To support new staff I am creating a series of short videos re supporting primary aged pupils with additional SEMH needs, including de-escalation, relationship building, being the adult, boundaries & engaging pupils in learning. Pls comment with any other topic requests or areas

Today I built my 1st attempt at a process using AI to cross reference, analyse & provide insights into the self regulation of pupils based on the 6 core strength framework by uploading behaviour logs, incident reports & other documents. I will be sharing my updates.

Hi, I am interested to see if there is a free alternative to ScratchJr that looks to support children to code and create that are aged 5 to 8 years old. Does anyone have any that have seen or currently use? Many thanks in advance for your time and help.

Today I am off to the Apple Store in Lakeside to take part in the Garage Band workshop. I am looking to introduce an iPad based music curriculum at the SEMH provision I run, empowering pupils to create > consume. Any teachers at Lakeside today & want to meet for a coffee?

I was filming a video on flying the air:bit drone I made, spoiler alert I lost control and it ended up in someone’s garden….wait till the end to hear my disappointment 🤣
Obviously testing this in the middle of a tennis court with a fenced perimeter was not enough!

Wow, incredible surprise when I opened parcel from the amazing team at Make It, the makers of the Air:bit 2 micro:bit drone, they have sent me a WiFi camera to add….that is my half term project sorted!

Very cool. I purchased a second hand DJI Tello drone and used the DroneBlocks app to connect with a simple block coding program made the drone take off, hover then land! This drone is no longer viable but I am looking at the CoDrone as another codable drone option for pupils.

First ‘flight’ of the Air:Bit 2 diy programmable micro:bit drone. Scrappy, mainly to my driving/flying skills, but an amazingly satisfying experience, I know exactly how the Wright brothers felt….full coding and flying tutorial video to follow shortly.
