It was great to see how well science teacher Mr Thornton was adapting to the new hybrid landscape of teaching students in the room and also those on line.

The lesson was about making compounds and the plenary at the end of the learning journey saw a high engagement from all those in the lab and also those online at line at home.

Students at home were answering questions via the google meets chat bar and were receiving verbal praise through the teacher’s mic and speakers at home and this complimented those in the room participating as usual.

Mr Thornton commented that students seem to prefer typing their answers, rather than speaking out loud which is an adaptation he has made to ensure learning is maximised for all.
