So proud of my little ones’ art work. These are their own forests - each one was designed to match the sound wave recording of them saying their name. 💙🌲 #primaryrocks #ukedchat #edchat #edtech #AppleEdu

Morning all! I’m looking for examples of feedback/marking policies - if anyone could share theirs with me, I would be very appreciative! 🙏

A good knowledge of times tables is so important for accessing the majority of the maths curriculum fluently and confidently. Here’s a poster showing some uses!

What else would you add from the primary curriculum?

What about the secondary curriculum?

So proud of my little EYFS artists today. They remembered the skills of colour mixing from our last session and created orange, purples and greens through colour mixing. Amazing observational drawings too. And this was the first time they have used watercolours. Proud teacher ❤️

@SlatteryMr Happy birthday!! Hope you’re celebrating 🥳 xx

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

A thought for the holidays. If you want your kids to get ahead - let them READ FOR PLEASURE! Let them discover the joy of reading for the sheer fun of it, with no strings attached, choosing for themselves, losing themselves in imagination. Everything else will follow! #literacy

[Sam Daunt @samdaunt]

My favourite part… fresh planning!

Can you guess the theme? 🤓💛

Thinking a lot about our reading spine and my own reading… if you had to pick ONE book all children should read during their time in primary, what would you choose? ✨
