@C_Hendrick My 12 year old daughter has only this year clocked it…despite her friends telling her years ago!

What age do kids stop believing in Santa these days?

@Mr_Crome You’ve saved the best til last: Elf Muppet Christmas Carol And….(for all the primary school teachers out there)…Nativity. This is pure joy. The child actors in this look like they’ve been taken directly from a local school with no prior acting experience at all!

Christmas film update

@Mr_Crome 💯 yes! Sometimes I’m so exhausted at the end of the day, having supported so many staff and pupils and parents throughout the day that I just need to lie down in a darkened room. Small talk with other parents who you don’t really know is my idea of hell!

Does anyone else get so fatigued from being on good social form at work that they don’t want to talk for the whole weekend?! If I could just read and unwind in silence for 2 days now I would. Is that terrible?! Other parents at this swimming lesson… keep your distance 😂

@mr_chaudhri Congrats! We had ours the last week of the term. It was very thorough but fair and (I felt) led sensitively.

Highly recommend this brilliant episode of the #HighPerformance Podcast on #Habits Drawing from their discussions with @JamiePeacock10 @JamesClear , @maitlis Mel Robbins and @DanCarter they reveal key insights on the impact of habits and the power they hold in shaping success. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the… Thread 🧵 👇

@RogersHistory Yes

@RogersHistory Of course not. You get exceptional teachers who don’t have kids and awful teachers who do…and vice versa. I think it’s quite offensive to people who don’t have kids to say that you’d be a better teacher if you did.

Does having kids auto make you a better teacher? I strongly believe no but perhaps I’m biased because I don’t have kids.

@DeputyGrocott One of my favourite children’s books. The ending 🥰

Got to the bit in the story of Edward Tulane today where he ends up being thrown overboard the ship. Cue gasps of horror and hands held to mouths. Love a story that gets an emotive reaction from the children!

@Strickomaster @dustonschool We do this at my school and most schools across Bromley do this now too.

@busby_stuart @EducationUoE @ExeterDoctoral @Helengunter10 @VictoriaPendry1 @Chumbageni That’s lovely. I’m sure he was immensely proud of you!

Just written what is, for me, the most important paragraph of my thesis @EducationUoE @ExeterDoctoral @Helengunter10 @VictoriaPendry1 @Chumbageni

@MrsSTeaches @mrlockyer State of Play is a great film! Not necessarily sure kids will love it, as it’s quite political but defo worth watching if you haven’t seen it.

@mrlockyer Have you seen State of Play?

@Misterbodd Got to be 1991 for Point Break and Keanu Reeves! Boyz in the hood is also excellent!

Just seen this on Facebook and it is consuming too much of my brain ... Torn between 93, 95, 96 or 98...

@PrimaryHeadMrsD @secretHT1 Same here. Ofsted in the last week of term, so a completely different feeling going into the new year. Feel like we can finally do what we think is right for the children and not just because it’s what Ofsted want to see.

@secretHT1 That’s what I’m hoping for. We have had Ofsted, have had SIAMs, we’re not changing any of the curriculum and our results were good so I just want to be left alone for a year!

I have a feeling this next academic year will be different. Less of a battle, less of a struggle, less of feeling under appreciated and more of having an undercurrent of support. Let’s hope so anyway.

@RogersHistory Seems common place now. I’m in an area surrounded by large academy chains, which all have a lovely, glossy prospectus and promo material to appeal to parents. Hard for smaller schools to compete with that…but we are all essentially competing for bums on seats!

What are ppls thoughts on schools and academy chains spending hefty fees on PR firms and external marketing? Part and parcel of education today?

@Mr_H1978 Crumpets bathed in butter ✅ Cinnamon near any dish ❌

@Another_Jules But butter, Jules, butter. Crumpets bathed in butter. And you know the Devil has all the best dishes 😆

Okay, hear me out again. Not many of you are converting. Yes, you'll scream sacrilegious, sacrilegious, but its the only way I know. Crumpets: ▪️Butter both sides ▪️Fry both sides (underside a little crisp) ▪️Sprinkle with sugar (+ cinnamon if you want to be extra)
