Summary:

Mick Waters, ex-head of the QCA, celebrates moments of inspired learning captured in four video clips made by children and teachers. Mick talks about the power of each clip and suggests how teachers might use similar approaches in their own schools. He invites viewers to send in their own inspiring clips. Video clips: KS1 pupils Chris and Ella talk with great ease and enthusiasm on a project they did about dragons and castles, and Mick appreciates how their teacher was able to generate terrific learning from story and fantasy. The next clip features a video link-up between a school in Saltburn and a local boy who is now an astronaut at NASA - a technically adventurous feat which provided an inspired learning experience for the pupils. Connor from Bourton Meadows Primary in Bucks sent Mick a video piece to camera about his project on flooding. Finally, a student-made film about career choices introduces us to some key issues about women and engineering.
