@Emma_Turner75 I couldn't agree more. Whilst is important for space from the everyday insanity to reflect and assess, it does seem to me that the more time you spend away (and it doesn't necessarily mean teaching), the more detached you come, and the more irrelevant your voice..

Been thinking about getting an Apple Watch. Battery life worries me. Any techy people out there know what’s best to get?

@_MissieBee I am still hanging on. Tried Bluesky but realised I just didn’t need it. I only look every couple of days now, but I think that’s as much to do with my declining interest in education as well as Twitter!

So how long are we all holding on to X for? The halcyon days are long gone but I can’t quite bring myself to delete my account but it’s just terrible here

@Headteacherchat We have moved to the SIMS next gen. I probably don’t make full use of it though.

Anon post: We are looking into changing our MIS to a cloud based system from SIMS. Does anyone have any recommendations?

As mentioned before, I take recharging my batteries very seriously so don’t get tempted by low-grade work tasks. That said, the more recharged I feel the more easily ideas and thoughts about the year ahead come. When I do start drifting back I’ll be fully ready to go again.

@Headteacherchat Buzz Aldrin once came to our school as part of a Christian tour he was on.. Not funny, but unexpected in the heart of Liverpool!

French in my school is taught by the same adult y3-5. She can speak French herself as an additional language but is finding our current scheme is just not working for us. It assumes that children remember everything and is pitched too high (particularly y5). What do others use?

@llewelyn20 I am very fortunate to be having 2 holidays, but when you’ve taken those 3 weeks away, a bit of childminding, a few meet ups with friends and a few appointments I think I have about 5 days of pure laziness. Nowhere near long enough 😂

It's about this point in the holiday when I realise 6 weeks isn't really that long at all.

I’ve been waiting for a book to make me feel the way I do now all year. What a beautiful, poignant, original story. This has gone straight into my favourite books of all time & will not be leant to anyone.

Interesting, thinking about Allan Ahlberg and in particular how important his poem books were to me. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that when I started teaching in primary (over 30 years ago), we all had our collection of books, poems and short stories…1/7

@Headteacherchat We still have TAs based in Reception and KS1. In KS2 we have one per class in the morning ( but all do a phonics group) and 3 in the afternoon, one does Thrive and 2 do interventions. We also have 4 1-1 TAs who are split between 6 children.

Hi everyone, I’d really value some feedback on how your schools manage TA placements. How do you allocate TAs across the school? Do you have TAs in KS2 classrooms who aren’t specifically attached to pupils needing 1:1 support? Any insights or examples of what works well in your setting would be much appreciated. Thank you.

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST! Only a few more days to go before Simple Minds arrive in Taormina, Sicily, to play what will be the last shows of their most extensive world tour to date. Before that there is still tonight's show in TOULON, followed by LUCCA tomorrow night.

Simple Minds are live tonight in Lucca. Ged “This photo kind of sums up the past few months of this epic SM Tour. It’s been inspirational, emotional, uplifting and the rest …we cannot thank the fans enough for sharing these unforgettable nights with us…” @simplemindscom

@DeputyGrocott We got one designed and painted for the school I used to teach at, with a height chart on for children too. I hope it’s still there! We got the idea from seeing one at CenterParcs!
