@DeputyGrocott This is the first time in 14 years we’ve not had one of our children in the parade. They’ve taken part as Beavers, Cubs, Sea Scouts and Explorers since our eldest was 5.

Very proud of our eldest this morning taking part in his first Remembrance parade.

It’s our annual pumpkin carving competition with the neighbours and we’d love you to pick a winner. Please reply with the number of your favourite! Thank you 🎃 #halloween #pumpkincarving

Y6 teachers - if you’re teaching long division soon, don’t forget this! It’s always been my favourite maths topic to teach 😍🤓 missiebee1.wordpress.com/2019/05/26/how…

@RetirementTales @mrsrhayter 🤣

We've had a few requests for a slower version of our Old School Days montage. Apologies if it was all a bit too fast! There's no sound with this one but here's a slowed down version:

@lifeatthenest We need to try this 🤣@mrsrhayter

The annual open-season on WhatsApp has come late to my Y6 class this year. A tactic I’ve developed over the years is to see them one at a time, agree that they are the person on the group and then read their exact words back to them in my most Joyce Grenfell voice I also like…

@mrsrhayter @introvert_actor @DeputyGrocott We were a pilot school for the Numeracy Hour!

@MrsMatthewsAHT @introvert_actor @DeputyGrocott You definitely aged yourself with mention of the numeracy hour 🤪

I see your ‘wasp in the classroom’ and I raise you ‘a spider in assembly’.

@introvert_actor @DeputyGrocott The children just sat in silent awe staring, the hysteria came later once they left - It was in my first year of teaching in 1997!

@MrsMatthewsAHT @DeputyGrocott Did you make good use of the learning opportunity offered by mother duck - counting ducklings, subitising etc 😜

@HGold_author Lovely additions to our y6 class Book Club @mrsrhayter - Trimley St Martin Primary

@HelsinHashtags Flora, Mabel, Nell

@perhapsmaude @wolfofx @historyinmemes I was there, age 13 with my parents and big brother!

@chloef23 @mrsrhayter

My class are moving on to calculating with fractions on Monday, so I’ve just made the knowledge organiser to match.

@MrBoothY6 @LbQorg @mrsrhayter 😊

Big fan of the new springboard feature on @LbQorg that I've been using Pic 1 diagonistic flags up class cant do q6 Pic 2 q6 I reteach and LBQ sets a set of questions on same topic as q6 Pic 3 results All took about 15 mins, loads of questions answered and loads revisited.

@redgierob 😊

@SarahFarrellKS2 As we discussed. The only thing we laminate - if we had more of these we would have no lamination!

I bought these dry-wipe wallets to use with my class a while ago, and they've been so useful for providing support- especially with how to lay out calculations! Here's an example for short division to show how I've been using them.

@DeputyGrocott Sent this to my son at uni, who is missing the fire and the cat!

I’m nosy. I love seeing people’s cosy homes. I am the sort of person who when going for a walk will have a quick glance at someone’s roaring fire through the window. Autumn is cosy time. Share your cosy photos below.

@SarahFarrellKS2 @mrsrhayter

*new!* I've now updated this to include the 2023 arithmetic and reasoning papers. All feature common mistakes and errors (although not in every question!) Useful as whole class, group or independent activities to check for mistakes and discuss approaches to questions.

@MrsBezoari @mrsrhayter 😊

After revisiting properties of no. I gave my Y6s this today from transum. Absolutely brilliant activity if you want to get them to develop reasoning and problem solving. 🙌🙌
