Change the mood activities today. Modelled changing a paragraph from happy to scary and then the kids did the same.

This. Please donā€™t ban your pupils from using said - itā€™ll make their writing clunky and weird. Said is just fine.

In a similar way to Only Connect, can you make four groups of four numbers from the selection below? Think squares, primes, factors, multiples, etc.! #edutwitter

Death by differentiation ā€” Mary Myatt Learning

If you read one book to your class (Y5/6) this Christmas, make it this one. @mossmontmomery has created a gem of a book. It had the same feel that ā€œ Box of Delightsā€ and ā€œWolves of Willoughby Chaseā€. Full of light and dark, memorable characters and soaked in peril. Great stuff

I've done this practically before, modelling on a blank number line, to help children to make connections between āœ–ļø facts. Tell me if you like/don't like, what you'd change, how you'd use it, why you wouldn't use it... I'd like to hear every opinion šŸ‘ #mtbos

This is why itā€™s so important to scaffold support so every child can access the high quality text, NOT differentiate the text. šŸ–¤

Having a moment this morning. Whole Class Reading has allowed this child to access books that he canā€™t read himself but that he can fully comprehend. His response to Holes has been outstanding & he says itā€™s his favourite book. But also, LOOK AT THAT HANDWRITING IMPROVEMENTšŸ˜­šŸ˜­

"There should be one rule for marking: if it doesn't make a difference to learning, we should not do it. Our philosophy needs to be fewer things in greater depth. Pupils need high-quality feedback that, crucially, they can act on." @MaryMyatt, 'Back on Track', @JohnCattEd
