@maxkruger @sainsburys Hello I’m the same just now. Have reinstalled and still a problem. Right in middle of amending my order 😩

Have just seen that this is being published in a few weeks, from @clpe1 and @storyriver (illustrations by @kenwilsonmax). I think it'll be one of the most important educational texts of 2024. #ReflectingRealities

Want to give your child a leg up in kindergarten? Expose them to a million extra words. It’s easier than it sounds. I wrote recently about the vocabulary building power of reading aloud to your child. Books expose children to new worlds through their storytelling - and with those new worlds come new WORDS. Words that you may not have had occasion to use otherwise. Reading develops this vocabulary quality in part through vocabulary quantity. A recent study from Ohio State University suggests that children who are read five books a day from infancy will be exposed to 1.4 million more words by kindergarten than those who lack this advantage. If five books seems like a lot, rest assured that there’s advantage to any reading at all. Children read a single book a day will benefit to the tune of 290,000 more words. A rich vocabulary lends itself to explosive reading growth when the time comes. That’s because you can’t truly decode words you don’t know. So read, read, read with your little one. You’ll be amazed by the return on investment. This adorable little book worm was shared to IG by pitterpatterpals_.

There are some books that all children should get to experience during their time at primary school. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo is one of them.

@MissT1302 Are you ok? Are you safe? Do you have someone to talk to?

Feel like the biggest burden and that I don’t add anything positive to anyone’s life. Probably why I don’t have any friends. I’m so lonely, even though I’m around people all the time. Starting to wonder if it’d be better if I could just disappear.

Please help me say thank you to the wonderful staff at Ayrshire Hospice for looking after my brother before he passed away. I’m running a half marathon! Thank you ❤️💙🙏🥹 justgiving.com/page/diane-buc…

@gblackwellbooks @Bridgeanne My school do this topic really well. Trips to the museum and artwork and wonderful class displays. Lovely to see kids so interested in history!

📚Teachers📚 Is anyone teaching Titanic to Y5/6 this term? Due to a cover refresh, I've got 15 copies of The Titanic Tunnel which I'd like to donate as a class set. RT/comment to enter. Drawn 20/2 🎉

@FromNikki @KarenLNHollis Hot Ribena 👍

@KarenLNHollis Soluble aspirin, lucozade and a Mr Matey bath

Were you a child before the invention of Calpol? What did you have instead? When I was ill as a kid in the 1970s, I would sleep in my parents' bed and would be cured by a Chelsea bun and Lucozade.

@OneNightStanzas 👍✅🦦🚫🌲 I have no idea 🤣

@fastworkers6 @OliverJeffers

This is how handmade globes were made in the 1950s

@MrsMc_teaches Hi I would love to see a copy thank you xx

Seen lots of debates about CP in year 1. We have been experimenting with this in yr1&2 for the last 8years in my school. A few years ago I shared this document briefly explaining how. If anyone didn’t see it and would like it sending over, please let me know. 😊

@LydiaMonks @frankcottrell_b @dc_litchfield Thank you for seeing us 🥰. Kids have changed and so have the staff. Big change in resilience of young learners but also a big shift in the openness of the mental health of kids, parents and staff. It’s a new job.

Little angry thread: I've just been round a lot of schools and seen hundreds of children. Lost my voice and my heart. Our children have seen everything change ...

@MrBamBoo_teach Put about 6 of them out with other loose parts like wee people, pegs, tubes, balls and see what your kid does…

Creative people of Twitter. I have 12 of these cardboard things - what can I do with them with a 3yo? I feel like they'd make something ace but I'm drawing a blank. They're about 20cm wide.

I was awake too early this morn, the stories I’ve been hearing circling uncomfortably around my head. What are they stories of? How our exhaustion & fear is leading us to damage young children. A THREAD on BEING BRAVE and SAYING NO.

@Laura_E_Foley @JeannaLStars @DinasaurusD The red part in the north is Scotland - not England

@JeannaLStars @DinasaurusD That country on the left there? Yeah. That's Ireland. Not England.

THE UK KEEPS THEIR WASHING MACHINES IN THIER KITCHENS AND THEY DONT HAVE LAUNDRY ROOMS?!?!

@MichaelRosenYes “Underground to Canada” by Barbara Smucker - I remember us all holding out breathe with awe and anticipation. It was the first time I learned about any other kind of life than my own.

What is the book at primary school (I'll do secondary later) that you most remember a teacher reading or sharing with the class or introducing you to? (Me: Emil and the Detectives, and Hue and Cry, the novelisation of the film (and, as it happens a kind of English Emil!)

@RachelJesson @ian_nutrition They are absolutely delicious, thank you so much!My wee boy is excited to try the sourdough for breakfast - what should we put on top 🤔❤️🙌

⁦@Ian_nutrition⁩ School closes this Friday so my 5 year old decided to bake ginger biscuits for his teacher. Great maths lesson as he weighed them out. Fabulous opportunity to discover biscuits don’t always come in a packet or box! Pincer grip developed along with kindness
