For a 'taste' of Engagement Week activities, take a look at one of our events from our 2010 programme

Longhill Primary School students, Abbie Dymock, Cortney Skinner and Britney Windle took part in the Faculty Week celebrations of 2010 with support from media consultant Mike Russell and Deputy Head Mark Batty. The girls filmed one of the interactive workshop sessions.

The session was for colleagues working in early year’s settings and looked at how to develop and stimulate children’s listening, reading and writing skills by creating story sacks.

Take a look at the short film that the Longhill pupils produced including an interview with the Dean of the Faculty of Education and the Vice-Chancellor of the University.
