Great Websites for Primary School Teachers

Here is a list of what I would consider to be great resource sites for primary school teachers to use.  It is by no means the 'perfect' list and I will have certainly missed loads of sites, however these are ones I use regularly.

Whole Class Feedback Q and A

Whole Class Feedback Q and A Some of the questions on here are very relevent to the general use of Whole Class Feedback, however some are specific to the systems we have in place at our school.  Just to note:  We are only trialling Whole Class Feedback currently.  These are just my personal thoughts on how it's working for me after a term using it.  I am no expert! Here is the WCF sheet I use:   What is it? Whole Class Feedback is a move from regular marking in children’s books to more instant and specific feedback. Having used it for half a year now, it’s evident that the feedback the children are getting is much more effective than when I was writing lots in their books.   A teacher will teach normally but the change is how they ‘mark’ the work.   Using a Whole Class Feedback sheet the teacher looks through books making notes on a range of things (see sheet).   The key is being specific i.e. feedback based on the learning objective (this is no different to what w

Let’s Go Outside!

The last 2 years have taught us a lot. One thing we’ve learnt is to appreciate the world around us more and enjoy the outside spaces we have. Whether it be going for walks, getting out in the garden or heading to the coast, we’ve all developed a new found love of being outside.   As a school, we’ve always embraced being outside and many schools are now, more and more, taking learning outside when they can.  Come rain, wind, sun or (without doubt) snow, you’ll find outside learning appearing on the timetable of one of our classes.  We are lucky as we have a forest area and have developed our status as a forest school over the past few years.

We have a gym trail which is used in PE lesso

You’re invited to the #FFBWednesday party!

Have you ever been to a gathering or a party or a wedding where you don’t really know anyone and it’s clear that everyone else there have met before and know each other? Everyone is really friendly and they walk around, chat to one another about things they’ve got in common and put the world to rights.  You might try and join a conversation about something you have in common with them and thankfully there are usually one or two who might chat back to you but they’re soon off on their way back to their group. This is my analogy of how edutwitter is for some people.  It’s like that party (and sometimes it really is like a party as it’s such an amazing thing to be involved in with so many amazing people) and even though you’ve been invited and are welcome to be there, it can feel like you’re not quite ‘in the room’.  You might have pressing questions, you might have great ideas, you might actually have so much that really is worth hearing but it’s like you’re on the outside looking in.
