@hayderkhan1974 Thank you so much for your help. I found data so complex especially regarding SEND but you really enlightened me -I learnt so much!!!!

Amazing vibes at the #Leadership Summit for future #BAME headteachers in Warwick! Shared data skills (Excel, SIMS, 4Matrix), learned so much about #AI, #leadership, and #SEN. Great conversations and a perfect end with a top meal at #MyDhabba 👏 #Data #AI #SEN #Networking

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish. Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory. A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?" Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?” Values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.” Calltoactivism

@jonnybid @cicadabooks @MichaelRosenYes @PoetrySociety @Brownsword74 @RuddickRichard @MissBTeaches_ @Bedemeister @Alibrarylady @my_red_spark @erinlynhamilton Thank you!

I'm always pleased to learn about a new poet. Forwards Always by Matthew Hodson is a highly entertaining collection, with just the kind of humour that will appeal to my Y5/6 class. It'll definitely be a favourite for Poem of the Day as the poetry is perfect for performing.

@rondelle10_b @JessieJ @ReallyschoolK @ms_manak @grahamandre @cerasmusteach @BrightLeadChris @ICTEvangelist @MalCPD @ottleyoconnor @Cupacoco @Audiekins A timely reminder:)

Today, the words of inspiration from one of @JessieJ’s earlier songs (Who You Are) are resonating with me. Great reminder to remain true to ourselves when things go wrong. Sometimes the setback can prepare us for a great comeback. I hope that everyone has a great day.

@StudyMaths an idea for the completion table. It would be great if you could create it! My students sooo need to learn to tell the time:) Thank you!

@rondelle10_b @ms_manak @MandyPreville @Audiekins @LFPassmore @Ethical_Leader @ZenonosZena @cerasmusteach @MalCPD Thank you. Happy women’s day you wonderful woman.🫶🏻

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity (Ref: internationalwomensday.com To all the fab women in my life (incl. my mum 💕) who are powerful role models Tag an incredible women in the thread #internationalwomensday2023

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.

Oh, while we're all talking about author/illustrator visits, can I draw attention to this free resource I created. It's over on my Padlet page! padlet.com/p0077346/high-…

My latest article for Educate, the @NEUnion magazine, is all about the importance of poetry in the classroom. It's often overlooked and really shouldn't be. #poetrycommunity
