@FourNaanJeremy To be fair, the skill is in getting the bounce just right so the baseman can tag out the runner.

I genuinely think if the average American watched a single game of top level cricket their head would Simply Explode.

@ITimbrell Honestly, they should be in awe that you can stand upright in those heels, let alone walk in them - impressive!!

An anti-RSE hate group has made me the feature of a video again, spreading lies & misinformation about me & anyone else who fights for equality. All because my class dared me to wear heels to challenge gender stereotypes. To be honest, I think they are just jealous of my legs.

@ITimbrell See I've gone the other way - look like absolute garbage 98% of the time, then when you make the tiniest bit of effort (hair, clothes) everyone loses their tiny minds, even though you pretty much just look like what they all do on a regular basis. Working out well for me ;-)

My sister is getting married in March & hates being the centre of attention. As my gift to her I’m going to spend two months getting myself into shape & wearing an outrageously fabulous outfit to take the focus off her. I can’t wait for my OBE for services to the sisterhood.

@ITimbrell I'm sure they've thought of this, but practice...and lots of it. Senior kids coming to junior classes to hear what they've been up to (and vice versa), parents coming in to class and studenys sharing their learning. Start small and utilise ICT (Flipgrid, Explain Everything)...

I’m working with a school whose children clam up when unfamiliar adults speak to them. They’re worried that when they have inspection that the children just won’t speak to the inspectors and a true picture of the school and won’t emerge. Any advice for school?

This was my headteacher when I walked out of school the other day. Due to delays and cuts. The idea of politicians telling her she ‘should’ be doing even more, without having any idea what she’s already doing, is ridiculous.

@Brace_Bit @beebryhte @kerriatlearning Yep. You might want to take a second to read my original tweet. As I said, in and of itself, no, but good teaching methods with a class of 15 is going to have more impact than the same methods with a class of 30.

@beebryhte @kerriatlearning @GregPearceNZ Nope. There’s plenty of research showing that class size is not significant compared to teaching methods. We have proved over decades that our methods of teaching math, reading and writing are failed methods. Other factors more impact too - like food

Head over to TikTok and give my lovelies a like and a follow.

@CassandraMason1 Changed a wee bit now - you go in in a cage on the back of a truck, and the keepers feed the lions. Still very cool.

@PrincipalNew @ottleyoconnor I'd take that as a pretty decent sign you've made the right call to move on. Wonder who they thought that comment was helpful to?

Been told I’m too nervous and emotional to be a deputy. I struggle to see how this means I can’t do the job. Words of encouragement needed, please!

Interested to find a primary school (or all through) that champion the arts and teach music, drama and dance with specialists (or non- specialists) from KS1 up. Know anyone? Could be just specialist music teaching too.
