The routine
- 1Minute 0–5: look back. Which moments got the most reactions last week? Do more of that.
- 2Minute 5–15: pick five classroom ideas — one per weekday — across areas: a mover, a maker, a counter, a talker, an outdoor. Note the capture moment for each.
- 3Minute 15–18: pick one take-home brief for Wednesday. Ten minutes, one object, one photo.
- 4Minute 18–20: write the week's five learning tags on a card for the wall.
Why decide the photo in advance
Because otherwise you'll take it during the concentration, or not at all. ‘Catch this moment’ written next to the idea turns documentation into a plan, not an afterthought.
Where the ideas come from
Oyku's Spark bank sorts hundreds by age and skill and writes the capture moment for you; the free versions are at /activities. Rotate through a collection a month and you'll never plan from a blank page.

Let Spark plan the week
Fresh ideas every week, sorted by standard, each with its capture moment — and two taps to send one home.
