Haven't booked for book week yet?
4 July 2018
SFS has a number of great incursions for book week. Canny teachers booked last year if they wanted a show in the actual book week, but you might be lucky! Best idea is to give us a range of dates and if you know some days are better, tell which they are, so when we contact you, we can suggest dates/days that will suit.
Here are some of our shows targetting book week or reading variously for students from K-Yr 6.

An interdisciplinary approach in research gets the best results.
3 July 2018
This will not be news to teachers!
Globally the emphasis on STEMM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine ) for research and innovation is fine, but without the humanities, arts, social sciences (HASS), how will these innovations work for people? How will they be translated and adopted?
Creative thinking is a key. Without equal funding and interdisciplinary funding so much potential is lost.
