Can’t remember who or where I saw these writing frame strips but I find they are the best way to get my reluctant Y9s (Y8 in England) to do extended writing - this terms topic - population and the one child policy. 🇨🇳

I put this on here every year, but as Year 6 move into addition and subtraction this week, I can't wait to crack the old cryptarithms out. So much rich discussion and gives you loads of opportunities to model proper problem solving and recording and organisation of ideas.

I'm constantly playing around with sentence level work for the first five minutes of my writing lessons, usually while I go and give some feedback to individual children. I think this is what I'll go for in the first few weeks and see how much we can get out of it.

Year 5/6 have been analysing the Warden in their novel study lesson today - thinking about character traits and the influence she has on others around her. What is her motivation?

I love visiting schools and learning from other teachers. Whilst speaking with pupils today, I asked them to play with this simple task. Rather pleasing to know, three decades after writing it, it still gets pupils thinking and reasoning. Download here: emaths.co.uk/teacher-resourc…

A drill that practices the action you want is worth a thousand words of explanation. Part 1 of this series is about using short free-writes to build fluency and how to connect that foundation to the skills you teach throughout the year.

As a literacy teacher, I know the importance of timed tasks to measure students’ rate and accuracy of word reading. Automaticity is essential for reading comprehension, a more complex cognitive task. As math teachers, we also need to know how to measure students’ rate and accuracy of basic math facts! Automaticity of basic math facts frees up working memory to reduce the cognitive load required for more complex math problems! Here is a fantastic tool created by @brian_poncy that was shared in episode 36 of Chalk and Talk with Dr. Anna Stokke: b319dbea-747c-4d18-b9e4-407f… (check out her resource page for the complete set!!)

Was doing some data analysis on our multiplication tables check results earlier, and we've done really well: our Year 4 teacher is amazing and has smashed it with the class. 34 child cohort and mean average 22.79/25. If it helps, I'm attaching our very simple approach.

Break the Chain with 5th grade today. Alternate throwing and catching with your partner. Collect the hoop if you catch with one or both feet in. Play until no more hoops left. Count up your hoops and play again. Lots of fun! Thanks @RHEPE1 #physed

Thank you @_MissieBee for the relative clause trick. It came in very handy with my Year Fours this morning. 😊

Interesting how long it took some of my S1 pupils to get their heads around this today. Once they get it, they get it ... but then Q6 throws them.

The sentence knowledge is directly related to the pieces they write. When we plan model texts we use the sentences that have been taught previously to demonstrate how they can be used in context. This example from a Y6 model shows sentences from the Y6, Y5 , Y3 and Y2 curriculum
