It was my turn at work to do Thought For The Day and normally I think of my own but today I just read out every word of this banger of a blog from @tstarkey1212

@K2SR7 I would love to have a copy of your great work. Is this aimed for KS4?

What a powerful performance! @MrCaseyBailey I was blown away by this story, that was told with such intensity and grace. To see it at the National Trust was the perfect platform for your message 👏

As a conscientious 12 year old, my confidence for speaking in class was diminished when a teacher shouted at me when I corrected her for mispronouncing my name, stating it was how ‘she pronounced it’. Her ignorance has helped me be transparent, asking students first and repeating

@Miss_GJohnston I’ve never raised a complaint or query with AQA before. Is the best route through our examination officers as a query or observation of the paper, rather than a complaint?

[Mrs Anneka Thorpe @MrsAnnekaThorpe]

@FunkyPedagogy Most past papers have been Q1 and 3 source A. November 2022 was Q1 source A and Q3 source B, as an anomaly. Cannot guarantee which source the question will focus on.

If you have the opportunity to see this before 30th March - go! What a superb production. I was taken back to my uni days of surrealism and physical theatre. It was thoroughly captivating 🧚 Plus, the kids were enthralled, especially watching Matthew Baynton 👏 #amsnd #RSC

My day started in the best way; plus more notes throughout the day! A wonderful reminder of why we do it, but also tinged with sadness - I’m going to miss these incredibly thoughtful students 🥲 #ThankATeacherDay
