@sarajcox Everybody always says what a lovely name…… I married into it but I do love it. It makes people smile 😊

Prompted by a listener today with the lovely surname Rainbow - Do you have an unusual name that always provokes comment or questions? Maybe you hated your name growing up but love it now or gained/lost a name through marriage. Surnames, First names - all welcome!

Trialing a new system of PPA this term. I’d seen other schools on here doing it, suggested it & we’re trying it. A whole day of PPA per fortnight, at home. Won’t suit everyone & I’ve got loads to do but mine’s tomorrow & I’m buzzing 🙌🏻 Having a supportive SLT is priceless 🙌🏻❤️

@twinklresources I still have my Dads and I love it! I’ve been teaching 31 years x

We're pretty sure there is a correlation between how many educators know what this is, and how long they've been teaching😅 If you recognise this, tell us how long you've been teaching below!

If you shop at Asda and use Asda rewards, "Cashpot for Schools" has launched. Choose Woodlea to receive donations. Go to Asda Rewards App, tap ‘Cashpot’ then ‘Join Cashpot for Schools’ and search for Woodlea (make sure you choose the correct one of the 3!) or search DH4 6AR. 🤩

Please can you help and spread the word Our lovely Billy from DIY SOS had his car stolen a few days ago, with a rather obvious number plate. Can you RT and see if we can find it for him, as it’s made him awfully sad Thank you everyone

@DeputyGrocott Shredding bank statements x

Seems like we need a post of the monotonous jobs that we have done/have planned in the next week or so. Go!

PSA: 📣

@TeenyM1 @derwentsideasc @Swim_England Once a Derwentsider……. always. Let’s end on a high xx

#sesummermeet it’s the last few days the @derwentsideasc flag will be flying at an event as we are going through a club merger in September. Please can you give a shout out to all our swimmers, coaches, volunteers and supporter’s competing with N&D PP @Swim_England

@Headteacherchat They don’t in our school x

Just a thought: How much time could be saved if children didn't have to write out the learning objective or question?

@Christo03770888 My absolute favourite x

But .. are you this old or even know what that these are?🤔

@TeenyM1 It’s doing that……… working in a sweat box

@SwirlesK 🥲think of it as a pre holiday weight loss plan 🤣

School Show….. heat…. no windows……… sweat doesn’t even describe it 😅

📺 The Chorus | Celebrating 50 Years of Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia For the last year, we’ve been following Chorus of @RNSinfonia around, to get to know some of the voices within the masses you see filling the stage at The Glasshouse and on tour around the North East.

The band had a great night tonight playing in aid of #StCuthbertsHospice! Thank you to Alan Taylor for organising it. Also a big thank you to @SwirlesK and the team for their terrific signing again and to @KevanJonesMP for presenting the cheque to St Cuthbert’s.

@HYWEL_ROBERTS 🤮

At a beer festival. Lovely real ale on. Someone has bought this from the regular bar. I have no words😂😂😂

@DeputyGrocott Cucumber!

What’s your room 101 food that can get right in the bin and if it disappeared off the face of the earth forever you’d be fine with?
