14 years @sedberghschool. During this time G has had 4 locations, 6 Heads and 4 Bandmasters! We are proud of the man he has become, a true Sedberghian. Thank you @Sedbergh_Prep@WinderHouse @SailingSedbergh @SedberghMusic
@thetrainline Thanks, had already made sure app was updated and turned phone off etc. husband has now bought me ticket on his phone, is there a way to transfer it to me? I will be printing ticket, but would like the live info on my trip?
@EmathsUK Too many questions. Too much work for a single mark so lots of effort will not be awarded. Useless information included to deliberately trip up the kids and make them doubt themselves. Diagrams not included on purpose. Unfair.
Today’s KS2 maths reasoning paper is a failure at a national level, one which will serve only to put pupils off maths.
There is nothing wrong with tough questions in maths. Mathematicians love the challenge of overcoming difficult problems.
But that’s not the same thing at all as questions that seek to confuse, mislead or hide meaning in meaningless, tiresome contexts.
Show a real mathematician a problem written by someone who is deliberately communicating badly or poking fun by being disingenuous and that mathematician will tell you to bugger off.
We’re in the business of grappling with and resolving genuinely interesting and important questions. We have no interest in silly, dull and ill conceived questions that lack meaning and intend to trip up.
So, an opportunity to show pupils what mathematics is and can be has been utterly wasted and instead we’ve just made it a lot less likely a nascent interest in becoming a mathematician will flourish for many, many pupils who will, quite rightly, reject the subject as tedious sleight of hand.
To those writing, signing off and publishing national exam papers: be better at your job or do something else.
@SarahFarrellKS2 Brilliant, had to put on our band chat, to complete 💯 number 10 just been solved, seeing as it's one our favourites to play, can't believe I never new the opening line!!
@eon_next @SmallSchool_KS2 Personally I would ask for your credit back. They don't like to do that. It took us 9 months of jumping through every hoop to get our credit from them. 🤞
On Thursday our DT students travelled to the NEC in Birmingham for the final of the Big Bang competition. They met some fantastic future STEM partners for school and competed against the best of the best - well done team! #teamsettlebeck#SmallSchoolBigOpportunities
@TicketmasterUK So my first experience of buying ticketsis not great. I have purchased as a gift and seem unable to give them to my son for his birthday. I am not attending the event. On ticket it says transfer not available, & no option to print. What do I do? Not impressed.
