EYITT Course Leader & Senior Teaching Fellow at Warwick. Passionate advocate of the Early Years.

[Finham Park MAT @FinhamParkMAT]

Wonderful to see @MeadowParkCov students featured on @BBCNews this morning
Students have worked really hard and been supported by both staff & families
We are so proud of all students for everything they have achieved

Our first Year 11 at Meadow Park 👏

"‘We focus on making English exciting and engaging, through,
for example, creating interesting stimulus for writing.’
This can mean that other things, rather than what is intended to be learnt, are fixed in long-term memory."
Inspiring stuff, from Ofsted.

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

And @ofstednews is of view that "Teachers should be aware that motivation and love of a subject is predicated on success in that subject." Wow, again. Would be genuinely fascinated to see the evidence: studies showing that generally people who aren't successful aren't interested?

@Shabnamagram Hope you are enjoying your first day in role.

My brief stint away has given me some time to reflect. I've not been right for a long time, but it's easier to ignore & stick that mask on to appear strong. Strong for my wife, who struggles herself. Strong for my kids. Strong for my students. Strong to fool myself. /1

Is it acceptable to you that while 2 people own more wealth than the bottom 40% in this country, half our people live paycheck to paycheck, seniors are unable to hear or to see the world around them, and new moms are guaranteed ZERO paid days to spend with their baby?

[Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE @MineEYMind]

My online twilight event tells you all you need to know about the new self-regulation ELGs in the revised EYFS & your role in supporting this set of life-essential skills.

The children of EtonHouse Robertson Walk learnt about Japanese culture by celebrating Tanabata in school. They wrote their wishes on a piece of coloured paper and hung it on a bamboo tree, in hopes that their wishes will come true.

New parents in Sweden are guaranteed:
- 480 days of paid leave
- 80% of normal wages during that time

New parents in the U.S. are guaranteed:
- 0 days of paid leave
- $0 of your wages during any time off

How does that make sense in the richest country on earth?

Reception are learning all about Pirates this week! We read the book 'Ten Little Pirates' top begin our topic and the children were really engaged. They have lots of ideas of where they want to take their learning!

[kirsty weeks @KJWeeks1]

@MrLawEYFS Good Luck, they will be lucky to have you.

[WarwickCTE @WarwickCTE]

Looking forward to @WarwickCTE’s Research in Action conference tomorrow

We love the Bilton family from #Leamington. They've turned their street into an art gallery with a bit of a twist, see it for yourself. 👇🐵🦒.
