@UnofficialOA Which area of Bolton? I’ve moved there recently. I’ll ask around as I’m Primary but know some people who work in local High schools.

Morning, A request for help: I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since. I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp. Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on? I’d really appreciate it!

@JamesHandscombe @greeborunner Write a review but every fifth word say what you really feel.

@greeborunner Is that your review?

A publisher asked if I would read and write a review a book written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the topic and is generally unpleasant to those working in schools.

@MissDSays I think Y3 is the height of when you need to rebuild their learning behaviours. It takes a lot of effort but you just need to be consistent. Develop some silent signals, consistently remind them of the class rules and stick to your guns.

I’m finding the move from UKS2 to Y3 REALLY hard. The majority of the class have bad habits (constant shouting out, coming to me instead of putting hands up, “I’VE FINISHED!!!!” without reading the instructions properly etc. Does anyone have any advice/ things that actually work?

@LiteracyShed @RachelOrr I had a small Y6 extended writing group last year and showed them this. I’ve probably used it with every UKS2 class I’ve taught.

I’ve always loved this….

@MichaelRosenYes I lead Music training for trainee teachers and teach them specifically how to teach children to sing. It’s such a vital skill but one the primary teachers shy away from. Singing in Assemblies isn’t as common (assemblies themselves aren’t) so children rarely sing.

If teachers lack confidence to teach singing (I would), can you play a track of someone/a group singing and learn from that? Just like people do at home?

I met someone who visits primary schools to teach singing. She said that she often goes into primary schools (England) where there is no singing. Thoughts?

@MissKhan__ @LoveIsland Not much because I don’t know what to are talking about really.

@bbcTeaching @LoveIsland What can ya say 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yasmin calling Dejon fake? Toni and Meg rehashing their beef? Harry & Shakira vs Meg & D… we honestly can’t keep up 🫣 #LoveIsland

@MissKhan__ @LoveIsland I know, right?!

@LoveIsland Can someone find an example of when Meg has been there for Shakira as she keeps claiming? I fear she’s rewritten the past.

@Misterbodd Why is Ozzy bare legged?

@bbcTeaching He's just become self conscious and started shaving

I'm a bit worried, Ozzy Osbourne has been dead for 2 days and I've not seen any memes of Paddington escorting him to heaven... I asked AI to help but I don't think it knows what he looks like...

@ShakinthatChalk Been to Norway twice, one of the best holidays out there

Anyone gone on one of those cruise holidays? I’m looking at the short 7 day ones from uk to Scandinavia or Spain. Good for kids? Anything to know about?

@pastelteacher That second sentence isn’t grammatically correct.

100% on grammar with 57% GDS! Absolutely buzzing! ❤️✨ Does that mean I can officially call myself a grammar queen or?

@MrEFinch @MissClarkeY3 Our KS1 choir sang it beautifully today

@MissClarkeY3 Flipping heck. Just watched that for the first time in many years. Made me cry AGAIN!

Can anyone recommend any choir songs for ks2 please?🙏🏼

Incredible day at the Prestolee MAT conference listening to @miss_mcinerney @TarinderGill @KateJones_teach @CraigMcKeeEdu @canva

@MissSDoherty @Snotlady5 @Dorastar1 @Miss_B_Biology @KJF239 I’ve always got the brand but noticed Boots do it now and it’s cheaper

@Snotlady5 @bbcTeaching @Dorastar1 @Miss_B_Biology @KJF239 Love this for you 😂

There are many times I step outside to bring the laundry in (to then put it in the drier to remove the pollen) that I wonder how I’m supposed to genuinely appreciate the outdoors & my garden with horrendous hay fever- does anyone have a solution- do you just stay indoors?

@Dorastar1 @Snotlady5 @Miss_B_Biology @KJF239 Here to say that the Allevia/fexafenidine is the best meds I’ve used in a long time. Makes your throat dry but I still take it at night rather than in the morning

@Snotlady5 @Miss_B_Biology @KJF239 Daughter has fexafenidine 120mg on a 3 month prescription from doctor for her hayfever cos she was crying constantly. Works out cheaper in the long run than over the counter but you can get own brand in boots now cheaper than allevia.

@redgierob Looks like you made the right choice!
