BRIDGING THE KS2-3 GAP - considering the varied prior knowledge we see in Y7s I’ve created a KS2 recap booklet to use for homework during HT1 - the aim is to ensure all Y7s have the basic understanding required to access our KS3 curriculum. Link below... 1/2

@m_chiles @LHS_HighSchool 👏👏👏👏👏👏

My first half term as a Headteacher complete ✅ A great start to the academic year for @LHS_HighSchool 🌟 Wishing all the community a restful break with family and friends 😊 #TheLongdendaleLegacy

@rachelcohen7 Her name is @ChardineTaylor and I’m SO glad she said what she said because the excuses were getting BORING.

One Black woman totally put them in their place; racism is at the centre of what it means to be British within the imperial core. Economic apologism as a softleft version of ‘reasonable concerns’. Ideology matters. No apologism for White violence! Would love to know who she was.

1/2 Went to the Cheadle demo. Great so many people were mobilised and that for whatever reason the racists did not show. However. Many speeches by white trade unionists and old left men pushing solely economic explanations/ mitigations and cautioning against use ‘fascist ’.

@RobCOYI94 @JonnyH95 @slengington Just FYI seeking asylum is not illegal. Everyone has the legal right to do. I’m sure you’d do it if your family faced death/persecution in your home country. Also genuine question - what do you think about Britain colonising 56 countries?

@JonnyH95 @slengington People doing illegal acts (illegally trying to enter a country) are innocent? But people who have an opinion in a free democratic country are not innocent? What kind of warped logic is that? Think you might want to educate yourself a little more before commenting.

Saw RIP Tommy trending and got excited…

I'm relocating and leaving my role 😢 if interested and have any questions direct message me! tes.com/jobs/vacancy/s…

@NavPMishra No lesson learned from November then.

My statement on today's vote.

If schools want to use clipboards and it works leave them to it. If schools want to have silent corridors and it works leave them to it. If schools want to use TLAC strategies and it works leave them to it. If schools don’t want to use any of these strategies and it works leave them to it. The communities that schools serve are different. What I see on here is people calling out schools that use these strategies because they don’t agree with them. What I rarely see is the opposite where people call out schools for not using them. I think it’s unfair and unnecessary to be calling out schools who are trying to make a difference for their students no matter what approach they take to do it.

@frshaaaw @NavPMishra @usdaw Strategically turned the comments off on that tweet too. Integrity in tatters

@NavPMishra @usdaw Why do you say you call for a ceasefire and abstain? Self preservation. Remember it is the people who send you to Westminster.

@MissESGeography Yesss and without adding extra work load for you too!

@DreaGeography Love this!! Definitely a work in progress but I agree that this would make it more elevated 🥰

Tested some new KS3 Revision Sheets 🌎

This book is so powerful. A story which highlights that education is vital in tackling the complexities of social mobility. 10/10 recommend for anyone but particularly those in education.

A fantastic opportunity to join a trust that is values driven and always top 5 nationally for progress. Added perk is getting to be part of a wonderful supportive geography team (not biased at all). tes.com/jobs/vacancy/t…

@GeogChat Structured ‘brain dump’ A3 sheet of prior learning. Students dump everything they know into each box, then use their KO/booklet to go back with green pen and fill any gaps/add detail etc

Evening everyone it's 8pm and time for @GeogChat. This week the focus is cover lessons, here is Question 1 #coverwork #geography #geographyteachers

@Miss_Snuffy The pride of the older brother has got me 😭

Fathers and their children. 🥰 One happy dad!! And his older brother who was with us for 7 years and is now at Warwick studying maths.

@MrD_ESC @MrEagerTeacher such a misguided comment, a minor change that does not affect school but might reduce the stress/negative connotations associated for a child not looked after by a parent can only be a positive. I think we do need to ‘pander’ to the emotional well-being of our students sometimes.

Our HT wants to rename our parent consultations as not all children are looked after by their parents. Has anyone else changed their name and what have they been changed to?

@KEdge23 Asylum seeking is not illegal immigration for one

Perhaps the Archbishop of Canterbury should stay out of politics this time. At the end of the day, illegal immigration to this country has to be stopped. As do those who facilitate people smuggling. Majority of this country are fully behind the Rwanda plans to tackle this.

Hey everyone! It's Oxford Uni Geog Soc's new Access Officer here. I'm keen to hear from Geography teachers, Head of Depts, educators, parents and students about what we should be doing to encourage more state-educated students to apply for Geog! DMs open!!

Sun came out for our last morning at @Ghyll_Head. A great few days with y8.

marymyatt.com/blog/how-rich-… good food for thought!

Can’t believe I haven’t read this until now, so many pearls of wisdom. @Doug_Lemov
