S1 E04. Elevating Our Conversations with Dr. Simon Breakspear

I always enjoy chatting with @simonbreakspear.bsky.social our conversation about conversations was no different!
We have limited time for collaboration & sometimes it can feel weary but we can change that

Still buzzing following our first primary DHT network this morning. Such passion, knowledge and skill in the room. Was so engrossed I forgot to take photos. Roll on the next time.

This month in the Pedagogy Pod our classroom feature is β€˜Talking Chips’

Why use them?
β€’ βœ… Increases pupil accountability.
β€’ βœ… Reduces teacher talk.
β€’ βœ… Supports contributions from all.
β€’ βœ… Encourages collaboration & active listening.

Give this one a try and let us know how it goes!

We have been using our senses by making potions in the garden. Using spices, adding leaves and sticks from the garden we used our imagination to make some spooky creations πŸŽƒπŸ‘»

Today we explored measurement by making playdough! πŸŽ¨πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ We measured full and half cups to get the mix just right πŸ₯£ Then we discussed how to fix it if it was too sticky or if we’d added too much flour, great problem-solvingπŸ’‘
