@LettersSounds @educationgovuk @CollinsPrimary @littlesub75 @lsenglishhub @ChestertonSch @WandleTSHub @WandleLearning @DavinaSalmon @GreatReadingUK @charlotteraby Yes please, our school would love these 😊

@ReBuckEdu @MrsRBaker @_MissieBee Really interested in this approach. Looking at investing in books by Diane McGuinness (although quite pricey to buy the lot), which one would be best to get me started?

@MrsRBaker @_MissieBee We've shared a spreadsheet with our word lists from the National Curriculum which are helpful. It is on TES. And then reading books by Diane McGuinness will help you know more about the theory!

Teaching spelling by phoneme in UKS2 - snippets from one of our Y6 spelling books

The sheer beauty of this aside, for me it demonstrates the reality that children of this age are still developing their 'enculturation' in social codes. Apply this to the etymology of testing and the opposition to the NfER RBA becomes obvious....

We have been informed some parents have received an email stating: ‘As schools will be closing, if you're entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we'll make sure you're supported’. This is a scam email - do not respond, and delete immediately.

@MrsB_NQT I am often low on vitamin D (shown by blood test) a lack of sunshine can make you feel exhausted. Get some supplements.

Is anyone else feeling that this week is really dragging? I’m exhausted all the time. I’m getting enough sleep, I think. I have no energy or motivation. I’m out of school all day tomorrow at a training day. I hope I don’t doze off as I won’t be rushing around.

...clone @WakefieldMetSch and pop it down the road from me, I’d be happy with that. 😂 6) We never take for granted how big a deal it is, leaving your kids with us every day. Thanks for trusting us! 👌🏻 Now, which school do I trust with my small people?!? 😳#decisions #pressure

Art, Cookery and D&T - our Year Six Greek Day had it all. A fab way to end an amazing topic. We can't wait to display everything we have done 👍

@MrsEarnshaw1 Amazing art cross curricular links. Impressed with the sketches I’m coming for a look tomorrow.

We had a fab English lesson in Year Six this morning. We all wrote a description based on a photograph and then read the description to our partner so that they could draw it. We then compared the results. Pretty impressive work all round.
