Just had a call from a previous school where I was unsuccessful at interview and another job has opened up.... AND IT'S MINE!! ๐คฉ Bring on NQT year in a gorgeous year 1/2 class ๐ฅฐ #edutwitter#NQT
If I was in charge, I'd declare this A YEAR OF READING FOR PLEASURE. Forget about tests & exams. Let kids discover the joy of reading for the fun of it, losing yourself in the infinite worlds of the imagination. Once you read for pleasure, everything else will follow! #literacy
First day teaching live today, few helpful pointers I've picked up working on Teams:
1) all pupils muted, hands up function if want to speak, then I unmute
2) worksheets on assignments to complete during the lesson (set to pupils edit own copy)
3) use forms as starter quiz

Working in a school in a very deprived area (top 10% poverty in the country) means presents arent really a thing for our teachers, but a child drew me a picture and it was honestly 1000x better than any present ๐ข
Sat in my 2nd week isolation having tested positive whilst following every rule and feeling infuriated at the amount of people who couldn't care less on social media, having parties and meeting with mates, no subtlety or shame ๐ญ
@MissMClegg@MrTs_NQTs On ebay you can bulk buy magical style keys like the kind in alice in wonderland, I would use that as a creative writing stimulus, where does your key unlock? What is through the door that your key unlocks?
