A group of Hampshire schools, led by @_UoW Academy Trust, joined forces with @_UoW in a Creative Collaboration that has been funded by the @ace_national for 3 years. Read the interim report (including input from very own Marnie Seymour) here: https://t.co/ZU8qXYnrlq

My session at the @TPEAssociation conference today was about how a rich, play based curriculum in the EYFS underpins the computing curriculum.

Is there anyone @BBCNews with a GCSE pass grade in Maths? Or were they all on holiday today? This went out at 6pm and again at 10pm. What errors can you spot?

[Dr Laura Clarke @lauram4maths]

@LucyHistory @Mr_S_Tiffany @somers_kerry I love that you're drawing on expert school colleagues to support our students' history teaching.

[Lucy Barratt @LucyHistory]

Incorporated @Mr_S_Tiffany timelines into the teaching session around chronology with the use of a map. Thank you @somers_kerry for your input today.

@mogster @grime_dr Delighted to have been able to meet you today - your words have changed people

[Dr Catrina Kirkland @CatrinaKirkland]

Another fab week with the @UOW_IoE PGCE Humanities students. We’ve looked at knowledge organisers, assessment & differentiation. And WE WENT TO A CASTLE! There’s promise of carrot cake as a ‘healthy’ treat for their final week before reading week and then school experience.

@MrCornishTweets @Mr_AlmondED Reading fluency is important. The phrasing of problems can also be odd, especially when trying to vary the position of the unknown. Gerofsky calls it a distinct literary genre, and many are unfamiliar with its structure

[Dr Laura Clarke @lauram4maths]

@MrCornishTweets @Mr_AlmondED My doctorate focused solving word problems. Within my research sample reading the problem aloud, being able to answer ‘what do you know?’ and drawing bar models were both highly effective.

@emmccatt @warwickmansell A robust counter argument to ‘EEF had incomplete data, so their findings are inconclusive’ surely isn’t ‘we know it works’

@drajrichardson @HeidiSnook2 @CatrinaKirkland @DrRhiannonLove @LucyHistory Well, that’s a flavour combination #justbecauseyoucandoesn’tmeanyououghtto

@CatrinaKirkland @DrRhiannonLove @LucyHistory @HeidiSnook2 I’m delighted to see inclusivity extends to membership as well as flavour combinations

[Dr Laura Clarke @lauram4maths]

@CatrinaKirkland @LucyHistory @DrRhiannonLove @HeidiSnook2 But at least you kept a somewhat open mind, for a little while at least - is this the new challenge? Bring in the strangest flavour biscuits?

[Alasdair Richardson @drajrichardson]

Thanks @EmmaBourner @WinCathedral for hosting our @UOW_IoE #PGCE #Humanities #RE trainees this morning, where we thought about Christian places of worship as educational spaces. We saw the 'Light of Hope' installation, visited the crypt & Jane Austen's grave...
