'The review expects to recommend a phased programme of work across the subjects listed in the national curriculum. This will allow reforms to be made incrementally in a way that does not destabilise the system.' Part of me thinks some aspects might need to be destabilised. www.gov.uk/government/n...

It's #Wonderblocks week 6 & the final 5 episodes of series 1 have been released. This week is all about iteration. Again helps out Stop & Go making indefinite & definite loops. They get Toad's rail cart to the station, to grow a beanstalk, tinker with patterns to decorate a castle & make ice creams.

Henry and his colleagues are doing amazing work in primary computing. We need children to be more digitally literate and to develop understanding of the potential uses of, benefits and limitations of AI. You might want to check this out. #caschat #AI #Primary #compsci #criticaldigitalliteracy

Are you looking at incorporating an AI unit into your computing long term plan? This unit is focused on supporting understand in UKS2. My vision was supporting those children in a ever growing digital environment. 🎯 How AI works? 🎯 Ethics and AI 🔗 www.computingatschool.org.uk/resources/20...

I love this programme, are there any educational resources/lesson plans to go with them? Thinking we could watch an episode and do some follow up activities after? Don’t want to reinvent the wheel if it already exists

In #Wonderblocks this week Stop & Go have to think logically to solve a mystery. They persevere & work step by step to help Frog debug a problem. The final episode this week introduces us to Again, a character that helps us repeat. #compsci #CASChat #EYFS www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/sho...

I think this is great - I only wish my boys were younger to give me an excuse to watch it! My wife is an #EYFS teacher so I will share this blog with her. #teamcompsci #uked

As a teacher educator, I frankly find it bewildering that this isn't already happening. Key foci threaded throughout our teacher education programmes are inclusion and child development. How can teachers be educated for such an important job without this. news.sky.com/story/all-te...

All teachers should be trained on special educational needs to help end 'postcode lottery', report says

The Education Policy Institute (EPI) has found gaps in teacher training means many children who should be identified as having special educational needs and disabilities are being missed.

Week 4 of #Wonderblocks! This week we get creative, sequence & tinker. We learn to decompose big problems, breaking them into smaller parts. You'll love the musical episode, Sounds Like A Plan, where we celebrate Cow's birthday throwing a great big party! www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/sho...

Last week on #Wonderblocks we met important characters including Go & Stop & we learned how Do blocks make things happen. This week we're learning more about pattern & sequence. Five more episodes arrived on iPlayer today. www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/sho... @computingatschool.bsky.social
