Welcome to all readers!

1. These pages form a set of images and text relating to a science club in any UK primary school with parents very much in mind.  
2.  
3. Readers will, of course, come from other viewpoints and their welcome is equal.
4.  
5. These pages include many aspects of the primary school science curriculum.
6.  
7. The author has found that although it is called a club, the optimum method is to include its activities and approach within the normal teaching programme.
8. 
   
9. Thus, readers within a specific school which intends that the author will come into, will decide the blog title with the author.  
10.  
11.  All communications will be welcomed and we could decide how best I can help.

Welcome

                                                                               The The Torch of Learning supports the aim:

                                                                                                   Great pupil-learning!     

                                                                           It shines on yearning hoping longing for learning.

                            Welcome to all readers!  

1. 'Club' has been chosen to give special meaning to the package. 
2. 
   
3. Parents are just as much members as pupils and the school.  
4. 
   
5. 'Yearning' is explained as this is the impact page for pupils.  Most of this text will not be included.
6. 
   
7. With school consent, parents will be introduced to the blogs.  They include a site for themselves only.

The Broad Approach

1. Hello and welcome.  I'm Alan Harrison and I live in Charlbury, Oxfordshire UK. 
2. 
   
3. My 'CV'  which you'll read later suggests a life-long commitment to community benefit.
4. 
   
5. My resources include a train set the basis of teaching motion, energy etc, a 'normal' website of several years, and blogs.
6. 
   
7. Gadgets such as 5 abound.  Many are new to primary science teaching.
8. 
   
9. This blog shows pages for those at an early stage of involvement.
10. 
    
11. In the hope that we can operate on a weekly basis regarding pupils, this blog has been created.  It shows the approach used - a week or so at at time.
12. 
    
13.  Parents will have access to their own blog here if the school agrees and it is hoped for fruitful involvement.  An equilateral triangle - parents and school at base - pupils at apex. 
14. 
    
15. The process shows the school and parents a simplified lesson plan in advance of a lesson.  Parents are encouraged to discuss it with their child/children.  Pupils are informed that this is about to happen here. First example here.
