My favourite display in my classroom is this one. Every day I have someone asking what I’m reading, or what my favourite book has been or simply saying that they didn’t realise grown-ups read for fun! Book talk is soooo important!

Why we do what we do 💕 One of my fantastic Y6 writers brought me to tears this morning. @kmlarwood & @EarlyTrain you both got a mention too!

The absolute heart break at getting a new phone and losing your @TeacherTapp streak 😭

Sending congratulations, remorse or a well-deserved g&t to all Y6 teachers today. A reminder:

@JenniferKillick My class would love this 😂 they’re all loving the Dread Wood books at the moment!

Good morning, Twitter. I’m looking for a name for a teacher/historian in a new story. May turn out to be evil or at least super weird. If you’d like to offer your name for consideration, please let me know. (You know I like to have as many of you in my books as possible!) TY!

@kmlarwood My class are LOVING Gift of Dark Hollow as our class reader at the moment! I reckon we’ll read all of them by the end of the year! ✨📚✨

@hollieteach Podkin One-Ear by Keiran Larwood has gone down so well with my Y6s this year! Also, A Place Called Perfect by @Heldideas, Christmas Dinner of Souls by @mossmontmomery, Orphans of the Tide by @Struan_Murray are all firm favs in my class! ✨📚✨

Looking for some new class book recommendations for my book-lover Year 6’s! 📚 We have read Crater Lake, Harry Potter & TPS, The Final Year, Who Let The Gods Out and Holes. Looking for something new and exciting - hit me with your recommendations please! ✨

@RoseVAlexander @PrimaryCoHead Very interesting 🤨

@PrimaryCoHead @readwithMissB 🧐

Changes to KS2 Access Arrangements question 6 for additional time. I have a range of thoughts. On one hand, it seems like this change could make it easier to justify children getting additional time, however, how can this be applied consistently across schools?

And relax! Finally getting the chance to read this! ✨🎄

‘A haven for its pupils and families’ Feeling very proud of our ALP team today; two inspections in one week and we fully showed OFSTED what we’re all about. ✨🥂✨

Very rarely on here these day, mostly because it’s been a busy few months. But this makes it worth it…

@brassoteach Keep everything else as is but move a week of summer to may half term - better weather and cheaper holidays 🤷🏼‍♀️

@MissRosieGraham Yep! Always get everything printer - if plans change I’ll just be further ahead 😂 I’ll also never leave on an evening without having the next day all printed!

Does anyone print their resources out for the week? I’ve always thought this was unnecessary as things can change but I wondered how much time it saves people in the long run?

@RoseVAlexander @Suchmo83 @Kathy_Rastle @CClarkALP Oooh going to watch this tomorrow!

@Suchmo83 @Kathy_Rastle @readwithMissB @CClarkALP this could be an interesting one!

It was a privilege to interview the brilliant @Kathy_Rastle. This might well be my favourite episode ever. ⬇️

@missvlbishop Buy more books! Popular and lesser-known authors ✨📚✨

If you were to promote reading for pleasure across the school, what things would you do?

@RoseVAlexander This is so true - so much I want to do, so little time to do it in 😭

Absolutely this

@_MrLevick Is this for NPQLL? I’ve just tried to access the assessment and it’s not working - excellent start 😂

@RoseVAlexander @MrBoothY6 My class were asking me if our book corner could have some new ones today 😂

@MrBoothY6 @readwithMissB I miss being able to afford books 😫

I feel ever so slightly late to the hype, but this is a book so good I finished it and immediately ordered Year 6 a class set. It's absolutely and completely superb and I can't wait to read it with them.
