Had a pupil show my a cipher they had created at home yesterday. Invited them to create a wee challenge for the class and it was that good I ditched the maths and took them all outside to extend the learning - dreamland! #pupilvoice
These two wee games for time telling practice have a lot of legs! #playinupperprimary
Superb results from a 20 min morning of collaborative play #playinupperprimary
Brilliant @tesmagazine.bsky.social infographic showing key milestones that lie ahead for schools in England, after this week's White paper www.tes.com/magazine/new...
This was an absolute vibe today - whole class outside working together to build their city before creating their own bus timetables #playistheway
The sustainable city now has a cycle path - and a half! Have loved teaching time through a global goal lens #sdg11 #playinupperprimary
Looks superb Simon ππ
Not posted a book for a whileβ¦thought Iβd get going with this bit of genius βUltra-Wildβ by @stevemushin.bsky.social
is a stunning, wildly creative not fiction text that explore how we may rewind our cities. Itβs Science rich and dense, fascinating and wild. A book to pore over for kids.
Couldnβt feel our hands but a great afternoon of maths in the forest! #playinupperprimary
From power points to proper texts
While thereβs a place for power points, pupils need more.
And if weβre interested in providing them with content thatβs more likely to stick, then we have some hefty backup from the research.
31 boxes of books to go through but result was worth it!
Doesnβt get much better than this! This city is our sandbox for learning about time whilst exploring sustainable transport (SDG11)
Day 3 of using this grid and the kids are loving it (almost as much as I am!) #playfullearning
NY resolution was to write more poetry - this one felt apt given Burns Night round the corner πΆπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
Another quick tabletop game that can be played whole class whilst still offering challenge and pace π #playinupperprimary
Better than a tuff tray?
Near infinite uses for a transparent spinner and so easy to setup for your class #playinupperprimary
A game show classic for Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. Lots of choice and differentiation and really simple to setup and adapt #playinupperprimary
New podcast episode uploaded π
Available on Apple, Podbean and Spotify, Plan to Play is a to the point podcast that offers 6 playful activities around a specific curricular area. #playistheway
Hello lovely people, I need your help.
We still havenβt found a buyer for Mumβs lovely retirement house near the sea in Cromer on Norfolk coast. It really is time someone else was making happy memories there.
Iβd really appreciate everyone sharing it widely π

Bus Timetables π
This is one of those activities that has so many layers to it and opportunities for the kids to take it in novel directions.
If you like the sound, I now have a wee podcast where you can get 10 mins worth of ideas for the classroom weekly #playinupperprimary
Stunned at the amount of stars that are out tonight! πβοΈ
Great wee game and a good moment to remind myself of effective questioning techniques
And spotting 9s wasnβt on the bingo card! The image is from βNumber Talk Imagesβ - a superb website stacked with similar pictures
More array spotting
Shift the odd one out
Spotting a large array and deducting the missing
How would you count these pumpkins?
The solutions my class proposed today were superb!
π€£ Iβll try to pop a word in with Santa
A robin, made entirely from one paper plate, glued together and painted, by me.
My latest project 'Paper Plate Robin' is perfect for Christmas, but also an idea you could use all year round. The making video, photos, and instructions are the latest post on the 'news' link on the website www.darrellwakelam.com
