Today I got the children to think about scale, proportion and shape of the U.K. They first of all had to draw what they thought England and Wales look like. They then had to improve their map drawing skills once they could see the real map. The improvement was staggering. #Year4
@MissAdamsO@DevonshireInf Those sketch books are coming along brilliantly. They are going to really help the children grow their ideas and knowledge over the year.
Honestly, I cannot remember living through darker times than these. But children's books have helped kids to survive and rebuild the world before, and I think they still can. Escape, connection, understanding, hope - books can give them all of that.

How do you get kids to love reading? Show them that YOU love reading! Make books central to everything you do. Always share books, talk about books, help them find new books to enjoy. And read to them every day - just 10 minutes a day can change their lives forever! #literacy
We at Victoria Academies Trust are deeply saddened by the passing
of Queen Elizabeth II.

Remembering our knowledge of numbers to 20 and then one of our learning capacities - collaboration, amongst many other new routines = a busy and enjoyable 1st day back @DevonshireInf#year1
A busy day back at school! We’ve had lots of fun exploring the FIDES values and revisiting some number skills. What a privilege to teach 30 little children every year. 🌸🍊 @DevonshireInf
What an amazingly energising way to start the new term with ‘The Philosophy Man’. Great hearing colleagues buzzing with ideas throughout the training. We are looking forward to exploring the resources over the coming year as we develop P4C @DevonshireInf#philosophy4children
