BLC Early Years forum meet to moderate

This week Reception teachers from 8 of our schools met to jointly moderate their work on the Early Years Profile documentation. This session was facilitated by Clare Bradley, Deputy Head at Effra Nursery who is a moderator for Lambeth. Teachers had brought along learning journey examples of 3 children at different stage of development. Everyone agreed how valuable this joint working session was and discussed something they had seen in a colleague’s practice that they would try and incorporate into their own. Thanks to all who attended and to Stockwell Children’ Centre for hosting.

Maths Problem Solving morning at Jessop Primary for our cluster

This morning children from KS1 and KS2 worked in teams to crack an array of maths problems and puzzles, provided by World of Maths. This event was part of a programme put together by our cluster of schools over the academic year, challenging some of the most able students in particular subject areas. The session was very hands-on and very much self led, testing skills in shape and pattern recognition, problem solving using processes of elimination and confidence with number. We have some very able children in our cluster!

The children proved excellent interviewers and collected lots of material that they will bring into a story next week. Looking forward to seeing the work coming up!
