• Blog of the month

    Classroomtm is the blog of the month. It is run by Stephen Lockyer, who is a Deputy Head in Kent. You can follow him on twitter @MrLockyer. The site holds a collection of educational ideas and concepts including books, articles and Drop boxes. Within the Dropbox section there is access to a wealth of resources and ideas, separated into whole school and subject specific.

  • Resource of the month

    Ski Slope Learning allows for people to get to the same end result from different starting points. If you think about ski slopes there are several different degrees of difficulty, with green being the easiest and black being the hardest, however no matter which route you take you always get to the bottom. This method allows pupils to work at their own individual paces and has differentiated routes to ensure all pupils achieve the learning objective. The ski slope method also provides the opportunity for pupils to work independently and allows for rapid progressions.

  • How to share

    Do you have a great resource, idea or article about teaching and learning? If so please email a short explanation, any documents and any images about the resource to northfieldtl@northfieldssc.org.

  • Up and coming events

    Teachmeets are an opportunity for teachers to share ideas with other teachers. In a busy day, you rarely have time to have in depth conversations with other colleagues, let alone share resources. Volunteers are welcome to present their ideas in slots ranging from three minutes to seven. Come along and share good practice. All school teachers are welcome, please follow the link to sign up.

Student Bingo


Student bingo

How to do it.
Students write the names of 12 other students in the class in each of the boxes on the grid.  They may use their own name if they want to.  Depending on time, or the number of students in your class, you could use just 9 boxes or even 6.

Ask a question and select a student to answer it.  If they answer correctly, all of the other students that had that person on their grid fill in the relevant box with the Q and A.  That student can now no longer answer any further questions.  Continue with Q&A session until a student has all boxes filled in.  Bingo!


Why do it?

All students need to remain focused throughout the Q&A session in order to complete the grid, and so improves listening skills.  No switching off!  The main benefit I have found using this tool is that it forces all students to answer a question, and stops the same student from answering every question.  Students that are close to completing their grids will start to “encourage” others to answer questions.  A lot of questions are needed so this is an ideal revision activity, and at the end the students have a set of revision notes.
