Mick Waters, ex-Director of Curriculum at QCA, celebrates moments of inspired learning captured in video clips made by children and teachers. Mick talks about the power of each clip and suggests how teachers might use similar inspiring approaches in their own schools, and invites viewers to send in their own inspiring clips. Video clips: An animation of a talking piano created by a secondary school student to inspire visitors to Bristol Museum. Next, The MATH Project makes a gripping drama out of classroom maths in a film made with students at George Salter School. 'The Paperman' is a short film of great charm filmed and put together by Year 6 students in Sussex to encourage recycling. In the fourth clip, hearing impaired students from Northern Ireland have fun creating a guide to a bird sanctuary. The final clip is taken from a film made with professional help at Graisley Primary School in Wolverhampton, a documentary of a term long school project 'igniting learning'.
