033 : Season 3 Launch Show. What do children think about their schooling? – Overstone Primary

| |

Welcome to Season 3. I am asking 10 questions to students from around the world to find out ‘what children think about their schooling?’

Today I chat with pupils from Overstone Primary School, Northampton, UK.

You can also listen to episode 003 where I interviewed Janice Mardell the Headteacher of Overstone and get a real insight into how the ethos of the school is having such a positive effect on pupils.

Listen to me explain more about season 3 on episode 031

 

Here are the 10 questions about schooling I am using to frame the season around.

1. If you could design your own classroom what would it look like? Eg Large open plan loft style, small rooms, sit in rows or groups? Anything goes be creative!

2. How would you create your day and spend your time? Eg How much time inside/outside, how much studying, exercise, time on your own/with others, playing, games, projects. Anything goes be creative!

3. How do you assess your progress? What do you do everyday to move forward towards your goals and dreams?

4. How often do you discuss and think about – what you eat, exercise, breathing, sleeping, mindfulness, gratitude, volunteering?

5. How often do you discuss and think about life? Babies being born or people dying.

6. How often do you discuss money, budgets, savings, financial planning?

7. Do you work with a mentor? Do you know what a mentor is?

8. How often do you lead a team of people?

9. Do you like working on real projects that are relevant to you? Eg Fundraising, events for the local community, school productions, concerts, sports events?

10. Of the things you enjoy most – do they happen in school time or are they after school clubs?

Edutech Show 2017

Curriculum centred exhibition launched for UK Teachers at Olympia, London.

NAPE are pleased to support this upcoming conference and the Education on Fire podcast will be there getting all the behind the scenes information for its Life Long Learning listeners.

Edutech show is set to launch this autumn at Olympia, London on 6-7 October.

Organised by Events Ltd and supported by the Primary School Association, NAPE and media partners Education Technology, Independent Education Today, and Academy Today magazines.

Edutech is designed for UK teachers and educational practitioners and aims to bridge the gap between technology and the curriculum by demonstrating how technology can support them and drive engagement in the classroom.

Event organiser Joanna Burke MD at VAB Events said: “ The Ed-tech event sector has become extremely fragmented for UK Teachers who are always searching for practical tips and ideas on how to use technology more effectively in the classroom. Edutech Show aims to demystify technology and make it more accessible by providing an expert range of speakers and commentators who can ‘pull back the curtain’ and provide practical tips and ideas that can be used in any educational setting. “

The free-to-attend event will showcase the latest products and services whilst delivering over 40 insightful seminars, master classes and demo sessions covering topical themes such as the Curriculum, E-Safety, Reality of the modern classroom, Learning models, and Big data.

Suppliers will demonstrate the latest technology and services to support practitioners across all subjects from Arts to Science and develop working partnerships.

Visitors will also be able to relax in the Networking Lounge or Café or catch up with colleagues.

Pre-event registration is available now – seminar registration will open by the end of May 17. To guarantee entry to popular seminar sessions visit: http://www.edutechshow.co.uk
