Taskmaster with Year 6 this morning. Really looking forward to it.

Classroom observation tells us very little about teaching , apart from as a snapshot of that moment on that day. We’ve moved away from observation as they are a pretty invalid way of judging what’s going on beyond the surface. Yet Ofsted seem to have stepped back in time

Teaching speech sandwiches today as part of our work on King Kong. Absolutely love doing this - such a simple way to break down the speech model and easily adaptable for children at different stages of writing.

Thinking about September and being back in school #Inclusion

@ComplainDe No thanks, my mum's been attacked for about 2 months by your company. I'd rather have an apology for her. I'm just posting here to warn other people about your poor customer service.

Hi @virginmedia please can you explain why you are threatening my recently widowed mum and trying to charge her £1000 for ending her deceased husband's internet contract? Surely, for an elderly customer, a decent company wouldn't charge a thing.

With the new academic year approaching, this picturebook assembly overview might be useful to people. The suggested books cover themes around empathy, inclusion and diversity, and are all texts I've used in the classroom. Any shares appreciated. Link here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

Just a reminder as we go into a new term, that if you teach Y6 then you can access all of my reading lessons that I plan totally free, here - there are loads of them: drive.google.com/drive/folders/… And you can read my blog on how we teach reading here: mrboothy6.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/who…

If you're a primary school teacher, I'd *really* recommend downloading the (free!) Ark Sentence Mastery Sequence. It's very thorough and very useful - helped me sequence and think through my relative clauses lessons far better than I otherwise would have. arkcurriculumplus.org.uk/free-resource-…
