I have gathered lots of ideas and written a new blog about Reading for Pleasure in the classroom 📚📖 Credited in blog: @smithsmm @MrBoothY6 @ReadingExplorer @MaryMyatt @Meringoo @Misterbodd @QTMissL teachingandlearning-kslater.com/2019/06/20/dev…

Please can we settle a debate… what colour are these shoes??!

Anyone tried using part-part-whole models and bar models for spelling? Makes perfect sense to me 😀 #primaryrocks #edutwitter #crosscurricularmaths

Change the mood activities today. Modelled changing a paragraph from happy to scary and then the kids did the same.

This. Please don’t ban your pupils from using said - it’ll make their writing clunky and weird. Said is just fine.

@MrWithersAHT Year 5 👍

Which year group did you complete your NQT year in? 🤷🏻‍♂️

So anyone who knows me, knows that I love to write a blog! I’ve started blogging about our journey with our beautiful twins. For anyone out there who is a twin parent, or I just interested in the journey of a first time mum, here is my first blog post😊 twinmammauk.wordpress.com/2022/01/06/our…

@Mr_Keyte My little one spent time in hospital too. She was 8 weeks. It’s so hard and I really feel for you. Sending lots of positive thought your way and so glad he is on the mend x

Day 4 - Maxie has just had his first bottle feed for 36 hours so let’s see how he responds. Hugely grateful to my school for being so supportive and understanding. I can only imagine how a situation like this would feel for a teacher working in a less compassionate environment.

In a similar way to Only Connect, can you make four groups of four numbers from the selection below? Think squares, primes, factors, multiples, etc.! #edutwitter

@AidanSevers Y5, Y6, Y6, Y6, Y6, Y5/6, Y5/6, Y5/6, Y4/5, Y5/6, now on mat leave so will find out when I return!!

I am putting together an offer for #nonfiction November for local schools. I am looking for one more hardback non-fiction books to go with these (focus is on reading for pleasure) loved to know what your contenders would be. @Snotlady5 @Rosemarycalm @BooksTales @_Reading_Rocks_

To reduce the stress when SATs hit, I thought it might be really helpful to have a thread of useful resources for Year 6 teachers to share which help teach tricky concepts, revise or just good activities. If you have something which you love using, pop it below! 👇🏼

@maternityCPD Nope, yes and nope!! Happy to share stories 😊

@MissSeymour_ Holes! Winner every time

@ReadingExplorer @smithsmm @MrBoothY6 @MaryMyatt @Meringoo @Misterbodd @QTMissL Thanks John, that really means a lot! Happy Sunday ☺️

@Kate8917 @smithsmm @MrBoothY6 @MaryMyatt @Meringoo @Misterbodd @QTMissL Hi Kate - just revisited your RfP blog and really enjoyed doing so. Just wanted to say thanks again for writing such a wonderful personal experience. Thanks also for quoting me (via Simon Smith) - to be in such company is an honour. Keep up the good work and happy reading.

@MissCTT20 @MrTs_NQTs I worked in an RI school as an NQT and it was the best thing I did. Amazing children, great staff and I learnt so much!

*New resources* -Planet fact files (with my own artwork) -Fact retrieval questions - Statistics for graph plotting - Top trumps style posters for each planet - Diagrams and explanations of the geocentric and heliocentric solar system models mrsfclassroom.wordpress.com/2021/04/25/sci… #edutwitter

@BfWilkinson @MrTs_NQTs I have three little hearts on my wrist. No problems so far ☺️☺️

Teachers and tattoos- been told so many mixed things about this. Would love tattoos but been told I wouldn’t get a job. Can I have some views and advice on the matter! TIA ✨ @MrTs_NQTs
