#Twittwoo what a fantastic day Year 4 have had investing and dissecting Owl pellets! It has certainly been one of the best science days I've been apart of in my 7 years of teaching! All children were absolutely engrossed from start to finish #PrimaryScience https://t.co/FG5sbgltQM

@Mr_Chaperon_

Wow moment (again) Children created these awesome pieces of art to retell the birth of Jesus in our RE lesson this week. What an amazing outcome! Thankyou @MrsBrownojs for the awesome idea https://t.co/4hZKe0lUJ0

Oracy is really important in our school. Lots of great work taking place behind the scenes by @MissObhi and @MrsBrownojs to keep up to date, share new ideas with staff & ensure oracy opportunities underpin lessons across the curriculum @voice21oracy @ojsinfo https://t.co/4MGomzQhQy

Ooooooooo! Is what I would say if I saw this piece of art in a gallery. And it definitely looks like it could be! A fabulous collaborative pop art display from 5S, a modern replica of Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup print. Well done 5S, it is proudly displayed in the corridor! https://t.co/ctm9AF2pq6

Teams can be a bit of a scary way to learn, it's new and unfamiliar. Mrs Brown and I wanted to encourage as many chn to get involved as possible, if someone new shared an idea this morning they got a sticker! We looked silly but chn enjoyed and more unmuted. @MrsBrownojs https://t.co/JhI763irbM

Just like that it's time to say goodbye to Overdale Junior School. Having been a student at the school myself, I couldn't think of a better place to start my career as a teacher. Thank you to all the staff and parents for being so supportive :) (1/2)
@MissWilkinson4W

Into the afternoon and @VikingHrothgar is introducing us to a Viking game with similarities to chess. Can Y4 work together to move orthagonally and beat Hrothgar? We have such perfect weather today for outdoor learning @ojs_y4 #vikingday https://t.co/wv43dsOBKk
@MissWilkinson4W

Our day began with our classrooms being raided and @VikingHrothgar taking us out to his camp. So far we've been learning about weapons. Children are so engaged, with many volunteering to be attacked with the various weapons! ‍♀ (all still alive so far) #immersive #vikingday https://t.co/KHiyS2QFNe

@pdLouiseP @MGilbranch @MrWithers2020 @MenTeachPrimary @curious_maths @OUPPrimary @sharonpeach @craigtilstone @Mr_K_Teacher @Mr_Minchin @MrMattock Which is perhaps why we didn't make it to cube numbers within the lesson lots of worthwhile tangents from curious children
@DavisonMiss

@craigtilstone Ah thank you Craig. At OJS we definitely try and create a buzz for maths amongst our little learners! I find your tweets and ideas so inspiring so that means a lot
@DavisonMiss

@MGilbranch @MrWithers2020 @MenTeachPrimary @pdLouiseP @curious_maths @OUPPrimary @sharonpeach @craigtilstone @Mr_K_Teacher @Mr_Minchin @MrMattock During exploration, some also chose to work out how you can create the calculation of 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 (or 3x3) from 1+ 3 + 5 by rearranging numbers.
@DavisonMiss

@MGilbranch @MrWithers2020 @MenTeachPrimary @pdLouiseP @curious_maths @OUPPrimary @sharonpeach @craigtilstone @Mr_K_Teacher @Mr_Minchin @MrMattock Yep. So, to find the next square number starting from 1, we add the next odd number Eg 1 + 3 = 4 4 + 5 = 9 9 + 7 = 16 etc Whilst we focus on the concept of squaring as x by itself, it's always good for develop understanding of patterns & have another tool in their box isn't it!
@DavisonMiss

@ElgarDarren @MrWithers2020 @MenTeachPrimary @pdLouiseP @curious_maths @OUPPrimary @sharonpeach @craigtilstone @Mr_K_Teacher @Mr_Minchin @MrMattock Yes I have to admit I was concerned at the thought that your 10 piece was bright purple!
@DavisonMiss

@mailowl @teacherhead @Affinityts Definitely. It seems really easy to use and could be such a valuable tool for schools! Please let me know how you get on with it
@MrMJEllis

@mailowl @teacherhead @Affinityts I love this!! So keen to see and be shown more using this tool! The book 'Yellow T&L Bible' is so good
