Upper primary and S1/2 teachers 🙋♂️ If you haven’t yet plunged into the world of PLAY, let me shine a tiny light on the power of this pedagogy and try to convince you to give it a go… This morning, I setup a number of ‘provocations’ for my class today. Here’s what happened 1/8
Public speaking definitely gets my nerves going (a lot!), but was great to share some of the work we’ve been doing around #playbasedlearning and hopefully spark some interest for how it can be use beyond early years education #teachmeet
Great lesson today learning how to make a fruit salad! Love that we are learning how to make balanced snacks and about where our food comes from #edchatuk #projectbasedlearning #nutritioneducation #year1
What a fab performance by #year1 @_Primary21 @school21_uk showing the intensity of the Great Fire of London through dance @TeachTMcCartney
We’ve been learning all about London in 1666 & building model tudor houses. Today we learnt about the huge fire that ravaged London in 1666 so, naturally, we set fire to our houses & recreated it!Great learning experience which will hopefully springboard into some great writing!
A really great provision this week in yr1 with BeeBots, a *new* bus role play area and sensory tray inspired by ‘Snail in the Whale’ - so many opps for cross-curricula learning & fostering soft-skill learning in a supportive environment #year1 #playbasedlearning #edchatuk
Lots of great play and learning happening this week using our “Stick Man”-inspired sensory tray…. Also lots of mess, but I’m not sure that one can happen without the other in year 1! #sensoryplay #continuousprovision #year1 #edchatuk #playbased
The difference a couple of weeks can make! Check out the growth in this student’s writing! We’ve started our unit on Stratford High Street, using @Alice_Melvin’s High Street book to help inspire our writing #edchatuk #year1 #writingcommmunity
We couldn’t visit the library so had a #BookTasting instead! A lively morning with lots of great discussions, storytelling and, ofcourse, pretending to drink from flute glasses #ks1 #edchatuk #literacy
“#play is one of the most most understood concepts in today’s education, it is also one of the most underrated. And yet it is the most vital component for development - the gift of play is the greatest thing we can possibly gift a child” @GregBottrill #edchatuk #ks1 #year1
“when we work with young people we are dealing with people not numbers, development not progress and with that should be joy, not mechanical learning by rote” very keen to get stuck into this book! @GregBottrill #continuousprovision #playbasedlearning #year1
Amongst all the planning and making of lessons and resources that is happening in preparation for schools re-opening next week, we can't forget to give time + space to re-building and strengthening our class culture + environment. @Namastececi @toddle_edu #edchatuk
Great session from @joboaler and @toddle_edu around importance of growth mindset in maths. I love the 'learning pit'/'steps of struggle' visuals to empower and celebrate student autonomy and mindset in the classroom tinyurl.com/29zezbz8
Check out the amazing work we have done in #primary @school21_uk on our virtual exhibition here: sites.google.com/school21.org.u… So very proud of all the students and teachers in Primary!
Very proud of our budding writers in year 1! The best part? When they all cheer as you tell them it’s “big write day” #proudteacher #edchatuk #EnglishTeacher #ks1
Last but certainly not least - Mr. Modini's video about Summarising Sam. @StephenModini deserves huge recognition for redesigning our reading posters this year. What a reading hero! @school21_uk #Reading #primaryed drive.google.com/file/d/1Z7piaP…
a great session from @toddle_edu about nuances of teacher language and fostering student engagement. imposing vs. empowering language on students @RealChirpy tinyurl.com/y54f87yw #edchatuk #continuouslearning #studentengagement
A great introduction to play-based learning in year 1! Starting my own learning journey this year, exploring #continuousprovision in year 1 (whilst still being #covidsafe !) #UKEdChat @ABCDoes
Am very interested in #projectzero online course starting at end of feb - anyone else out there interested in joining up to make a team of three or four? #edchateu #Visiblelearning #culturesofthinking @ProjectZeroHGSE

@EdmundCoogan @SteveModini Nothing wrong with children being childish! I’d like to see a few more adults enjoying childish play…
@SteveModini You were awesome!! There’s nothing childish about play!
Playing (straight-line) Snakes and Ladders. Used a dice with just 1, 2 and 3 pips on to keep that bit nice and simple.
The Deputy Head told Margaret about the Year 1 Phonics test today. Margaret was the wrong person to talk to: "What nonsense!" she said. "Testing children by asking them to read words that aren't words!! Learning to read is hard enough!" Margaret was aghast, with a silent 'h'.
One of the most dangerous things we can hear in teaching is, "Well, that's the way we've always done it."
Bought this shower curtain with the intention of cutting it up to make 5 and 10 frames. Having second thoughts after today!!
I’m afraid this rocket is broken and is blowing out smoke rings. #tmwyk
🎶🎵 Here we go UP and UP and UP! Here we go DOWN and DOWN! 🎵🎶
Stop trying to fix teachers with ‘wellbeing initiatives’. Challenge the system that makes them unwell instead! #edutwitter
@SteveModini @school21_uk Brilliant! 👏 👏
@SteveModini Your class will remember burning their houses forever
I’ve heard of various education systems around the world asking, requesting, begging for retired tchrs to return, directors & administrators to go back into the classroom… wondering if being proactive & valuing tchrs will become a priority in 2022? Tchr shortages-global issue
Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy
I see other Eyfs teachers have started Elf on a shelf….I’m too busy playing where are the resources that were on the shelf??
A week spent exploring the humble circle! #RCHKpyp
