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.

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.
