I found @klariart on a blogpost about “science meets art.” Her work is super because it’s so brightly coloured and accessible for the children to talk about. Also hits that #crosscurricular teaching everyone keeps banging on about.

TA: Steven has 4 apples, and gives...
Child: Who’s Steven?
TA: I don’t know. So he has 4 apples...
Child: Does he like apples?
TA: Yes. So he gives 3 apples to Jane.
Child: Does Jane like apples?
TA: Yes, she does. So how many apples does Steven have left?
Child: I like apples.

~23,000 state schools across England.

Ofsted's #curriculum research consists of:

1) x41 Early Years settings for #BoldBeginnings

2) x23 #KnowledgeRich secondary schools

3) x33 primary schools, x29 secondaries; x2 special schools

We visited #Croydon Airport Museum last weekend and it was fascinating! The UK’s first international airport, apparently. 🚅😊 Also a small yet lovely display about Amy Johnson — the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia. #museums

Unfortunately this week we see how education in England has been reduced to decontextualised datasets. Don’t blame the teachers, they do their best within a hideous system of hyper-accountability #school

[Miss H @missH__primary]

Some excellent & interesting points from @EmmaHardyMP. However, it’s a real shame to see so many empty benches...
