"These are all just the balls in the air when I think about planning. The little red cross, I thought about that in terms of accessibility, so in terms of the boys that can't access the things because, again, I do have a couple. I think about what I do for them and obviously in terms of that being thought provoking I put that near the brim because actually that's thought provoking to me rather than – it's not necessarily thought provoking for them but it does make me really think of, actually, I'm doing them a disservice if I'm not thinking about how easy they find it to access things.

In terms of the other things I've put on there, I've put a pencil because, again, when I'm considering planning I think about different ways to record because in terms of the children I've got there are a couple of children that hate writing and very reluctant writers [...] and they like to draw things out and annotate rather than write long pieces. They do know there is place for that and they do do it still but most of the time they sketch things and it's a few sentences with their sketch. In terms of the balloon there, I think about the possibilities, so I'll try and make sure that although I've got an end outcome that I want, that there are other possibilities and there are ways that other children can take it. So coming back to yours, a bit like your spiral of how it develops and flows, I was trying to leave some element of that."

"Maybe if I could stop seeing the task as being particularly mundane. I may be a little bit like you said, that planning is one of those odd ones, we don't do a huge amount of it, we do medium-term plans that then serve us throughout the term and lesson by lesson we kind of go with it a bit and then we have that one document that we refer back to but I don't enjoy sitting down to write a medium-term plan so maybe if I can, I don't know, see a way around that mundane experience and make the experience a more creative one, what I produce would be more creative. Maybe that's the whole sense of maybe we could plan in a pictorial way ..."
