I had a fabulous day today at West Moors Middle School, working with groups from Year 5, 6, 7 and 8. We took inspiration from the work of Keith Haring, creating our own 'human pyramid' as part of a teamwork display. 😎

This article really is a must read for anyone who works in #SEND in England.
EHCPs have been blamed for driving an unsustainable rise in SEND. But would limiting these actually fix the problem, asks @mmulholland.bsky.social
Are EHCPs really driving the SEND crisis?
Education, health and care plans have been blamed for an unsustainable rise in special educational needs in schools, but would scrapping or limiting these plans fix the problem?

The Reception and Year 1 children from Sherborne Abbey Primary had some hungry visitors today. 😁 The children made and painted these in just 4 hours. 😮

Today, I’ve been working with the Year 5 classes at Birchwood Primary. They are reading ‘Clockwork’ by Philip Pullman, so using that as inspiration, we made Sir Ironsoul, the mechanical knight from the story. 🤩

We are loving maths week! We have been exploring patterns using “jelly beans” outside on the tuff trays and using our bodies to follow patterns on the floor. We also noticed numerals on the floor and have been moving in different ways to get across to the other side. @dalmainps.bsky.social

We really enjoyed reading our key text this week ‘How many Jelly Beans?’ this morning. We then had a go at estimating how many jelly beans there are in our class jar. There were so many guesses, from twenty to one trillion! @dalmainps.bsky.social @ncetm.bsky.social

Female workers in US steel mills, WW2 (c.1942) were a subject for photographer Margaret Bourke-White. They were known as 'Rosies' based on the 'Rosie the Riveter' icon, which represented women who worked in factories and shipyards when men were absent in war #WomrnsArt
