Validation
Training
18th October Saint Peter’s
Primary School
Firstly, a big thank you to Saint Peter’s CE Primary School
in Wem for hosting the event and especially to Gill Hiley for all her hard work
in getting everything ready and being such a welcoming host.
We were very lucky to be the first group to use the new
facilities in the Learning Suite at Saint Peter’s that will open officially
later this term. Lynne Upton from National CU headed the day providing
background detail on the CU mission and practical sessions on the E-passport
and how to validate learning provision within the National CU framework. There
were ample networking opportunities across Children’s Universities, Schools,
providers and destinations.
Delegates came from across the county and further afield and
all those who participated are now approved CU validators and will receive
their certificate shortly.
All the delegates found the day worthwhile and commented on the
state of the art facilities, the welcoming staff and the wonderful catering
arrangements.
Shropshire CU would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to
all at Saint Peter’s.
Anybody wishing to hire the Learning Suite should contact

University Research: Games in Education
"Exploring the Holistic Learning Possibilities of
Traditional Board Games, and Recognising their Potential in Supporting Long
Term Outcomes."
What It's All About...
After years of using traditional style board and card games
and activities to enhance engagement and learning on a variety of levels, we
wanted to instigate some independent research into why what we do has such a
positive effect.
Huddersfield University were approached with the idea, and,
as part of their ongoing research programme, were very eager to explore this
approach to teaching and learning.
This initial investigation focuses on the immediate and long
term reactions of 2 different example schools, primary and secondary, on
introducing this form of activity into lessons and play. It also contains
background reference to help contextualise the researcher’s observations with
previous recognised work on childhood learning and the changing face of
education.
The result - "Exploring
the Holistic Learning Possibilities of Traditional Board Games, and recognising their
Potential in Supporting Long Term Outcomes." - is now available to all interested parties!
