New post Can you be a good teacher if you don’t have kids? birminghamteacher.wordpress.com/2024/06/15/can…

@SamTallintire @londonteacher_ @c0mplexnumber I second this. Also there are some lovely things you can do with spirals (building towards the Fibonacci sequence) lancashire.gov.uk/secondary-supp…

@londonteacher_ @c0mplexnumber does some amazing courses that teach skills you can then use with students

What maths/art cross curricular lessons have you taught/seen being taught and really liked!? ☺️

@kerryhewitt85 Can’t wait to be able to see it again! 🥰

@joysheekey 😱🤗

@Headteacherchat We’re just in the process of writing a new partnership agreement which will be shared with parents and children at our whole school home visits in September.

Are there still any schools that still have home-school agreements?

@MichaelT1979 @_MissieBee Agreed. Also the percentages of SEN which can vary hugely school-to-school (even 2 schools down the road from each other) with no account taken in league tables. So many things which mean that league tables make no actual sense.

Nearly half of primary schools doing SATs “boosters”? How does this make it an even playing field?!😭 Would also be interesting to see if those who attend “boosters” perform better at the start of y7 too or whether it’s only good for “cramming” (think I could predict the answer)

@rahmaduk Yes. Thank you. Really informative. Got a much better idea of expectations and the workings of the programme now. Thanks Riz.

#OurNCEJourney Making a start on the Level 7 Senior Leadership Programme. It’s been highly recommended to me from lots of different sources so I’m excited to get started.

We keep saying "Never Again." One day, perhaps the world will actually mean it... Candles & prayers for ALL innocent souls killed for their faith, creed & race... And all still being harmed for those very same reasons... #HolocaustMemorialDay #OneGod #ceasefireEVERYWHERE

@MissC_1717 Verona, Seville, Malaga, Porto

Which cities are you able to ‘do’ in a weekend? (Flights Friday eve & Sunday eve?) I have Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris 👀

@OnjaliRauf @NickAhad @mons_about @Rosetheatre @PFDAgents @o_refugee @TeleTheatre @guardian @HachetteKids @RefugeeWeek @emmacherny @Mrs_Hill_teach This will be beautiful! What a shame it isn’t coming closer to South East London. I don’t think we’ll be able to trek our kids to either Kingston or Canterbury.

Well, the news is out...🤗 #TheBoyAtTheBackOfTheClass is becoming a play... Adapted by @NickAhad, directed by @mons_about, & launching @Rosetheatre next month before its tour... Surreal. As is every word of this beautiful article by Nick...🎒 theguardian.com/stage/2024/jan…

@JCSTheMusical Is the tour still coming to Dartford in July? Can see it on the tour website but can’t seem to book tickets.

🇬🇧 These disciples sure know how to turn a party! 🤘🎉#JCSUKTour

@gatortiff @MaritimeMAT @PLMRLtd Congratulations Tiffany! What an achievement! 👏

Completely blown away receiving an OBE-thank you dear friends & colleagues across the sector, @MaritimeMAT & @PLMRltd who’ve taught me so much about what makes schools so special & why it’s so important we are not just trying to do things better, but actually doing better things.

@londonteacher_ So far I’ve got: 🎟️ Mrs Doubtfire (school trip) 🎟️ Everybody’s talking about Jamie 🎟️The King and I 🎟️Les Mis 🎟️Starlight Express

Shows I’ve booked to see next year! ✨guys and dolls ✨everybody’s talking about Jamie ✨hamilton ✨come from away (tour) ✨mean girls ✨Shrek the musical ✨pretty woman (tour) It’s shaping up well already 🥰

So proud of my wonderful school. ❤️🎄

@londonteacher_ That’s what makes trips out so worthwhile!

@joysheekey For sure! Oh that’s lovely. Mine were thoroughly impressed by the mummies, lots of “SO THEY’RE REAL????” 😂😂😂

Trip day and moderation after school… the day after two parents evenings… I did not plan this well but I am very excited for my bed tonight! 😅

@londonteacher_ Oh bless you. It’s so hard to go out in the evening midweek and still have the energy needed for a day’s teaching (never mind a school trip after parents evenings!). We loved the snowman - it was really cute and lovely to see the children’s faces light up.

@joysheekey Oh hi!!! That’s so cute. Did you have fun? We’d spent the day at the British Museum. I was very tired and grumpy by the time I saw you 😂 but you perked me up for the journey back to school! 🫶🏻

@londonteacher_ Sending love ❤️

We’re saying goodbye to Izzy tomorrow. My heart is shattered 💔💔💔 but SO grateful I get to be there. If you see me crying on my way back to Bournemouth tonight, you can’t see me x
