Primary Geography Lead

@PrimaryRocks1 This thread is great as playtimes are a big issue for us. Does anyone have a 'go-to' site for playground games with the rules? Thanks 😊

#PrimaryRocks Q4

@primary_geog @Pampers Mine two are older now but we always used @AldiUK they were spot on👌

Getting really annoyed with dodgy @Pampers My first experience of them has not been positive. Why make nappies that have dodgy sticking bits. 😩

@Amy_Geog @BBCNewsround have a quick video on it that might help

How to sensitively and informatively answer questions on this at school? To acknowledge our students who have views on both sides. #IsraelPalestineWar #Geography

@misswteaching_ @MrTs_NQTs @EYPPC_GA @histassoc are always a great place to start. Did the previous lead/s have anything to pass on to you? We follow a scheme which is worth looking into 😊

New to subject leadership and no idea where to even start 🤦🏼‍♀️ any advice??? @MrTs_NQTs

@missgeog92 I bought the Premier Inn ones...lush 😴

Random tweet: I want to splurge on a duvet and pillows that will a) make me feel like I’m sleeping in a cloud b) lull me into a false sense of security and make me feel like the world is a good place 100% of time time. Recommendations? Please and thank you

Ahead of National Poetry day tomorrow, i have a spare copy of The Final Year to give away. RT and follow to win. UK only, I'm afraid. I'll pick a winner next Weds 11th October.

What a fantastic idea! 👏

@missgeog92 Do you know if these are useful for primary aged boys? I'm year 6, boy heavy class and struggling. Thanks 😊

Not difficult to guess where my CPD interest lies this year

@MissCGough Yes please 🙏

We all need a good packed lunch in our lives, even better if we can find ones that are quick, easy, tasty and PACKED with protein 💪🏼 Want some ideas? Comment below and I’ll send my high protein packed lunch meal ideas across to you 💖

@amymayforrester I don't think it matters that they're metal...my bluetac does this on all my surfaces in class 🥵 hope the magnets work!

I have metal walls in my office. Yes you read that right…metal. I put this blue tack up yesterday. It’s now melted all down the wall. Much like me 🥵

@PriHistGeogHub @Primageographer @primary_geog @e_rotchell @EYPPC_GA Absolutely! We use map symbols at a basic level in KS1 (a tree, a house) , progressing throughout school. OS maps & symbols in KS2. It would be nice to have a more guided progression in this though

Interested to know thoughts on this please! 💭 🗺️ Do you think OS maps and map symbols should be included in the primary geography curriculum? Please share, thank you! @Primageographer @primary_geog @GeographyLead @e_rotchell @EYPPC_GA

@MissAWaters1 😭 typical

What tells you more that the Summer Holidays are over and it's time to go back to work?!

@thebodycoach looking after us again 🙌

One for Primary Geography Subject Leaders wishing to enhance their subject knowledge and gain some new teaching and learning ideas: portal.geography.org.uk/event/view/E00…

@VerandaThought I worked as TA for 4years to get experience to become a teacher. I had 2 children in full time nursery. It was when parents only got 15hrs when they reached the age for it, not the 30 given now. My husband had to put to my wages to cover it 😒

My partner starts a new job in September, following a year of raising our child. She's M6. Nursery fees will account for 48% of her take home pay. 🤯 (It would be close to 60% if she were an ECT.)

@mytimeteaching I read this and the sequel on holiday 👌 read Verity yesterday, in an afternoon. Couldn't put it down. Enjoy

@Dave_empath @TsuiAllen @DavidBarlex @Locati0ns @ogdentrust Oh, absolutely. To the majority, this would just be a toy. But it could also help a lot of students understand topography a little better.

@TsuiAllen @DavidBarlex @GeographyLead @Locati0ns @ogdentrust It looks great and techy too, but I sometimes wonder if we aren't pushing the boat out too fast and distracting and detracting from the core basics. Almost running before one can walk. Solid foundations?

Thank you @DavidBarlex for RP this from @GeographyLead originally shared by @Locati0ns I saw one of these some years ago and would absolutely ♥️ one of these for the schools I work for. What do you say @ogdentrust somehow connect this to #PrimaryPhysics ?

Oh wow 👌 😍

@lifeatthenest 🙌

🧵 Attention all new teachers. You’ll see lots of posts on here with Instaworthy classrooms, teachers buying all sorts of paraphernalia from fairy lights to bookshelves. They will have up-cycled furniture Some will say they’ve spent hours planning. Here’s 34 yrs worth of advice:

@missgeog92 Every. Single. Time. 🤭

*Everytime no one checks my train ticket/the barriers are open* "Well I could have just bunked that train"
