@LC_Lionesses Great result!

The three points stay in London 🤩

We've kicked off against Liverpool ▶️ 𝗟𝗘𝗧'𝗦 𝗚𝗢, 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬! 🩵 Thread below ⤵️

I’ve seen a few videos from parents questioning sports day not being competitive and I want to give you a teacher’s perspective as to why competition in sport is important and should happen and how you can still make it inclusive and fun for everyone.

Everyone in schools should be aware that because teaching is an incredibly tough job to get right, teachers can easily drift into feelings of inadequacy despite doing an excellent job in relative terms. It can take an email, throw away comment, lack of appreciation, silly reg or unfounded judgement over something rather negligible to tip them over the edge. Key question - is whatever I’m about to do, say or ask really worth that risk of tipping a teacher out of the profession? Will it contribute to it? How necessary are the things we’ve normalised as necessary? How many ‘vital tasks’ are far from non negotiable? Just some thought points.

@TeachersRunClub @Strava Didn’t quite get the medal in ..🤦🏼‍♀️ Kingston Break-fest 8 mile. Weather was definitely on my side

Another big numbers week on the #TeachersRunClub @Strava with 14,920 miles covered across the 7 days from 2970 activities! Have another great week TRC! If it’s medal Monday for you, share your photos 👇 #EduChat #TeachersWhoRun

@ICT_MrP It’s only when you hear it out loud, you realise how many times you say ‘errr…’ and then pause, using eye gestures 🤦🏼‍♀️

Teachers 99% of the time…

@HTMISTERK I really wish I’d seen this last night ….. I did not appreciate the 06:24 wake up this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️

Public service announcement (mostly for school staff) Turn off your alarm 😀 Unless you have kids in which case you probably don’t need it anyways

@historytastic @MrShivas @TeachersRunClub @UKRunChat I also have this and don’t notice it at all when running

@MrShivas @TeachersRunClub @UKRunChat I have this and find it comfy.

Hey @UKRunChat and @TeachersRunClub 👋🏼 I’m looking for recommendations from female runners for a chest torch - my wife is keen to get one (she isn’t a fan of my head torch) and is keen to hear recommendation from women who use one (as some don’t look super comfy to female figure)

@ICT_MrP Completely agree. Of course, the children need to listen …. and act on it. But that’s a different challenge….. 🤦🏼‍♀️

One of the most pointless things in a primary school. Just another example of the obsession with accountability that plagues the teaching profession and shows the complete and utter lack of trust

@TheGNShow I’ve got tickets to a ‘live orchestra’ showing at Hammersmith - can’t wait. One of the best Christmas movies.

Who else watches The Holiday every year? Certified cosy Christmas classic 🎄 #TheGNShow

Brilliant.

Just a reminder about some exceptional mysteries set at sea for 8+ readers which have been out for a while rather than a particular book which is out today & has an uncanny resemblance to another book’s cover… 📚 #BookTwitter @redbreastedbird @LindsayGalvin

@HeyMissSmith I get that we, the mentors, need to be kept up to date with changes. But it means an additional burden to our workload, which already increases by having a student teacher. Less inclined to take one next year if I have to repeat the 17 hours ….

The primary curriculum is too big. Simple as that. If we want to develop creative and curious minds, if we want to develop oracy, if we want to develop empathy skills, time is what is needed. We need to be able to lose ‘the fear’ that you’re ’behind’ in what you need to teach.

@Raworthontherun This time last year - you inspired me. Completed it today. Plenty of work to do on time, but furthest distance I’ve ever attempted. Thank you.

Love the Cabbage Patch 10 miler 🙌 #cabbagepatch10

@TeachersRunClub Decided not to just sit and watch the rain - although very tempted

Some weekend are made for relaxing under the covers And from were I am sitting right now, this weekend definitely looks like one of those weekends 🌧️ But what if this time you didn’t stay under the covers, & this time you did that run in the rain? youtu.be/xf4eJgwrUyA?si…

@HalilMrT4Real Just completed the Kingston 10k. Slower than I’d have liked, but completed. Now marking those independent writes……

Mooorrrrnnnning 😁 it's #EduSundayFunday....all are welcome as always this is not just for edu people! A place to share what we are doing to keep the Sunday Scaries at bay. Let's inspire each other.... Me: 1) Short Run 🏃 2) off to the cinema! 📽️ 3) grab something nice to eat 😋 not sure what yet!! What about you lot?

@RedRosesRugby @EnglandRugby Had a great day watching it in the stadium! And youngest got to meet @katymc10 and her medal

On a day like today in 2014... 😮‍💨🌹

@lifeatthenest The handmade painted coaster, and the ‘four candles’ #ifyouknowyouknow have been some of my best over the last 9 years. Recently found a notebook with a personal message on the inside front cover …. Made me cry all over again!

🧵 The should teachers get presents/give presents annual debate has started. Here’s my two pennies worth. I never want anyone to buy me a present but it’s nice when they do. A card or letter with heartfelt words are lovely and I keep them. The clubbing together thing is …
