group of enthusiastic primary school
teachers and teaching assistants. Once we had the technology working everything
went well! The focus of the training was looking at the way in which
Philosophy4Children can be utilised to improve children’s writing. It was
excellent to revisit this work, as it formed part of the action research that
Barbara and I had undertaken for the Thinking Schools, Thinking Children
project initiated by Norfolk Local Education Authority. The staff were not
short of ideas which ranged from diary writing to hot seating and play scripts.
