What do we do in World Studies on the Thursday before a break? We write five-paragraph essays from memory on China’s One-Child Policy—Rosenshine P8: a challenging task, scaffolded with sentence starters, outline, and offloading. This is where their long-term memory can shine. 👇

It’s that time of year again…

@MrJFinch @SoLInTheWild Agreed! I tried it this week too and year 9 loved it. Thank you @SoLInTheWild 👏

More learning can be fun!!! My students favorite retrieval strategy is Cops and Robbers (Credit to @KateJones_teach). Brain dump everything you know about a concept (👮‍♂️). Go steal new information you didn’t recall from peers (Robbers). I recommend enhancing with theme music. 😉

If you need a Christmas resource for a lesson over the coming weeks, these may be handy. Lots of festive puzzles and some quizzes too. None are mine but gathered over the years. Hope you find them useful 🎅🎄

***1% BETTER***

Improving attendance is a key focus for all schools right now.

For students in the 90–95% attendance range, we’ve launched our “1% Better” strategy. Each identified student receives a card and is paired with a key adult in the school.

Students get their card signed for every consecutive day they attend, and after 12 days they earn a prize 😊

Does anyone have any recommendations for a medical-based school trip, preferably tailored to the Edexcel GCSE curriculum? #edexcel #edutwitter

🧪🎃 Had so many requests for my Practical Potions Halloween lesson last year (inspired by the brilliant @RoySocChem) that I’ve popped it on the blog for everyone to download & adapt.

Do you run Halloween practicals at your school too? 👻

It is that time of year again! Teaching the benefits of amniotic fluid using an egg and a lunch box. First fill it with water and shake. The egg won’t crack showing protection & shock absorber. Then pour out the water and show the difference without the amniotic fluid #jcscience

Macrophages are so impressive.

I wrote this blog to share quick tips that reduce cognitive load and save time for new teachers.
9 things I wish I’d known as an ECT and hopefully there’s something useful here for middle & senior leaders too.

Please give it a like, RT & share 👇

Speed calculations Monday after mid term are not as bad when there’s a practical element thrown in too #jcscience

Students gains so much from practical work, it’s such an important part of our curriculum!👩🏼‍🔬
