Reframing the Dip: Not Catastrophising the Year 7 Drop in Enjoyment – From A Primary Perspective The Mind the Engagement Gap report by ImpactEd (linked above 👆) has been circulating this week; however, one graph is being shared and a narrative is being written; one that I think lacks nuance. I…

This graph is going viral, and I wanted to add a voice from the Year 6 side of the drop.

It’s not about blame or systems, but continuity and belonging.

This week, #Year6 explored how the heart, blood & circulatory system work together in our final #Science assessment.

We started with a #retrieval task inspired by Alex Quigley’s Connect 4, then used hexagon connections to show how the concepts link.

Slides, Tasks, and the Outward Thinking in Between I get asked the same question quite regularly: “Would you be willing to share your slides for this lesson?” It’s a fair question, particularly when I’m already very happy to share tasks, and I completely understand the reasons behind it. We are all busy, and it’s natural to want a shortcut that saves planning time. Like I said, people will think, if I’ve already shared a task, why not the slides that go with it?

#Year6 explored online choices & their impact.

We used scenarios: forwarding screenshots, sharing photos without consent & unkind emojis.

Children judged OK, Not OK, Depends or Not sure.

STOP, THINK, CHECK, SHARE.

💻✨ In #Year6 Digital Citizenship we tackled gender stereotypes children may face online.

Many were shocked at writing them down, sparking a thoughtful discussion about how harmful they can be.

I’m intrigued by the idea that #teachers & #animators build an open-source library of free educational GIFs to model tricky processes in #science, #history, #maths & #geography?

Clear, simple, classroom-ready visuals anyone can use.

Would this help your #teaching? #edusky #primarysky

Displays & #Ofsted baiting!

I wrote a blog about the myth that displays will win inspection points.

Purposeful? Yes. But they shouldn’t drain your time.

Do Quality Curriculum Tasks Matter? Mary Myatt recently posed a simple yet intriguing question: “Do quality curriculum resources matter?” Her answer – “Of course they do!” – is one I wholeheartedly agree with. I’ve seen Mary speak on…

New #Edublog 💭 inspired by a @marymyatt.bsky.social post.

“Do quality curriculum tasks matter?”

They do, but only if they’re designed to make children think.

Let’s start designing from curriculum purpose.

As part of our transition work, my new Year 6s explored the question: “What makes you, you?”

Each piece reflects a part of who they are: from proud moments to hopes for the future. The centre will be their photo.
