@Teacherglitter Wonderful! You’ve achieved so much! And helped your students achieve AND enjoy. Lovely to see ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@Gemmabaggies Oh I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 Thinking of you and your son.

@morvale83 @MissKhan__ It’s just their perception of the line space. They don’t know how to use the space when there’s no line above! A bit of explicit explanation, drawing attention to it and modelling will soon sort it out ✍🏼🙂

Very impressive knowledge! It’s not easy remembering terminology!

@SocialSoup Moving out of your comfort zone and growing :) Uncomfortable but to be expected. You have so many things to think about.

Today I put things I need/want to do on post-it notes. That’s helped me view them and decide on priorities. I can pick one action at a time to work on now.

Maths teachers,

What type of paper do your students generally work on and why?

Does it vary by year group?

Plain, lined, squared... a mixture?

@drlucykelly Get into the habit of noticing how you are spending your time. One day a week jot it down as specifically as possible. It’s a great way to keep your brain alert to how precious time is and then reflect on priorities and balance.

Lovely to spend the day with (and presenting to) Wiltshire Literacy Leaders this week, looking at how students who feel good about their handwriting and develop an automated joined style have more working memory capacity to focus on the content of their work.
