If you’re looking for great examples of classical music to show primary-aged children then Bill Bailey’s performance of Anderson’s ‘The Typewriter’ at last week’s ’Last Night of the Proms’ is fab! Lovely discussion points about performance, and what constitutes an instrument. #PrimarySky #EduSky
Haven’t been on Bluesky in probably a year but I’m so keen to be back in touch with the wider teaching community. Is this where everyone is now? What are your best tips for getting the most from it? #PrimarySky #EduSky

I’m intrigued by the idea that #teachers & #animators build an open-source library of free educational GIFs to model tricky processes in #science, #history, #maths & #geography?
Clear, simple, classroom-ready visuals anyone can use.
Would this help your #teaching? #edusky #primarysky

As mentioned in the above resource page:
- add a link to your profile bio to your website
- research tags that will help you connect with your target audience. e.g educators: #EduSky, primary educators #PrimarySky, also #LibrarySky (again, see resource page for other suggestions)
Hope this helps!

Just read this sweet picture book,SUNDAY RAIN, illustrated by Amariah Rauscher, written by Rosie J. Pova. It’s about rain and imagination. This would be a nice one for an early years read aloud, followed up by drawing things to do on a rainy day or types of weather. 📚👍🏻 #kidlit #primarysky #edusky

Instagram post by @maistorybooklibrary. On the left, a woman stands in a library holding the picture book I Want to Read All the Books by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. A text overlay reads, “I need a picture book rec for… Developing a joy for reading.” On the right is the caption explaining that the creator’s content is driven by audience requests, with instructions on how to request book recommendations.
Thanks to maistorybooklibrary (IG) for recommending my most recent solo picture book, I Want To Read ALL The Books, on her #Bookstagram. Much appreciated. #KidLit #PrimarySky #EduSky

Displays & #Ofsted baiting!
I wrote a blog about the myth that displays will win inspection points.
Purposeful? Yes. But they shouldn’t drain your time.

New #Edublog 💭 inspired by a @marymyatt.bsky.social post.
“Do quality curriculum tasks matter?”
They do, but only if they’re designed to make children think.
Let’s start designing from curriculum purpose.
