The Reform County Council are wrong to propose plans that could see 4 Special Educational Needs nurseries close. This includes Sketchley Hill Menphys nursery in Burbage. They must drop these plans #amp-readmore-target" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-new…

@Matt_Pinner I had one that I used when travelling on business in ‘80s and ‘90s.

Anyone know what this is?

@LeeBraganza I use peanut butter as a replacement at home but for school either just add some sesame seeds or use Greek yoghurt

Quarter to 9 and the twelve year old has come downstairs shrieking out she has to make hummus in food tech tomorrow. Sorry pal wish I was more middle class to stock tahini. Enjoy the chickpea soup tomorrow.

@LeeBraganza Mine are usually hiding on my head next to the pair of lab specs that I can’t find either 🤷‍♀️😎 Y10 think it’s hilarious !!

Been looking for my glasses all morning. Thought the two little girls had hidden them. Then I found them in the fridge. This term needs to end.

@Cjs42Smith It’s got me thinking about trying to do something similar for methods to produce pure, dry salts. We do IGCSE and we have 3 different scenarios that the Triples need to know. I normally end up with three columns (like your summary table ) but a decision tree may be helpful.

Both have worked well with classes this week. I wonder where else they would be a useful scaffold?

An excellent article from @doc_kristy on supporting students with structure and bonding. It introduced me to the idea of decision trees to scaffold thinking…. edu.rsc.org/ideas/5-ways-t…

@katherineschof8 Do you have a local service who will come out to you? In Leics we have Tyre Medics. I believe they cover the Midlands. They came within a few hours to me (I was at home) but I understand they try to be quicker if you are stranded.

@ZJAyres Congratulations! Enjoy every minute xx

@HillsToClimb I got a new dishwasher today. The last one gave up after 33 years and 2 months !! Bet this one doesn’t last as long 🤷‍♀️

@jennyeclair I fully get it. When I started teaching I used to spend first few days of any holiday with streaming cold and no energy. It’s as if you stop fighting and your body gives in!! Get well soon x

I’m getting a lot of thisafter posting how unwell I am after my tour,I’m not a covid denier, I always test and will continue to do, I am currently far too ill to do anything but lie under a duvet, this kind of reaction is weird, as for not having post show lurgy before, bullshit

@jamieoliver Olives

What's a food you didn't like as a kid that you LOVE now??

@AndrewPRLevi @katherineschof8 Lots of reasons but wanted to maintain opportunities for young people to work, study and travel in Europe. Despite being older felt the twenty somethings in the family had most to lose.

Brexit poll. Help me out. How did you vote in 2016? If the subject comes up now are you happy to say which way you voted then? As this is an anonymous poll, anyone choosing “not happy to say” is protected! But if you’re happy to say it’d be great if you could briefly say why.

@TeacherBusy Tub of hummus lasts two or three days. Take a container with carrot sticks, cucumber chunks, mini breadsticks and cherry toms.

Right, hit me up with your go-to, easy school lunches. I don’t mind prepping ahead but I’m not eating something on Friday that I made on Sunday afternoon, sorry. No egg or anything that involves fish or capers. Go!

@Cjs42Smith @doc_kristy Ours quickly realised that 70% just enough for an A in Chem but an A* in Bio!!! (Both AQA)

@doc_kristy Some interesting differences between subjects and exam boards e.g. OCR Bio boundaries getting slightly lower from 2019 to 2023 (at top end) but OCR Chem followed same pattern as AQA Chem with 2023 boundaries similar to 2019 but a bit higher for A*-C and lower for D/E.

@dralisonj My Mum, based in Scotland had a small procedure today. Info about medication, including blood thinners and the need to eat breakfast was given by the hospital team in a good phone call two weeks ago and in a letter she received last week. It seemed very efficient and reassuring.

Typical task received now. Patient is having a procedure and told to stop blood thinners but to ask GP how soon before needs to stop. No! GP should not be involved. Just a small fraction of what we receive every day

@Oldprimaryhead1 @GillianKeegan So they sent an email to get people to sign up ……but clearly they already have my email address so………?

So… am I being petty not signing up to @GillianKeegan email? Shouldn’t it be the other way around and the Secretary of State for Education signs up to email ALL schools rather than creating a fan club?

@doc_kristy @TeacherTapp I did Scottish Highers and that combo wouldn’t have been unusual. We had to do English and then Chem, Phys, Maths and French.

@adriawildlife I went looking this morning as normally a half term task but not much in flower yet. Same with other plants in garden. (E Mids)

If you know, you know.

@vievewright @ChatPhysics Chem is purple (or orange if available). The others can have what they like 🤪

@ZoeParamour This lemon and yoghurt loaf works with a mixture of citrus and is yummy. Freezes well too. jocooks.com/recipes/lemon-…

Twitter - we have many, many lemons and limes to use up. What can we make?

@AniqaPirzada @Hookean1 Lots of these ( like amount and ‘it’ ) equally useful for other sciences too 😀

Made this revision poster with 15 common biology mistakes & misconceptions after a feedback sesh with my y11s following their mocks. Super proud of how it turned out. ✨ #edutwitter #gcses2023 #gcsebiology Download here: tes.com/resource-detai…
