Free resources to celebrate David Attenborough’s 100th birthday! On May 8th, our national treasure, David Attenborough is going to be turning 100! I imagine that a lot of schools will want to mark this day (and perhaps the week leading up to it) with some David Attenborough and nature related ideas! I’ve generated a list of a good dozen or so ideas - some for primary, some for secondary (and some for both) - with there being something for every context (I hope)! All of the ideas are here: tinyurl.com/35ta5t8t If you find this helpful, please do share!

@POferriesupdate Yes as we have 100 students here and there are many more on coaches around us. All needing food and toilets. Already in the queue by the time you updated to say 60 minutes so no time to stop.

@KatBunn Hello, we understand your frustration. The wait times we provide are the latest updates given to us by the ports, and we rely on that information. As soon as we receive another update, we will make sure to share it right away. Thank you for your understanding.

#POCalais: There are currently long queues for #POCoaches at border control. We estimate a wait time of approx 60 mins. Please make sure you have adequate refreshments & use facilities before arriving for a more comfortable wait. Thank you for your patience 🚌

@HelenPipe_1 We’ve just switched to AQA so limited in my things to swap currently. But can IOU 😆

@KatBunn Happy to swap 😀

These were very valuable last year with supporting pupils with retrieval of core knowledge. Pupils self-quizzing, RAG rating confidence levels and identification of knowledge gaps.

WOW! 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@MrPayne49954959 Up country have had it like this for years and proposal is now to move us to once every three weeks - to encourage you to recycle and use your food waste bin more

How @CornwallCouncil think we can fit two weeks worth of rubbish into one wheelie bin is actually mental

Another scale busting map! September rainfall for the UK. Huge variation but parts of southern England seeing over three & a half times their average rainfall. Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.

🚨 NEW: We’re scrapping single headline Ofsted judgements with immediate effect. Ofsted judgements have been high stakes for schools, low information for parents. We’ll: ✅ Give parents more transparency ✅ Drive high & rising standards ✅ Pave the way for school report cards

It is one minute past midnight, and the embargo has lifted, so here’s a thing I’ve waited nineteen months to be able to say: no school will ever receive a single-word/phrase judgement again. They are gone, they are history…

BREAKING NEWS: OFSTED one word judgements are to be scrapped with immediate effect. Sub judgements will stay for now within reports.
