Here is a complete CPD Presentation based around the theory of Flipped Learning Have you watched a YouTube video to learn a new skill and then fixed your car, sketched a portrait or baked a cake?  How many times did you pause and rewind different parts of the clip?  The biggest advantage of flipped learning is that 'You can pause and rewind your teacher.'   Flipped learning enables children to complete the knowledge and understanding aspects of a learning journey OUTSIDE of class time.

Technology is a tool to be used, not a learning outcome: Using Technology in the Primary Classroom

Do we buy technology in schools without questioning why? How many times have you been amazed by a piece of technology? If you're like me, then quite often! I love technology, I love the way it has changed the way I work, how it has inspired me and how it has enabled me to publish things I never thought possible 10 years ago. Now, let's look at the children in my class, the digital natives. The technology has always been there, they've never been in a classroom without an interactive whiteboard, laptops, iPads or a projector whirring away in the background. But how much of this technology has been used to improve their learning outcomes? Using technology in the classroom needs a complete change in mindset and rethink of your approach to children's learning.
World Food Day

World Food Day

(1)
A great assembly to introduce World Food Day, or to to discuss the issues around food shortages around the world. One of the biggest issues related to climate change is food security. The world’s poorest - many of whom are farmers, fishers and pastorals - are being hit hardest by higher temperatures and an increasing frequency in weather-related disasters. At the same time, the global population is growing steadily and is expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. To meet such a heavy demand, agriculture and food systems will need to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and become more resilient, productive and sustainable. This is the only way that we can ensure the wellbeing of ecosystems and rural populations and reduce emissions.
