AI not quite ready to take over from us yet. (make a matching activity with animal names on left and images on right). Loving the bird with antlers and the shonky animal names... #primaryscience #EduSky #AI

Let’s just take a moment to remember all the classroom houseplants that didn’t quite make it through the summer break….

To be clear - posting this to try and sniff out anyone that is interested in collaborating, developing, validating or giving advice etc. We’ll see. #EduSky

Agreed. Looking forward to an INSET based around consolidation of existing good ideas.

Inspired by @morgsedu.bsky.social, I decided to write my first ever blog. It’s about my interpretation of ‘The Bjorks’ notion of ‘confidence weighted multiple choice’ as a means of summative assessment. 🔗 to resources on blog. Hope it’s useful. Nick

This looks terrific! What a great concept. Thank you.

Haha - sounds like a reasonable answer! I’m not a fan either - certainly not in that kind of ‘formulaic’ format.

Haha - I kinda enjoy those moments in the classroom!
Arguably, there is some depth to those questions! (Beyond ‘a power source’ I’m not sure how I’d answer that first one). The 2nd question could be quite a useful way of gauging prior knowledge (plug/power station/combustion/nuclear etc).

Agreed. Also, the middle column is hard to get anything meaningful from; how do you ‘know’ what you ‘want to know’ in a subject that you have no/little prior knowledge in. (May be useful after a targeted intro lesson though). Contextual cues and a space for reasoning seem key for useful assessment.

Any teacher parkrunners on here? Not my best time today but, for me, it’s all about just doing it. I don’t especially enjoy running, but I love how finishing a #parkrun makes me feel; my weekly reminder that I can get through challenging moments! #EduSky

Holiday read (unfortunately another year group teach a unit involving Shackleton - so can’t really weave it into our Y4 curriculum!) #EduSky

In primary, Computing, MFL & Music are, perhaps, the big 3 in terms of ‘let’s get a scheme in because we don’t have the subject knowledge in school’. A school can then easily end up doing way more than the NC needs them to - wasting curriculum time, and not necessarily engaging/inspiring the chn.
