@mrwest_96 Love this!

Planning ahead for September with this Damien Hirst-inspired art project. The children will be exploring anatomy and expression using charcoal and chalk - can’t wait to see their interpretations. A creative start to the year! 🎨🖤 #ArtInPrimary #CreativeCurriculum #BackToSchool

A blooming brilliant time at Arley Garden Festival! 🌸🌿 Our children loved getting hands-on - designing, planting, and exploring the beauty of nature. So much joy, curiosity, and teamwork in every moment. #ArleyGardenFestival #EcoSchools #EduTwitter #WellbeingThroughNature

Spotted this on a maths paper today: “Daddy usually helps me?” Moments like this remind me why I love teaching - funny, honest, and straight from the heart. It definitely made me smile today.😊✏️ #PrimaryTeacher #WhyWeTeach #LittleVoicesBigHearts #EduTwitter #PrimaryMaths

Year 5 explored their carbon footprints as part of #SustainabilityWeek - eye-opening discussions about energy, travel, and choices. They wrote thoughtful pledges to reduce their impact and protect our planet. 🌍✍️ #EcoSchools #Year5 #GlobalCitizens #EduTwitter

@TsuiAllen Of course

@InsideYear5 May I DM you directly please @InsideYear5

Could anyone suggest a curriculum mapping tool that I could use in a primary school to ensure full coverage of our PSHE curriculum please? Feeling a little overwhelmed. Thanks! 😀

@loobytay Thank you very much 😀

@InsideYear5 We use Jigsaw and it’s had an amazing impact with full and comprehensive implementation.

@Carolin73927687 Thanks! 😀

@InsideYear5 SCARF or Kapow also have schemes. Not terribly expensive

@Mr_Sam_W Not heard of it, I’ll have a look, thanks 👍

@InsideYear5 We buy into Jigsaw

As part of #SustainabilityWeek, our Year 3 children created a beautiful pledge tree-each leaf a promise to help care for our planet. From turning off lights to reducing plastic,their ideas were full of hope and action.🌍🌿 #EcoSchools #PrimaryGeography #GlobalCitizens #EduTwitter

Inspired by the work of William Turner, we took our sketchbooks to Macclesfield Forest-capturing the light, texture, and atmosphere of the landscape. Back in class, we explored watercolours to bring our scenes to life. Art meets nature. 🌲🎨 #WilliamTurner #OutdoorLearning

As part of #SustainabilityWeek, we explored the journey of a banana - from farm to table. Children took on roles like banana worker, plantation owner & supermarket, collaborating to understand fairness in trade. We even grew our own origami bananas! 🍌 #FairTrade #GlobalLearning

Collected some feedback from colleagues and pupils about the qualities they feel I bring to school-thoughtful and genuinely uplifting. Taking time to reflect and let it boost my own wellbeing. Next time… I’ll ask what I could do better (gulp!) #TeacherWellbeing

An unforgettable experience today-our children played brass instruments alongside @the_halle at The Bridgewater Hall! Music, teamwork, and pure joy filled the stage. A powerful reminder of the magic of play, creativity, and shared moments. #HalleOrchestra #BridgewaterHal

@DeputyGrocott I’m in! 😀

I’d really like to get the Edutwitter community collaborating with each other. There are so many awesome people on here. I’d like to have a weekly opportunity for people to ask questions and for us all to have a little natter. I’m proposing ‘Chalk Talk’ Would you take part?

A great week 🇧🇷
