After lunch, they went to a park, where they walked along a path lined with trees. Lola pulled out her phone, snapping a selfie of Jax leaning against a tree, the sun filtering through the leaves.

Great to see so many Wakefield Maths leaders at the @YHMathsHub summer conference today. My takeaways: oracy to support cognitive engagement, spatial thinking in the EY and beyond and use of structures in lesson sequencing! Thank you to the YH team. 👏👏 @303329 @Wakefield_ES
What a fantastic, thought provoking summer term maths network. Thank you Tony Staneff @RethinkMaths and Sarah Young @YHMathsHub for your expert input on using diagnostic intervention and making use of Oak resources to plan effective lesson sequences. @Wakefield_ES
Thank you for sharing Marc.
Here are two helpful examples how schools are evaluating the effectiveness and impact of their Pupil Premium strategy - @GreenshawR and Ashfield Junior School in Cumberland: greenshawlearningtrust.co.uk… and ashfieldjuniorschool.co.uk/w…

Lots of discussion around the Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR) and how Oak academy resources could support lesson sequencing at the LA maths meeting today. So much so, I forgot to take photos! 🫣 thanks for the active participation everyone #collaboration @Wakefield_ES
The first of the LA English networks was a huge success! We explored what systematic teaching of spelling looks like and how we can build pupil’s grammar knowledge through sentence instruction. Thank you @dianemstinson for sharing the success of cracking spelling! @Wakefield_ES
What an amazing, thought provoking summer conference. My take away - resources need to be adapted for the needs of your children; Oak Academy resources could provide the link for schools wanting to implement the NCETM curriculum. Thank you @YHMathsHub @303329.
What a fantastic Y6 cross district moderation today. Professional discussion around the standards was excellent - great opportunity to share writing tips and next steps. We also welcomed colleagues from Barnsley and Kirklees. @Wakefield_ES
A great opportunity Wakefield leaders!
