Making the switch from Secondary HoD CS to Y6 plus HoD digital Learning and STEM. Looking for maths mastery, stretch and challenge literacy and cross curricular computing & 1:1 student devices.

@Sammy_b9 Good luck Sam, be the best you and you will be awesome 😎

@RobCrossley4 I am moving into y6 and would like to add some GN but limited budget. If you could recommend a couple or three for older readers to get us started what would they be?

@rcoultart @bbcgoodfood @HelloWorld_Edu @AlKingsley_Edu @RaspberryPi_org @suesentance How could I forget the latest HelloWorld!?!? It’s packed in a box ready to read in the holidays sometime 😎

A5 My summer reads 🥰 @bbcgoodfood @HelloWorld_Edu @AlKingsley_Edu and book @RaspberryPi_org research centre sent me… thank you @suesentance 😊 #caschat

@MattWarne @iapsuk @RGSWComputing @mrjones_EDU @RGSTheGrange @rgswdlp @TC_ComputingHub @RGSWorcester @EdtechukHQ @CompAtSch @ty_goddard @CodeClub Are you still going to be in Reading? I am moving into a school in the area and was really hoping to find out more about opportunities for small prep schools.

Absolutely thrilled to finish the year on a huge high, having recently been appointed as the @iapsuk National Subject Adviser for computing, curriculum design and digital innovation. #Computing #coding #education

@frankcottrell_b @sam_keeley1 @one_to_read @jonnywalker_edu @jonnybid @jenniferob81 Cosmic for any reading situation IMHO, so many scenarios covered and my goto book such that it’s falling apart, literally!

@sam_keeley1 @one_to_read @jonnywalker_edu @jonnybid @jenniferob81 Don't want to be rude but the correct answer is Cosmic.

I want to buy a book for a colleague who is moving to Y5/6 that will be a great first read aloud for the autumn term. What are your top pics? @one_to_read @jonnywalker_edu @jonnybid @jenniferob81

@StreatleySch @PhilippaStrange There’s been no usual this last few years 😂🤣 but have loved all the favourites, Youlbury, PGL Little Canada & Osmington bay. New post in Sept takes y5&6 but alternates location. Next year will be @skernlodge and I can’t wait 😁😁😁

@p_rogo @Teacherglitter I’m leaving secondary for year 6. I know I’ve made the right decision and can’t wait to have a class all day every day instead of once a fortnight!

@Teacherglitter I’m leaving Year4 for Year6 happy to share anything I have done. I want to go the other way but I just can’t do it financially. One day maybe x

Parents have been informed on the dojo now so I’m super nervous to say after 12 years part time, I’m going full time in September. Was a long agonising decision to make but hope it is the right one. I will also be making a move from year 5 to year 4. Waving at year 4 teachers.

@DavidNautilus1 @wingcramp So many great conversation when discussing how to say “brass bath taps”. Northerners will always win #lancashirelassinoxfordshire

@wingcramp I can hear it now 🎶

When I taught phonics in London, I successfully managed to teach every child in my class to speak with a broad Yorkshire accent. The 'ow/oe' sound was my always my favourite.

@jonnybid I used to love marking the BBC500words comp just so i could read hundreds of fabulous stories!! I use them in lessons too, so much fantastic material for other children to enjoy!

Y6 Reading Champion: When I read stories to younger children, it just makes my heart feel bigger. I don't think I've heard many better quotes about the power of #ReadingForPleasure.

So much fun unboxing, assembling plastic cases, and of course labelling frenzy of corresponding cables, boxes, and sensors. Loving what these little computers can do for CS/Physics/Maths and fun! @BBCmicrobit

With increased use of tech in the under-5s I firmly believe we should ensure every parent is fully informed of their responsibility to teach online safety at home. Schools in partnership with the community and parents.

2/2 Y6 English stretch and challenge I have a motivated class in September with high expectations of 11+ and entrance exam success. Who can I follow for that? #teamenglish #11plus

1/2 Thank you to all the people who are following me back. This is quite a mammoth step going back to KS2 from secondary but I’m excited and looking forward to leading on key subjects, maths mastery is really interesting concept and I’m loving the concept but now need to look at

@jujames94 @Strickomaster Or making exceptions

@Strickomaster Regularly told by SLT to come down hard on uniform, piercings, eating in corridors etc etc, only to watch them turn a blind eye by and not practice what they preach🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😡

@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq Thank you! PS can primary teachers connect with me please, I’m changing jobs in September and need to look at teaching through different keystage lenses thx

That's all folks! Pleas join me in saying a huge thank you to Ed Moxon (@edmoxon55) and Spencer Collins (@Francis_Esq) for some thought provoking questions tonight. We hope to see you all again next week! #caschat

@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq A3 my ks3 classes liked the “Hack the password” Python code in the NCCE resources. They also found the cyber map fascinating and hypothesising why attacks where centred around particular locations #caschat

Q3. What medium do you feel students are most responsive to when delivering cyber lessons in primary and secondary settings? #caschat @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq

@HalilMrT4Real #editbuttonpleasetwitter

Not #peesevere..... that's a completely different ailment!!! 😂😂😂

Come and work here...❤️😊 @braunstone_cps ... #belong 🏡 #care ❤️ #peesevere 🦋 #succeed 🏆

@caschat_uk @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq A2 how about samples of code or even free Loom presentations showing how and why School computing is really useful on the wider world #caschat samples of code would be fab ( my old Monte Carlo Fortran doesn’t hit the spot anymore)

Q2. What free resources would you like to see provided by the wider industry to schools, to ensure currency? #caschat @edmoxon55 @Francis_Esq

@2tubies @PieCorbett And leadership team ‘fly’ in too in some case

Is it now the ‘norm’ that when a school within an Academy Trust has OFSTED, other teachers / TA’s within that Academy Trust go in to help them ?

@TeachButler Great! If you need any help just shout

@MrsS_Year6 @MissMacICT @janewaite @caschat_uk Best of luck with the move. I'll be starting a new job in your county in September!

Thanks for the follow @MissMacICT @janewaite @TeachButler @caschat_uk moving schools in Sept and migrating from my secondary CS account to this new primary one. Looking for primary STEM subjects and computing to follow.
