We spotted a Tweet...
I’m trying to justify my accidental purchase of a bigger badge machine. I’m making GCSE equations for our year 11 teachers to wear. They will know them all! #gcserevision #scienceequations I’ll post pictures when I’m finished! pic.twitter.com/itXLLEcDxs— Jessie MytumSmithson (@ScienceJessie) February 19, 2019
It got us thinking. As we're both now teaching in Year Six (together - I know!), could we do something similar for our learners?
So, we set to work. We looked at some Question Level Analysis, asked pupils, teachers and TAs and then created a bank of items the current Year Six could do with some reminders of.
A bit of work in PowerPoint, adding the information to circular templates, before printing and putting them through the badge maker, and we'd got some badges!
We've created 40 of them. The idea being that we dip into the pot of badges each day between now and the second week in May and wear the badges for the pupils to see.
We've been wearing them for four days so far. The pupils ask adults what their badge says and ask questions about them. We currently have no proof if they are working. But, the signs look promising and they can't have a negative impact!
Our badge machine is a 55mm badge maker and therefore our templates are for 55mm badges. If you think we've missed a fact or facts, please let us know. And, of course, please help yourself to a copy of our templates.
