Today I had a fab day at school, making straw rollercoasters with the children of key workers π lots of problem solving and plenty of enthusiasm to get them working!
Just a cardboard box, straws and tape π (& a ball, but could make one!)

I find it really ironic that NASUWT sent me an email about overworked teachers, on βWork Your Proper Hours Dayβ, at 6.13pm on a Friday night!! π€―π€¦πΌββοΈ
@TeachingYear6 SayHi, itβs incredible! I have 80% EAL and use it all the time!! Works both ways too (English-other, other-English) and reads it aloud and has it written in text.
All the text you translate saves so you can replay multiple times if needed! π
There are some books that all children should get to experience during their time at primary school. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo is one of them.
@DHLParcelUK I have tried messaging you about a problem with the delivery of my parcel. Please can someone respond as itβs now 3 days with failed delivery and itβs getting very frustrating.
@sarajcox On my wedding day, part way through the ceremony the officiant called me the wrong name!! Cue strange looks from my husband and βwhoβs Amanda?β ππ
Later on, during the speeches, we toasted to Amanda π€£π€¦πΌββοΈ
@Truthfairy74 @KKNTeachLearn Same!! Everything always takes longer at the beginning of the year, but it feels like the most basic of things just arenβt being done.
@MrsBezoari We use SayHi. Itβs brilliant! Can either type or speak into it and will speak back and type in the other language. Then the child can speak in their own language and will change back to English π
@CassHT We had βthe callβ this week, so definitely been surviving ππ€¦πΌββοΈ but definitely feeling relief now itβs over π back to thriving next week!
@Miss_Gprimary_ My work laptop broke today, wonβt switch on π€·πΌββοΈ Iβm taking that as a sign that I donβt need to do them this weekend π
@sequinelephant@RetirementTales Me too!! The evil character gave me nightmares, I used to pretend to need the toilet so I didnβt have to watch it all ππ
Primaries intending on using older iPad stock for the Multiplications Tables Check a week from now - iOS13 required as of Monday just gone. Youβve got a weekβ¦ during which youβre PROBABLY closed around βere β¦to find an alternative. π
@Mr_AlmondED@GOVUK We found this during the practise this week. None of the iPads in my class workedβ¦thankfully we have others to choose from, but not every school may be so lucky!
