Well, that's Spring Term done for me . . . fabulous projects and some memorable artwork. Thousands of children have unlocked a new part of their creativity, and who knows where that might lead them. 🙂⭐ www.darrellwakelam.com #edusky

Are the school summer holidays a time to rest and recharge or should they be shorter to prevent learning loss?

This is our favourite play dough recipe. We don’t always use the Cream of Tartar but it does seem to help! Our tip of the day is that Baby oil smells nicer than veg oil, and that you need to let it sit for a minute before you decide if it needs more flour. It usually doesn’t! #EduSkyPrimary #EYFS
Play Dough
2 Cups of flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 cup hot water With food colouring
* You can also add glycerine + more water if necessary. Any oil will do. Veg oil/ baby oil

A special moment at Forest School today. The lovely horses in a field next to us like to interact with the children. A little boy rushed to find me, worried the horse would eat the bale twine, this is the moment he handed it to me for safety Today he turned 3! #animaltherapy #empathy #childled

ECTs and trainee teachers: please can I ask for your help? I want to hear from you about your experience in teaching. What do you love about it? What do you wish you could change? If you’re a teacher who left teaching after their first few years, what pushed you to leave? Pls comment below👇

Therapy Animal session at Castle Hill Academy today. We enjoyed putting on a little fashion show while the children were at lunch. It made the humans laugh although Toothless, Cupid & Hope didn’t seem very impressed! #animaltherapy #laughtertherapy #crochetcrafting #SENinclusion

I’m up at Elmore Green Primary this week helping Year 5 and 6 to create ‘Kings & Queens’. So, I thought I’d share a photo of the process of one of our pieces. 👍🤩 darrellwakelam.com
Part finished 3D model of Henry VIII, made by the Year 5 & 6 pupils from Elmore Green Primary in Walsall. The photo shows the cardboard basis, the main structure of the body, head and frame and also some of the textures and details that the children have added so far.
