@miss_b_2023 @MrTs_NQTs When they are on task you could try the bouncy ball sound monitor? bouncyballs.org You just have to get past the bit at the start when they think it’s fun to set them off!

@jpjsavage Trying to DM you but can’t. Recently ‘retired’ primary music lead with oodles of experience! Can you add me do I can DM you please?

I'm looking for potential writers to help with new content for the BBC's bitesize primary music materials. Do get in touch if you'd like me to put your name forwards to the producer in charge of the project.

Have spent half of today on hold to @Waterstones trying to discuss the non appearance of books listed as in stock when ordered over a month ago. Leaving this address permanently on Friday. Any suggestions?

@RosMcM @vicgoddard @mikercameron I rather think that @Miss_Snuffy might have a few things to say to counter that particular argument… **lights blue touch paper and retires***

@mikercameron While it is decreed what the grade profile will look like before the exams are even sat, I’d venture to say we can never learn anything useful from results other than the persistence of social class as the determinant in performance.

I’m going “Nothing useful for another few years yet”. educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2022/08/25/gcs…

@Faye_Shepherd @withorpe My mum had a fall last week, suspected broken ankle and head wound. Ambulance took 12 hours to arrive by which point she could not walk at all. It was the midnight. Ambulance told her she’d be better off not going with them as there was a 12 hour in ambulance wait at A and E…

Turned up to hospital tonight to find the patient we took in last night was still being held in an ambulance, waiting for a bed…25hrs after arrival.

@CherryMorrello Take it very easy… the first day seems good, and then the block wears off! Demand good pain meds. X

I’m in the recovery suite eating Bourbon biscuits with a builders brew. I’ll update you later.

Huge congratulations to the casts of MARY POPPINS @JPSDubai! Amazing work from the students and creative team led by @OconnorCharlie. The first live musical in 2 years! So glad to have been a part of this magical production. ❤️ #ArtsIntlOrg

Hi @lufthansa - please could you reunite our seven wonderful young musicians with their instruments?

@Gileragirl @KKNTeachLearn Photocopy EVERYTHING!!

@Gileragirl @KKNTeachLearn How many resources could you ‘accumulate’ over those 2 days I wonder… 🤔🤔

@KKNTeachLearn 8 out here in the Middle East… in our defense we started back on the 24th of August and it’s now 40 degrees pretty much 24/7! Oh… and our A/C is knackered too!

@KKNTeachLearn I have been ‘part time’ for several years… stick to your boundaries, decide what time belongs to you and to your job. Do this and you’ll do much better than I have 🤣🤣🤣

@MissLongR1 @MrTs_NQTs How will you support the values of our school in your day to day teaching?

I’ve got an interview at a Catholic school tomorrow, any advice/ typical interview questions? Can’t find much on Google 🤞😬 #edutwitter @MrTs_NQTs

@peter_boxer You might want to take a rain check on that one?

This would have been a dream job. I don't know weather I am too old for a career change.

@christinesamps @RetirementTales These were amazing!!!

I have some Easter treats for you this morning! I know you might think I'm early but I'm actually quite late. Some of these are well past their sell by date! I give you: Smarties 1970 Tooty Frooties 1972 Caramac 1976 Quality Street 1978 Yorkie 1984 Black Magic 1989

@MrTs_NQTs can anyone point me to any books linking to the theme the circus (we are looking at greatest showman film later down line too) :)

@kateledgerpiano @MatLeeKnowles My daughter s playing this for her ARSM… Have to step away from the piano every time she starts to practise!

@MatLeeKnowles And this!!!

This bar is equivalent to the FIVE GOLD RINGS line in 12 Days of Christmas, in that if you’re playing it, other pianists always run into the room and join in

@RetirementTales Also the tiny ant must be sung in two parts….

The Old School Assembly Margaret & I are thrilled to reveal the song selection & running order for tomorrow's assembly! We've tried to pick hymns from different eras and to include a range of styles. Margaret has another day of practice ahead. She's the epitome of dedication!

@RetirementTales When a knight won his spurs is literally THE best primary school hymn EVER. End of. ‘Though back into story land giants have fled, and the knights are no more and the dragons are dead.’ 🐉🗡📚

@steviestallard I’d keep quiet if I were you… I WAS the vaccine until last Wednesday. Now I am a properly sick person…

I’ve never tested positive for COVID, never had to self-isolate, never had symptoms… Has anyone else got this record? Maybe I AM the vaccine and it’s like in I Am Legend.
