special inspiring place to learn? What do you look forwhen you go visiting?


#ukedchat what ideas have you seen that really makethink - BOOM!! That's ace I am doing that (apologies foratrocious English)

20:00:58 @rlj1981

My classroom is totally covered in work the students havegenerated. It is their space, made by them, for them.#ukedchat

20:01:35 @oldandrewuk#ukedchat My classroom used to have desks in rows.

That was great until OFSTED did me for it.20:02:01 @danielharvey9 @fod3 @ukedchat Pls retweet this with #ukedchat

20:03 @NQTUKHead on over to @ukedchat where they're now discussingamazing learning environments! #UKedchat #NQTchat

20:03:06 @thechrissyt

Going straight out there with it...I think every primaryclassroom should have a world map to give a context?#ukedchat

20:03:57 @fod3

make it ur own - u have 2 spend a lot of time in the roomso make it a room that motivates u (aswell as the

students) #ukedchat20:04:05 @danielharvey9 @oldandrewuk What did they say Andrew? #ukedchat

20:04:10 @davidhunter#ukedchat my iPad, air server and use as a portablevisualizer

20:04:59 @Primary_EdClassroom displays should celebrate, stimulate & scaffold!#ukedchat #edchat

20:05:02 @danielharvey9 @oldandrewuk #ukedchat and how have you changed?

20:05:13 @LauraLolder

@danielharvey9 I have worked on my room based on thephilosophy that I want to learn/be in the room so might the

students #ukedchat20:05:26 @AcademicsUK

Tell us about your best ever school trip. It can be one youwent on as a child or as a #teacher #ukedchat

20:05:34 @oldandrewuk

#ukedchat My new classroom for next year has a"naughty seat". A desk where I can put a student out ofthe way of the others. Pretty cool.

20:05:46 @natkin #ukedchat students work that makes you go wow!

20:07 @mrpeelMy favourite piece of window art #ukedchat Awakeningrevision window http://wp.me/p12Kh9-jy via @mrpeel

20:07:05 @scjmcd

#UKedchat @danielharvey9 I also need access to allparts of the room - must for behaviour management.Visual learn ears love this set-up


@fod3 I really agree with this! You have to spend moretime in there than them - if you don't feel positive, whyshould they? #UKedchat

20:07:26 @gillski22 #ukedchat I've gone for a minions theme this year!

20:07:48 @danielharvey9@davidhunter but what about the environment asopposed to gadgets #ukedchat

20:07:56 @thechrissytTry to be careful not to overload children with too muchinformation - blank space on walls is also valuable insome ways! #ukedchat

20:08:08 @scjmcd @rlj1981 absolutely agree #UKedchat

20:08:13 @rlj1981

I have integrated a literacy wall of key theoretical terms,and QR codes to extension work. Boom? All studentgenerated. #ukedchat

20:08:16 @fod3@LauraLolder Absolutely and if it doesn't motivate you,how will it motivate the kids? #ukedchat

20:08:23 @natkin #ukedchat question wall is a must

20:08:29 @scjmcd#UKedchat sorry all have to dip it at this early stage. Havefun. Looking forward to seeing all the pics

20:08:36 @davidhunter

@danielharvey9 that is the environment. I no longer standat the board. I am one of the class when I want to be.#ukedchat

20:08:44 @Mad_teach

#UKedchat I have separate areas for lit and for numdisplays. So the kids know for lit help, look left, num help,look right.

20:08:59 @rlj1981Classroom at 6th form is arranged in grouped tables andSOLO stations. Guide on the side and all that.....#ukedchat

20:09:01 @fod3

@rlj1981 Literacy is such an important area - key wordsand connectives to extend writing is so important#ukedchat

20:09:25 @mrpeel

#UKedchat loved QR codes until school van on phonesrendered them less than useful... My own books andchoice of posters with stnt work.

20:09:33 @davidhunter @thechrissyt program to mirror iPad onto the iwb. Totallychanges the environment #ukedchat

20:09:55 @with_ict

#ukedchat a classroom that changes frequently and is

connected to the topics being studied.

20:11:02 @tstarkey1212#ukedchat My walls are covered with blood, sweat andtears. The cleaners hate me.

20:11:11 @rlj1981@natkin which can mean not the BEST work, but workthat is the BEST they can do #UKedchat

20:11:28 @olivertrussell

Going for a "level washing line" this year. Each studenthas own peg and ownership of progressing up the line.#UKedchat

20:11:33 @natkin @danielharvey9 wall for them to put their own questionson - post its or white board #ukedchat

20:11:48 @fullonlearning

20:14:08 @Mad_teach#UKedchat regarding working walls, has anyone had anyproblems with ofsted criticising it for being messy?

20:14:18 @gillski22@with_ict so they could make their own words? You got apic? #UKedchat

#ukedchat I do think too cluttered is a mistake. I've beenin classes that I'm sure f I listen hard ill hear actual noise

coming from walls20:16:19 @gillski22 @fod3 & displaying good behaviour #ukedchat

20:16:32 @danielharvey9#ukedchat Thanks for that Start. Any examples of realimpact from changes you made to the classroom?


Love that quote from @fullonlearning (on display etc):Don't be afraid to let your classroom scream"LEARNING!!!" #ukedchat

20:16:48 @gavinsmartDisplays come alive with @Aurasma app:http://wp.me/p1XKqn-5f #ukedchat

20:17:22 @fod3 @rlj1981 @scjmcd @joedale Sounds awesome :-)#UKedchat


#ukedchat ran out of wall space to display different levelsso time for washing lines/ ribbon with work attached! UseALL of the space!

20:17:38 @bexteacher Communication for all and between all is key #UKedchat

20:17:57 @ShelDunne#UKedchat an empty tree that students will fill with'kindness leaves'. Perfect for a Nurture classroom.


@ShelDunne @danielharvey9 The children love it, great

evidence of learning and fosters independence, wouldn'tbe without it now! #UKedchat

20:18:44 @SarahDrayton1

@ukedchat @danielharvey9 #UKedchat opportunities for

challenge around and chances to work in a variety ofgroups/ environments

20:19:01 @oldandrewuk@danielharvey9 Rows and a seating plan tend to do thejob. #ukedchat

20:19:12 @fiona_peters1

Speaking as a TA, I would prefer rows. I think children gettoo distracted when they sit in groups, especially if they'veSEN. #UKedchat

20:19:49 @scjmcd Oops am going to be late - bye for now #UKedchat

20:19:57 @davidhunterGoing to start a' best piece of work' space for each child.

They then try to get a new, better piece on. #ukedchat20:19:57 @fod3 @LorraineAbbott7 That sounds amazing #ukedchat

@danielharvey9 #UKedchat I rearranged tables to havesome groups, some for kids to sit alone. Letting themchoose themselves really helped.


@danielharvey9 a visual reading 'race' that tracks home

reading had a huge impact last year,children were soexcited by it! #UKedchat

20:20:43 @davidhunterAnyone had any joy with interactive displays or digitalphoto frames? #ukedchat

#UKedchat Please take into consideration the needs ofyour SEN pupils who can't cope too many bells andwhistles when planning your room.

20:54:53 @gillski22 #ukedchat cheers everyone - lots of new ideas!

20:54:57 @Kelli3_J

@nickotkdV My maths wall had a pegged number line soSEN used the large nos during gp work. Also 100sq wasremovable. #ukedchat


Using the 80/20 rule, give 20% of your wall space to sts

for them to put up what they want. Ownership makes it anamazing space #ukedchat


What worked well one year might not the next.Classrooms should always be evolving to reflectindividuality of each class #UKedchat
