Looking to gather a small network of primaries to work with me in researching techniques for maximising the links between reading and writing. Ideally year 4/5 and some year 6 and ideally Chesterfield/Sheffield area or close proximity. Shares greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for this - really useful listen. ✨ I’m just really curious as to why these Ofsted proposals are coming before the Curriculum and Assessment review due to be published this year? How can Ofsted propose an effective measure of something that is set to change imminently?

Very much agree about the importance of connecting with the learner. We can positively foster learning if we focus on the learner’s interpretations of the curriculum and a pedagogy that encourages them to develop their interpretations.

This is so true. I also received a beautiful guided tour from a 5 year old who showed me her favourite place to hide her treasure of ribbons, a conker and a stick was under a plant pot. “SSH!” 🤫 Pure happiness in a day ✨

I loved facilitating our EYFS forum today. I feel very privileged to learn from and work with such a brilliant bunch of EY Leaders. To help us also channel our inner @ruthswailes.bsky.social & @aaronearlyyears.bsky.social we now all have a copy of A Child Centred EYFS ✨

One of the many reasons why @marymyatt.bsky.social is simply brilliant is because she makes sense of the things that have become so unnecessarily complicated. A beautiful piece offering clarity around meaningful assessment of the foundation subjects ✨✨

Have you attended any of @emmaturner75.bsky.social’s training? I’d hugely recommend attending if you get the chance. I love revisiting her books too - I think I’d still be stuck in my own thinking without them! 🤭

Anna Hackett @annahackett.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
We’ve given it over to individual year group teams to plot out their time so some units are blocked whereas others build weekly. It’s a case of trial and error at the minute. Attendance is a key factor as well. I’m hopeful the Curriculum and Assessment Review makes this so much more manageable. 🤞🏻

Anna Hackett @annahackett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
So we’re looking at the progression of vocabulary and specifying the exact words that build meaning in each concept to really slim things down…🤞🏻

Anna Hackett @annahackett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
Another thing I’ve been exploring is long term vocabulary acquisition within and across concepts. It’s really helped me think about our curriculum as interconnected webs of words carrying meaning. Revisiting vocabulary over time in whatever guise strengthens these connections.

Anna Hackett @annahackett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
I’m really interested in this! I’ve used @emmaturner75.bsky.social book, Simplicitus. It helped me think about sequencing depending on the type of curriculum product. Some units build to final products; others gradually widen understanding like building jigsaws.I then started looking at timetabling.

Anna Hackett @annahackett.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
One week left! I can’t help but wonder if a more considered approach would be to focus on the Curriculum & Assessment Review, then Ofsted could explore a complementary approach? Surely this is an opportunity for all parties to connect & collaborate at each step? To get it right this time ✨ #EduSky

The current national curriculum is ten years old. In that time, teachers, leaders, children, parents, employers and many others have had a chance to gauge the WWW and EBIs. Please share your wisdom and advice in the call for evidence. consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-a...
What is a call for evidence It is when the government asks people to share their real-world experiences and knowledge about a specific topic. To explain further, it’s the chance for anyone interested in education to offer their experiences of and opinion on the current curriculum and assessment methods for children aged 5-19. How can I take part? Simple. You can fill in our online survey or download an offline version and email it back to us.

The lost art of planning
On my travels, I speak to hundreds if not thousands of experienced teachers and school leaders and there’s a common conversation in an, “all roads lead to Rome” way, that always seems to crop up in…

Excellent - I will still die on this hill: A fully resourced curriculum is not a planned curriculum because the real planning is thinking about all that content and how to use the resource to teach the actual kids in front of you to access, understand and connect that content! Someone recently

Our Trust-wide Collective Learning Day is happening on Monday! This is a project I’m really proud of. If we invest in each other, we can collectively build children’s literacy and language. Drawing on the context of our schools, classroom experience, research and inspired by some wonderful humans…
