I don't have a blog anymore, but I've had one brewing in my head for a bit around my thought processes when planning a non-fiction reading lesson, and if I don't spew it out at some point it may shatter my eyeballs out, so load in (or log out) for a fairly long thread.

I think perhaps as a profession we expend far too much energy into trying to encourage, enforce and track that pupils read at home. Probably more useful to imagine ‘what would I do if none of my pupils read at home?’ and then start just doing that every day.

Simply stunning. It's always been on my bucket list - this C13th chapel (which may have foundations dating back to the C6th) sits cockled to the limestone cliffs of St. Govan's Head in Pembrokeshire.

@ScornflakeGrrrl @fotofacade @hellohistoria I've just recognised it as a location from @BBCOne His Dark Materials...right? Any more appealing? 🤣 🤷🏻‍♀️

@nicolajharvey @_MissieBee Echo this. I think we did have one at the bottom for a while actually but it was more trouble than worth! You're with them most of the time too so can supervise.

@_MissieBee Controversially, we didn’t have them. Ours weren’t early walkers, which seems to make a difference, and we worried more about forgetting to shut them, and being in a falsely relaxed stated about stairs. We taught ours to climb and come down stairs safely early on.

Been using this consistent format for quiet work in English when the children come in from playtime for the last couple of weeks and already seeing really pleasing progress in some of them in terms of thinking about sentence structure and playing around with language.

@MaranathaPhotos @neuoxon @NEUnion @SouthEastNEU It's Wesley Memorial Church in New Inn Hall Street.

@neuoxon @NEUnion @SouthEastNEU Where was this held ? I recognise the venue but am unsure where it is.

First, I’m at Larkrise Primary School in East Oxford where teachers have been marching and banging drums since 7:30am.
