Classroom observation tells us very little about teaching , apart from as a snapshot of that moment on that day. We’ve moved away from observation as they are a pretty invalid way of judging what’s going on beyond the surface.

Teaching speech sandwiches today as part of our work on King Kong. Absolutely love doing this - such a simple way to break down the speech model and easily adaptable for children at different stages of writing.
@ComplainDe No thanks, my mum's been attacked for about 2 months by your company. I'd rather have an apology for her. I'm just posting here to warn other people about your poor customer service.
Hi @virginmedia please can you explain why you are threatening my recently widowed mum and trying to charge her £1000 for ending her deceased husband's internet contract? Surely, for an elderly customer, a decent company wouldn't charge a thing.

If you're a primary school teacher, I'd *really* recommend downloading the (free!) Ark Sentence Mastery Sequence. It's very thorough and very useful - helped me sequence and think through my relative clauses lessons far better than I otherwise would have.

Just finished rewriting the overview for a weekly picturebook assembly which focuses on empathy, inclusion and diversity. It's still a work in progress but please feel free to use and adapt. All shares appreciated. The link is on my Padlet: https://t.co/JBuWKFDAhP
