HUGE thank you to the operators @MCRMetrolink - waving at my nephew seeing *real* trams for the first time - especially the driver we sat behind yesterday, giving thumbs up when he could hear Teddy guessing what the different controls did. You made this little boy's weekend!

Reading @BooksandChokers on the bus into town. Passed the coffee shop I've wanted to try but haven't since I'm not cool enough and don't know the rules. Went in, cause its what Keeds would do. Even took a sofa seat. Pistachio croissant is fiiiiiiiine 😁 #BooksMatter

@grahamandre @PrimaryRocks1 @MissNCleveland Really useful site, thanks!

@PrimaryRocks1 @MissNCleveland Whole website about it here Gaz #PrimaryRocks lexile.com/parents-studen…

#PrimaryRocks Question 2

@FannyIngabout @Jan__G @teachwellall @brassoteach Probably technically, but it's how it's always used/spelt 🤷‍♀️

@ms_hurst_ @Jan__G @teachwellall @brassoteach Off topic I guess, but isn’t that also cue? Que isn’t a word in English.

@Jan__G @teachwellall @brassoteach Yes, I do - blame my previous career as a Stage Manager; everything is a que for something else in that world!

@ms_hurst_ @teachwellall @brassoteach Think you mean cue

I've not been able to get this out of my head all week. This is why reading for pleasure is SO important - this chappie has found his gateway books and now there's no looking back! (Plus the idea of him and mum playing Dogman is adorable) #RfP #LoveReadingScrapbook

@brassoteach No decent free reading books! And less / no practical science lessons as I usually by resources myself. Lower quality of lesson input (eg no live modelling of writing on flip chart paper) ...

@Gwenelope In advance, and make sure they know what your cancellation policies are (eg no refund if less than 24 hours). Most people won't give you any hassle but you'll get the odd one who will make you thankful that you didn't give them an inch!

Another tutoring related Q, payment in advance of sessions, or after sessions have been done? Teacher Facebook falls on the side of advance payment. I have a customer and need to decide… pronto

My year 4s coming strong out of the gate for our #LoveReadingScrapbook this year, with this brilliant page all about #DavPilkey's #Dogman

@Misterbodd @Corinnestories Just started this and loving it so far. Funny, warm, but real

My wife (@Corinnestories ) is after a new adult book (ie not MG - not mills & boon...) She loved Maggie O'Farrell, Yellowface, Daphne Du Maurier, Girl Woman Other etc I have no idea about grown up books, so hit us with your recommendations....

So good to make some new teacher friends! 🩵🩷💛

@bex_renshaw Got my new one from sassyplanner.com and really pleased with it

I know it has been asked before but can't find thread. Starting new role as AHT in September and want a nice planner without spending £30-40. Have used Positive Teacher Company before but not sure if there are better ones out there? Advise needed

@MissB_Y6 Sounds good to me!

@ms_hurst_ Great! I’m thinking Thursday 24th August ☺️

Would any #Manchester teachers be up for a chilled social get together before going back to school? It would be lovely to meet some new teacher friends ☺️ #teachermeet #edutwitter

@kariebookish get not wanting to discard, but think it could be hard to get them super smooth with no raspyness or mis-shaping. I bent my legendary knitter nan's aluminium & plastic straight needles into bangles for her grandkids: you could buy a new pair and upcycle the old somehow?

@davelouca @MichaelT1979 Same. The 11+ is so different to what they might have encountered in schools. I don't tutor SATs - just try to reassure parents that they are to measure the school, not the child! I think families overestimate what they might be used for

@davelouca @MichaelT1979 I tutor as a side hussle, get lots of approaches for SATs. We do 11+ here too but the timings are different (11+ Sept, private school independant exams Jan/Feb), so most of the parents are very specific, I don't think you can conflate 11+/SATs tutoring demand as the same
