What a difference a week can make! Last week I was a one-to-one TA. This week I'm on supply in a Year 6 class until Christmas and I've accepted a position in a year 3/4 from January. Don't give up NQTs! Any advice for what I should be doing now? @MrTs_NQTs #edutwitter

@DaneBankPS @HelenCooperbook It was a soup-er afternoon! 😁

My class loved our subtraction lesson today, especially being able to draw on the tables 🤣

I've taken all the suggestions for Life Skills Of The Week and mapped out a few ideas for the whole school year. Then added some links where I could find them.

Here is the link to the document :-)

Love this idea of having a life skill of the week! What else could they learn?

[MissCooperPboro2 @MPboro2]

It's been a whole year since I made my box for the children to stand on. We used it when reading out work, or telling the class something. The children loved using it!

@newall_mr I'm also joining the year five club! Excited but not sure what to expect so far!

Having only started with my class in January I was worried about my relationship with them not being strong enough. After nearly 2 weeks of teaching in person I recieved the blue note at lunchtime and the black note at home time with my treat. Think I'm doing ok! #TinyVoiceTalks

Could I get some recommendations for books for my 3/4 class? Our next topic called "Urban Pioneers" so a mix of fiction and non-fiction books about cities would be great!

[Grace Denton @Grace_Cliffe]

@edwardpwatkins I do this with all of my resources! Then for extra brownie points you can save it as a pdf so nothing moves around

After a day of sorting out online learning my mum's partner came in and gave me their label maker because 'they thought it would be something I would enjoy'. They are absolutely correct. So, if you don't mind me, I am going to be labelling everything I own now. #edutwitter

What a day to start my NQT year. #edutwitter #lockdown

[Grace Denton @Grace_Cliffe]

@jon00uk Thank you! I hope you have a good first day back too.

[Grace Denton @Grace_Cliffe]

I feel so overwhelmed today. I always knew it was going to be difficult to start in January with a new class as an NQT. But the way the government are flip flopping around gives the feeling of deja vu from March last year when my PGCE placement was cut short! #edutwitter

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.

@helrow__ Go for it 😂😂 I can give you my top tips on how to prance around the classroom to help them remember the what to do!

[Grace Denton @Grace_Cliffe]

This is why I teach!! I've planned out a talent show performance, organised an exciting science day and all sorts of other winter craft activities, but this year 6 wrote me a beautiful letter to thank me for helping them understand fractions. I'm really going to miss this class!

@MissChapp20 @MrMJEllis @MenTeachPrimary @MrWithers2020 @mrRteaching @curious_maths @OakMATrust @PrimaryRocks1 Thank you! 💞

[Grace Denton @Grace_Cliffe]

@HineJacquie Thank you! It's been a tricky but incredibly rewarding week.

[Grace Denton @Grace_Cliffe]

@teachnqt Congratulations! I hope you have an amazing time. I'm so looking forward to having a class of my own.
