@oldenoughtosay I will accept nothing less in my future houses

The aurora borealis that everyone in the UK enjoyed last night and me...

My advice for any parent of a Y6 who wants to help their child prepare for SATs this weekend: Go for a walk with them. Paint with them. Bake with them. Send them out with their friends. Read a silly book together. Watch a funny film. You can't do 4 years of work in 2 days.

@MrBoothY6 @eenalol Jamie by LD Lapinski? Tackles the transition to Secondary school from a different perspective

Almost certainly going to fit another class novel in before the end of the year with my lovely, book obsessed Year 6. A lovely position to find myself in, but good lord is it hard to choose.

I urge anyone involved in church of any description to watch this. It speaks not only to the abuse at Soul Survivor, but also to the patterns of abuse many of us have experienced in conservative evangelical settings. 1/3 youtu.be/YVZkgdt32u8?si…

I just got lost in a list of ‘better names for real things’ I think ‘ouch mouse’ for a hedgehog was my favourite. Or prison donkey for a zebra.

@MissEmilyK_ Strangeworlds travel agency by @ldlapinski - currently reading it with my year 4s and they're loving it!!

@itseliad Okay but is the singing in morse code too

finding niche music is a hobby for me my recent discovery? Erased Tapes A project you’d struggle to find under normal circumstances seeing as all the song titles and the project itself is titled under / written in morse code

@MrEFinch I'd have more time for children to explore and develop natural curiosity (in a similar way to EYFS) continuing on into KS1 and KS2 with a greater focus on play! Think I'd also have four day weeks and each day be just an hour longer and have three day weekends to combat fatigue

Say you were starting from fresh - there'd never been schools before and you were in charge of setting them up. Would you make your schools more or less like what we have now, a bit different or completely different? What would be the same? What would be different?

@MGLnrd Our school library is beautiful, and our library session is what the children in my class look forward to every week!

TEACHERS & SCHOOL LIBRARIANS! I’ve sorted my international editions & have 5 book bundles of over 15 of my books & audiobooks that I’d like to donate to STATE SCHOOL libraries. To enter, comment a lovely thing about libraries before April 3rd & you could win 1 of these. RETWEET!

Happy Holi to all our followers celebrating today! 💚💙🧡❤️💜 Watch our video featuring some common words and phrases used during the Hindu festival, all in British Sign Language (BSL). Let’s make sure everyone can join in the festivities, no matter how they communicate.

Children's Mental Health Week 2024 starts today. 🧵 The theme of this year's Children's Mental Health Week is 'My Voice Matters'. At stormbreak, we believe in reducing the stigma around mental health and supporting children to develop healthy coping strategies for life. (1/)

@londonteacher_ We've been using sign in my yr4 TT intervention group! We have a deaf child in my class so they know a little bit anyway, but it's helping them massively!

No one believes me when I say BSL helps times tables but seriously, I had 3 children in an intervention with me trying to pass their 4x tables tests. They were consistently scoring around 20/40. I showed them how to sign it and two days later they all scored 40/40 in their tests.

Whole school got in this morning, took the register, binned off maths, got our coats and gloves etc on and every child and every staff member got out on the yard to play in the snow for half an hour. Exactly the way it should have been.

@missmasonedu Hi from Chichester, UK!

Hi everyone! I am trying to show my Year 5s how far a message can travel on the Internet. Can you please help by sharing this and commenting where in the world you are reading it from? Thanks 🩷

@MathewsAnnika Praying for you ❤️

@sophoftheyear I haven't but I think @EmptyMin might have done... Not sure though 😆😉

Is it just me or has everyone met the King in the last month?
