Coming soon: a tutorial on how to use watercolour pencils with different techniques and they effects they create. Great for using in the classroom to model at the start of a unit.

@MrsGormanEYFS @MrWithersAHT @EYTagteam Hang things down as like a lazy Susan shelf situation? Maybe objects that could create musical instruments, like wind chimes? Or organisation for outdoor learning resources?

@MrsColchester @deputygrocott (2/2) an art installation where members of the pupil could meet out students and share their own stories. We invited the local paper as well. It was great!

@MrsColchester @deputygrocott We did a whole school Migration Journey project, inviting pupils, parents and staff to share their family's journey to our town (Bolton).

@MrWithersAHT We did but in a school of challenging behaviour it ended up causing more problems for the children who didn't achieve it. It was linked to Reading, marble jars and behaviour charts. Nightmare on a Friday.

@jonthelegend @MrWithersAHT Letter from the Light House by Emma Carroll is a great one with intrigue about a code to break.
When Hitler stole pink rabbit is also good.
Mr Tom is amazing but I had a parent complain.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is incrediblly moving but check high school isn't doing it.

I've really enjoyed teaching the Benin Empire for the first time this year and the children have loved it as well. Even more, I've loved the double page spreads that have been produced 📝📚 #ks2history #edutwitter #year5 #doublepagespread

@brassoteach Never tell anyone your favourite beach, always give them above your top 5. For example, Polzeath in Cornwall is lovely.

@MrWithersAHT History - Benin. Never taught it before but it's going down a treat!

@MrWithersAHT Classrooms for prepping ingredients or hall with dining tables out. Then staffroom and/or after school club kitchen for cooking and baking. It depends on group sizes and available adults.

@MrWithersAHT Who's cleaning this up afterwards? That's what I want to know.

@deputygrocott There are tonnes of editable interactive spinners that come with some fab sound effects if you can't find one at a good price.

@MrWithersAHT I've been sharing Art and DT schemes of work and topic covers on my new blog. It's early days yet and mainly UKS2 based.

Happy Friday everyone!
