REBECCA TAYLOR

@RetirementTales Loved your retirement tales and loved sharing them with colleagues over the photocopier (not the Banda !!!) We will miss you but thank you for the laughs and the memories . Many best wishes to you both xx

A Little Announcement: Our followers will probably have noticed I have only made the occasional post here in recent months. In truth, it's been a tricky start to the year at Retirement Tales HQ, with some personal challenges in the background. 1/

Margaret and I would like to say a great big "Thank You!" to everyone for your kind responses to our announcement this week. It's been very humbling indeed. We haven't quite left yet. We have some parting words, some parting gifts & one last Virtual Pub Lunch. Watch this space!

I’ve put a load of my most popular files together in a Dropbox folder. Let me know if you’d like the link. Can I also ask that you share this post pretty please 🙏 (as it seems the only way to get anything seen nowadays!). 😊

@ICT_MrP Brill ! 🙄🙄🙄 Ofsted 2nd day back !! 😳😳😳

How was your first week back?

We're looking for a permanent, experienced teacher at Wolverham Primary School to take on the leadership responsibility of the foundation curriculum. We are a very inclusive school one form entry in Ellesmere Port. Please let me know if you'd like to chat about it and please RT!

I'm running a rare (cos I never have time any more) Whole Class Reading In KS2 Zoom on Sunday morning at 10am next week, if anyone fancies it. I know it's short notice. Retweets appreciated if anyone's still here. eventbrite.com/e/whole-class-…

A quarter of ks1 children have their own smartphone…. No wonder we’ve seen a rise in behavioural issues in school. The average age to own a smartphone is nine.

Name an album where you can listen to every song from the beginning to the end and not have the urge to skip a song?

@tes Don’t forget the T.A’s too ! I ran an after school netball club for 10 years , attended comps etc , no extra pay . I did it for the children .

Exclusive: More than a third of teachers who run enrichment activities do so outside of directed time and without pay, according to research that raises doubts over the DfE’s drive for schools to run more extracurricular clubs tes.com/magazine/news/…
