4. When a pupil brings memories to class, so you make a lesson out of it

A great way to end the week- a girl in my class brought a picture of her Grandparents on holiday in Egypt as part of our topic. So what did we do? We went with it & explored free hand pyramid drawing ✍️ Fantastic! ? #edutwitter #teachertwitter #primaryschool #childledlearning pic.twitter.com/9taGq8Ev7O
