Year 6 have 2 maths tests on a Wednesday. If one of the tests is 30 minutes and the other is 40 minutes and the marks are out of 40 and 35, then how many glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon does the teacher need to reach greater depth in relaxation? Show your working.

How do you support smooth transitions for children throughout the day? Let’s share strategies! #WellbeingWednesday #EYFSTalk

Just read this insightful blog on the power of play to boost early language: literacytrust.org.uk/blog/the-power…
A must-read for early years practitioners! #TeachingTuesday #EYFSTips

Hello - I wrote a new blog about the teaching of whole class reading, which I haven't in a while. It's over 9000 words so quite a read, but I hope the comprehensive nature of it comes across as helpful, rather than patronising. Anyway - hope it's useful! mrboothy6.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/who…

Every month this year, I intend to give away a full class set of one book via @ANewChapterBks - I truly believe a full class set is one of the most valuable resources a teacher can have when teaching reading. No faff to enter, just retweet and consider yourself in. January.

@MissC_Primary_x I was told in my NQT year that if I was not so tired that I think I might crash my car then I’m not working hard enough! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@teachsean @dave_mcpartlin As an EYFS teacher I completely agree! Can’t wait to tell Andy 😂😂

@MrsMacPrimary @dave_mcpartlin Play is one of the most important things coming out of the latest research. We shouldn’t close the field!

Used to close the field when it rained- now we let them jump in puddles, splash & play. Learning through play is so important; it’s about exploring, discovering & feeling joy in the little things. It fuels curiosity, builds resilience & creates happy memories. Play matters. #OPAL
