What do people recommend as a spelling scheme? Looking for something offline and whole class.

anyone recommend any good quality resources for children to learn how to write written answers to a shortish text (e.g. 1 side of A4 text)? Looking to supplement our whole-class reading with a sprinkle of these.

Anyone know of a site/app where you can type or write a sentence and then move round the words individually?

Here’s 5 things I’ve learned about handwriting from writing the chapter. 🥉Handwriting isn’t prioritised that much in English schools anymore. While much of the work that is done in school is with paper and pen, as adults type day-to-day, handwriting’s not seen as important.

Have made a 'Primary Sky Light' feed - It's the same as the standard feed but without any algorithm interference. So it's: A list + Hashtags #primarysky #eduprimary #eduskyprimary #primaryedusky #primaryrocks + Removal of reposts + Removal of replies

Reviewing maths standardised tests - they are pretty accurate. Considering computer marked ones to lower workload but previously they've always scored lower due to thinking in their head not paper but I think this could be taught. Anyone share what they use and if + or - @michaelt1979.bsky.social

Looking at reviewing our assessments (standardised tests in Reading & Maths). Would like to move away from the reading ones whilst keeping fluency focus & teacher assessment as limited value in full tests other than to prepare for SATS style tests - @suchmo83.bsky.social would you agree?

Using Insight scatter plot to compare results of mock KS2 tests in autumn against final results to find reasonable predictor of expected standards. Here, 59/65 pupils scoring 93+ in autumn achieved EXS at end of year (73% of all pupils).

Hi! Decided to leave Twitter (can’t bring myself to use its other name) for good! Followed everyone that Simon Smith follows as I seem to basically agree with almost everything he says! Lo and behold - all my education faves were there! Appreciate all the follow backs I can get!

Extremely pleased to see @claresealy.bsky.social on the external teaching & learning reference group. Fills me with hope that an evidence informed approach will remain central to school development with a refined / cut down national curriculum rather than wholesale change 🤞

The big step is not opening Bluesky account. The 1st is taking the plunge to send out posts. The really big step is to stop posting in the other place! I've got to 'reply to someone asking something but no post otherwise' Next step is pinning a post in the other place saying u r migrating!
