I am really grateful and excited that the BBC have taken up Wangari Maathai's story- it is so vital. @histassoc @AlisonKitson2 @Michaelshp . bbc.co.uk/teach/class-cl…

@Mr_S_Tiffany How are they this morning?

Had the cats neutered today and one of them is being hissy and aggressive with her slightly smaller sister. Dr Google says it can happen but feeling anxious about them :(

If you don't follow @HistoricEngland's heritage schools on eventbrite, I really would... You then receive notifications about their brilliant webinars.

Thanks so much @kirstyevans1993 and @ChristmasBkSwap I feel very lucky!have a fab Christmas all xxx

@jonnybid The importance of using quality fiction to discuss issues surrounding climate change can’t be underestimated

Enjoyed sharing these three picturebooks about plastic pollution in the ocean with my class this afternoon. They loved exploring similarities and differences between the books, and were genuinely outraged when they learned about the impact plastic is having on marine life.

@StuartLock I can’t see the learning styles part?

It's not 8. How many birds are there? 🤔🤔

Exciting ! Thanks @kirstyevans1993 and @ChristmasBkSwap for organising- it’s such a brilliant thing!

Reading for pleasure should be on every primary school classroom timetable every day imo. Dedicated time to just sit and read. No questions, no tasks, just reading. Grab a drink, grab a book and read. On the floor, on your chair, anywhere comfortable but just reading.

@ChristmasBkSwap Yes please! Love it

Government calls for 90% of children to be born in September. 🫣

Hugely well deserved

Needed saying well done those involved! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Mr_S_Tiffany And this is why we get on so well!

Every day is improved by two things: 1. Meeting a very friendly dog who is keen for all the strokes and hugs. 2. Cake… always cake.

Come and work with us- it’s an amazing university and more importantly team!

When you teach- or observe teaching- how do you spot the difference between motivated and engaged pupils and compliance?

@LucyVonSc @MrEFinch The Promise

Anyone got a banging uks2 picture book suggestion for me? @MrEFinch you are usually sound on this. I'm hot, exhausted and uninspired. Someone light a spark please.
