Everyone seems to be mentioning lanyards like we’re all idiots who don’t know what we do with them. Mine was left safely on the… oh crap. #EduSkyPrimary #EduSky #SummerHoliday

Amazing! I’m in Y2/3 this year and thinking of doing it at some point but wondering which of our topics is best to link it with.

Lovely! I haven’t done Beegu in a few years but it’s a great one so may need to revisit 👀 Which year group are you using it with? 😊

Amazing! I’ve just enquired about a membership and didn’t realise it was yourself and @sarahfarrellks2.bsky.social running it. Will definitely be signing up! #EduSky #PrimaryMaths

Please give @primarymathshub.bsky.social a follow! Loads of amazing content to follow via @sarahfarrellks2.bsky.social and myself! It's a real passion and we hope to bring a huge amount of value to everyone in 2024 / 25!

We’ve used ‘talk detectives’ as part of our training on Voice21 techniques. Happy to answer any Qs! When doing partner talk, children would be in 3s instead, with a detective and they might listen for particular sentence stems; key vocabulary; sometimes looking for ‘listening’ body language!

Some of my favourites from the last few years! (2) Some probably better for year groups lower down the school but some would be appropriate! #PrimaryEduSky #EduSky

I’d love to be added to this! Currently a Primary School teacher in Wales and DCF/Digital lead 😊

Yes exactly! There’s lots of mindfulness resources available on the platform too - videos, meditations etc! Really useful.

Some time saving tips for you all to try in the new academic year.

Keep an exercise book, stored in a magazine file per class. Write/draw/show your class/live modelled work in this one book. Refer back modelled work.
Keep dates of missed lessons, other important items in this book too!

Yes, the learners can’t see everyone else’s responses - only their own. There is the option of putting up the responses on the whiteboard like this - but you can choose to have names on or off. I usually don’t have it on the board but if I do, I always have mine off for anonymity like you said! 😊

Here’s the rough guidelines for ages to match the progression steps so you can see which skills are taught when! #PrimaryComputing

Digital Competence Framework - Hwb Digital Learning for Wales.

Absolutely! Here’s a link hwb.gov.wales/curriculum-f... I’ll also add the approximate ages of the progression steps as our curriculum isn’t separated by year group but by ‘stages’ (very much ‘stage not age’ focused) so this gives a rough idea in terms of age-related expectations #PrimaryComputing

I don’t use this now, but similarly I have just started using Microsoft Reflect… Since my school give all the children Microsoft accounts, they can log in via a link on Google Classroom and ‘check in’ really easily once they’ve been taught the process & the vocabulary. I like it so far! #EduSky

Interestingly, now I’m teaching in Wales, there’s a bit more of a shift to this! We have the DCF (Digital Competency Framework) which is a mandatory cross-curricular skill framework that should be incorporated by everybody, across all areas of learning! #primarycomputing #EduSky

I thought I'd re-share some handwriting resources that I've made, including guides, handwriting packs, GIFs and handwriting warm ups to practise the necessary lines and shapes to form letters. Hope they're useful!

I made a list of picture books that relate to Global Goals for Sustainable Development and Children’s Rights (UNCRC). I use these to integrate Rights and Sustainability into everyday learning. #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary #Wakelet wakelet.com/wake/b51OJ0g...

Wow, that sounds really useful! Would you be able to share those with me please?

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I’m in Y2/3 this year but do you mind if I share with my KS2 colleagues? 😊

Diolch! Bore da 😊

On oracy: if you want to get a wide-ranging set of views on what it is, what's at stake, what it looks like in the classroom, then the Oracy Education Commission podcasts are worth a listen! I did one of the early ones myself too! @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social oracyeducationcommission.co.uk/listen/

Thank you! Loving how welcoming this space is already 😊

Thanks for sharing! Amazing idea 💡

Hello everyone! Very excited to try out this new platform. Hoping to connect with others in education and thinking this will be very useful 😊 #edusky #eduskyprimary

I've started a Starter Pack for accounts that I followed and liked on Twitter as some of them have moved over!
