What a great experience and privilege it has been teaching P7/6 in Blackwood Primary about the Great War.

Yesterday we finished by completing our ration books and learning about the Christmas truce. The work created was incredible.

Keep it up P7/6.

When a young person is in a dysregulated state, this is not the time for reasoning & questions.What happened?Why did you do this?You should have known better? It is a neurological process of opening the higher areas of the brain for a discussion.
Regulate.
Relate.
Reason.🧠🌱

Some children with additional needs just need a little support. No child should be made the think they are stupid. 📚📖

Living with dyslexia it’s always something I’ve said “I make it and it doesn’t make me.” I can reach my goals just with extra barriers to get through. #Dyslexia #dyslexicweek

Great page to help us understand some good ways to support struggling readers across the board.

I've done a 1pg summary for staff of the Ofsted guidance for supporting struggling readers in sec schools, pub. 31/10/22. It's not completely comprehensive as I just took what I thought our staff might want/need to know, but it's here if any use to others. https://t.co/ToTTbALS6z

@LauraCurranBun Thanks, this is so useful!

With young people entering social media at a younger age more needs to be done to educate parents and pupils on the risks they have. Social media helps people create friendships but these aren’t always positive. Young people need our support. #socialmedia #StrathEDU

[Miss Higgins @Miss_Higgins4]

@Kyle_McD_11 So true society should do more to help young people understand this. Especially as the age of those using social media are getting younger. More needs to be done to create a better understanding for these young people.

[Miss Higgins @Miss_Higgins4]

@MissSmith_26 I would agree children and young people fee they need to live up to this unrealistic standard where in fact they themselves are good enough and perfect the way they are.

[Miss Higgins @Miss_Higgins4]

@mollycallagh It’s great that children are beginning to make the connection between real and fake new. Something should definitely be done to support this further.

[Miss Higgins @Miss_Higgins4]

@DrewBoothStrath Totally agree we can’t expect children growing up in front of technology to know it all we need support their for them. The support need to be open so they can talk whenever they need too. Very interesting how it effects the behaviour of children.

Why is it so easy these days for unwanted people to access our digital lives and our personal info to be exploited? Social Media companies should be doing more!!📱 #DigitalCultures #StrathBA #StrathEdu
