This week I've been delivering ITAP week 3 for student teachers on Best Practice Network's ITT programme.
It was all about scaffolding, and this group have been great. It's the third week I've had the pleasure of spending with them this year (albeit virtually), and they are so reflective.

But I'm enjoying working on these graphics!
It's all for a Speaking and Listening curriculum that @Clive_FocusEd is writing!
If you want to know more, I'm free after Xmas 😜

Last night, the new elves (Jingle and Jangle) decided to play a new game.
The card left out, a history question - my favourite!
But it's got me thinking... what a great starter game to play with a class to see if they can remember simple chronology.

This picture is a throwback to last year, but today I reprised my role as Santa as part of my 3 part plan for dressing up this season!
This Saturday, I'll be grinching it up again at my daughters' school's Christmas fair!
I'm beginning to get a bit of a rep... which was completely unintended!

I've switched my attention this week back to the Learning Challenge Curriculum.
Over the next few weeks, I'm looking at how we can develop the great resources for Art and DT even further.
I'm half way through developing further resources for a DT unit focussing on designing and making logos in Y1.

Great to catch up with my ITAP group again today for Best Practice Network.
This week's focus on questioning has started really well. Lots of research based study.
Really looking forward to seeing their learning and a few presentations at the end of this week!

Genuine question and looking for suggestions.
I'm working on developing an AI feature for the Learning Challenge Curriculum and want it to be useful.
If you could ask an AI chat bot anything about the wider curriculum, what would it be?
Asking for a friend... she's called Elsie 😜

Great to spend today at Sacred Heart in Bolton, with student teachers as part of their core training at BPN.
Today was all about inclusive practice and we had some great discussions (and some laughs along the way!)

Just spent another great day consulting at a school in Rochdale.
Today we've been looking at maths in the lower year groups and how we can develop children's use of mathematical vocabulary.
Vocabulary and concepts have been a bit of a theme for me over the last couple of weeks!

A big day of history coming up next Thursday! I'll be talking about how you can develop history in KS1 and KS2 in the afternoon.
Had a visit from a friend while I've been working on them too! This is Alba, and she often comes and keeps me company in my office!
