@Jennnnnn_x 3yo -> 4yo ongoing! This is my boy! Fine once he’s there (as far as I can tell!) and soooo much happier to go to school than nursery, but still always would rather be home. It’s heart wrenching. Hugs.

Anyone got any experience with a 3yo who seems to struggle with mum not being there, every day he will try not to go to school (nursery) and cries over and over asking for me, saying he misses me, he does the same at breakfast club/after school club... seems okay once in sch 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Jennnnnn_x Gorgeous

What feels like a long time coming ❤️ just the plinths and cornice to be finished but 😍

@Mat_at_Brookes I wonder how much of this is a consequence of programs like Accelerated Reader? I fear this pushes a mentality of competitive points scoring over building a genuine love of reading, children focusing on a quiz & moving on instead of getting engrossed in a book. @Literacy_Trust

@jurassicg1rl That’s such a lovely backstory! Gorgeous pic btw.

I met a man on an internet dating site. During our pre-meet chat, I said that I had just been on BBC Radio 2 talking abt the Jurassic Coast to Liza Tarbuck. He listened to the piece with his 2 young boys. We got married last year 🥰

@lcgeography Oh my word! You are an absolute master. What a cracking picture.

This. This was the shot I was hoping to get of Comet Atlas, with me standing on the stones of the Giant's Causeway. And last night I got the chance. The comet is fading fast, so I'm not sure I'd have had many other chances. Delighted this one worked out!

Just spent 15mins redacting my X feed of some awful accounts & now my feed looks like it’s been reborn! Educators sharing and caring & positive people finally wahoo!

It’s official: play belongs in school. We’ve investigated eight different teaching methods to uncover the playfulness that’s already there. Dive in to learn more learningthroughplay.com/explore-the-re…

@Teacherglitter Love this. So glad she is in a better place now. Wish there was more space for compassion in secondary schools now.

Final thought tonight. My child’s mental health means more to me than exams. I never thought we would be in the position where she sat ANY GCSE and here she is, expected to get 4s & 5s in most. Focus on love. Support. Wellbeing. The rest will come if your child is happy.

@MrBishopGeog That’s awesome!

It's a sign, on geography fieldwork and the world has given me a map of the UK in cloud formation... Glorious!

@woollyvix Thinking of you. The firsts are always the worst.

Not having a great headspace day today so working my way through some overdue work admin. Absolutely dreading tomorrow - driving down to Suffolk for the 1st anniversary of mum's death. It's going to be very intense and dad is very low. I just want a pjs and TV weekend :o(

@grego_geog @Jennnnnn_x Ahh wouldn’t it be amazing if it could get back to this place? I mean there were still a few heated debates (almost cathartic), but the resource sharing was beautiful!

@Jennnnnn_x It’s so kind of him for sharing the way he does! Reminds me of the “old edutwitter” we once had!

What another fab share from Duncan - so many fab ideas shared recently!

@criminographer Oh sweet girl. I am so so sorry for you all and having this most awful heartbreak again is unimaginable. I have no useful words, but truly your children are beautiful.

We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.
