It's the summer holidays, which means that I have **two copies** of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply **retweet** this tweet for your chance to win a copy. I will pick two winners on Sunday 17th August. Good luck!

@Southgloshead ‘Dog in the Playground’ was a classic! It used to happen for real in the past which made it so well observed.

It was read to me by my Junior School HT in the 80’s. I still read it to my KS2 children now. Faux rage whilst reading ‘Scissors’ still gets a laugh. RIP Allan.

@Southgloshead Epic! True grit. Well done to you both. 👏👏👏

Chasing the sun from the far east to the far west. England in a day (all of it). Ridiculous heat led to a high DNF rate and we took 90 mins longer than expected. But the little adventure is complete.

@thewonder_stuff And what a noise it was! Soundtrack of my life. 🙏

@TPScheme Haven’t been able to see any benefit statement for a while. Just logged in and there’s nothing available in this section still.

Members affected by Transitional Protection and yet to retire can now view a ‘Benefit Statement - RSS’ on My Pension Online. Read more: ow.ly/vrsi50V9sZU

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply *retweet* this tweet for your chance to win. I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

Great Trust-Wide ‘Distinctly Primary’ INSET today for teachers, focusing on joyful primary education (the second of a 2 day course). Staff were free to choose something which interested them…

@HughesHaili @C_Hendrick Thanks for the reply - that’s really helpful. Look forward to the sessions.

@winterburn73 @C_Hendrick Hi Phil, yes we will endeavour to make it relevant to all phases

Why is retrieval practice such a powerful driver of learning? Sign up for a free webinar on how learning happens with me and @HughesHaili here: forms.office.com/Pages/Response…

@thewonder_stuff were on blistering form at the start of their tour celebrating 35 years of Hup. We threw our bodies around and held each other up like the years didn’t matter. Thanks to the band for even more great memories! @mileshuntTWS

@thewonder_stuff @VadaRecording Will be bouncing around in Bristol tomorrow night with friends and family. Stuffies gigs are the glue that bind us back together. Hope everyone enjoys the tour, band and fans alike.

@Southgloshead @jamesealmond A cleansing experience - youth is but a veneer removed by time and sobriety!

In support of @jamesealmond quest to see 50 gigs in his 50th year, @winterburn73 and I find ourselves listening to S Korean Dub…

@Southgloshead Amazing work! This will cure the January blues!

This makes an aging Grebo happy: a special tiny secret gig for Independent Venue Week. Tickets went live at 10am and were all sold out by 10:02 But I bagged two of them for @winterburn73 and I! 🎫 🎫🥳

@LoisHaydon @DowningAndy @HeadtPrimary Outcomes look fantastic, Lois! Sorry, I forgot to @ you in on the Leaf account tweet! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@DowningAndy @HeadtPrimary I had the joy of leading the printing workshop. It was fantastic!

Today was the launch of our Distinctly Primary Days where our teachers and support staff engaged in the joy of the primary curriculum. And what a joy it was! We are stronger together; The Leaf Trust

@Southgloshead @Headteacherchat @pdLouiseP @RealGeoffBarton @simonkidwell @TeacherTapp @chrisdysonHT @HappyHead74 @dave_mcpartlin @kateowbridge @Thinkingschool2 @smithsmm Fantastic blog, Simon. Shrewdly observed and strikingly honest. Headteachering is a job to adore, not to swerve or fear, and we need to saturate the profession with this message. Great work. 👏
