This year we have made retrieval practice even more accessible by printing ‘retrieval booklets’- quizzes, mind maps, give me 5s, Knowledge organisers and retrieval clocks for all topics. Completed for homework each week. Has really helped retention.

6 Ways Research Supports Learning, with practical strategies to try out this week!
*Daily Tip* Organise your activities & resources for the following week on a Friday. Have a tray for each day, and put the things you need for that day in it. It took me about half an hour on a Friday, but meant every other day there was a quick set up! #NQTsRock #littlewins

Before we head into the next school year, I think it’s so important to remind ourselves of this 🙌🏼👇🏼 It’s going to be a strange one, make sure you look after yourselves and look out for your friends & colleagues too! 20/21 we got this ✨

NEW - Teachers are juggling far more than some people think. Is the expectation that a “world class curriculum” will be co-constructed during a global pandemic, one ball too many?
You are you as a teacher. The times I’ve seen lessons go the most wrong is when people try to be a teacher they’re not. Not everyone has to sing, dance, tell jokes or be wacky. Children are canny things and they’ll appreciate the real you more than a fake one.
