I have an amazing book to #giveaway! Actually I have 2. 🎉🎉 1 to a subscriber of The Ditty Bag (link👇🏽) and one to a NOMINATED SCHOOL. Name your chosen school in the comments and I'll spin some numbers on Wednesday. PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE. 🌌 🌍🌠 📚 🙏🏽

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!

I did it 🥳 🙌 the hardest but most rewarding year so far! QTS and PGCE whilst teaching full time was a lot but I did it. I’ve had the best year and thoroughly looking forward to seeing what the future holds 🤩🤩🤩

Since the DfE's new writing framework seriously downplays the importance of emergent writing, I'm giving away a free copy of my book on mark making because it 100% *does* matter! ☺️ Like and retweet to enter. Winner announced next Thursday. #EYFS #giveaway #freebie

I had the most fun today 🤣🤣 unfortunately they found their water pistols pretty quick!! I hope they sleep well tonight! I certainly will 🤣🫠

My thank a teacher cards 🤩🤩 it was such a lovely idea with every member of staff receiving cards from the children (they got to choose who to send a card to )

Took children on a trip yesterday and came back to this note on my computer. This person has started something now haha! Hit me with your best quotes so I can leave one for someone today please 🙏

I can’t wait until the class see this tomorrow 🤩 They did it 💫 amazing persuasive letters convincing our sad and unappreciated pens to return! Instantly regretted the pen quiting decision when I realised how much sharpening we had to do 😂😂 Summer 2 we’re coming for you 🌈 ✏️

Feeling lighter this morning after completing (and passing🙌) my final PGCE assignment. I have throughly enjoyed the year so far and am now looking forward to embracing and enjoying (with half the work load) the last 7 weeks of my first teaching year. Here’s to summer 2 🥰 ☀️

I appear to have completely gone left field in my PGCE assignments. Research project on Pathological Demand Avoidance ✅ Presentation on premature birth awareness (finalising details). Endless rabbit holes later and I’m fascinated by both topics. Sleep is overrated anyway 🤣

So lucky to have been able to take the class to see the Bluebells. Visiting the woods links beautifully to our topic ‘Farming and our local area’ thank you @Gillybean1961 for allowing us to visit your beautiful land! Looking forward to more farm trips 🤩

Saw this this morning and nothing has resonated with me quite so much this year. So it is worth a repost for others incase you needed to be reassured. Sometimes the children need to know they are loved and wanted before they are ready to learn. Have a good day everyone 💫

I'm doing a #giveaway of my latest book to celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend! *Like and retweet to enter.* Winner announced Monday evening. See below for some links to buy it! @BloomsburyEd #free #freebie

If you want to make something as amazing as this get yourself booked onto @nestt_ITT (Although hopefully you’ll manage to protect your egg 🤣). It’s crazy we are in the summer term already. I have thoroughly enjoyed my training. Make a call and take the plunge. It’sworth it!

They have now taken the plants home and a few have asked if they can bring their unicorns to school when they are grown 💫 I’m hoping they aren’t too disappointed when they realise they are runner beans 🫠

Another book review is in. This was a lovely book and the children loved growing their own unicorn plants too! I love how seriously the children took this book review. They had a long discussion about the possibility of extra characters! #reading #ks1 #mixedyeargroup #year1/2
