So my wife doesn’t believe me that primary children return their school jumpers to each other by smelling them. This is a thing… isn’t it!!?? Please RT. 👃
2nd remote parents’ eve today & between calls I managed to find a quite spot to lay amongst the dictionaries in my book corner. I’m now wondering why I haven’t utilised this space more when having a midweek crisis. I think I’ll spend some more time here in the future. #edutwitter
👏👏👏 I literally cannot agree with this point enough! I actually hate it when books are matched with topics. Kids will not learn to love books this way. Pick books you love & that are magical stories, not books that stretch to fit a theme & aren’t even that high quality.
Don't choose a class book just because it fits nicely alongside a current topic or unit of work. Choose a class book because it's a great book and will make the children laugh, cry, think and care.
Our sentence stacking wall is almost completed after starting The Write Stuff by @janeconsidine a few weeks ago. Yr6 did a recount using Letters from the Lighthouse & really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to do a non-fiction unit after Easter. #thewritestuff#lettersfromthelighthouse
After a hilarious WBD school assembly via zoom with @ComedyCampbell in which I almost spit out my tea due to excessive belly-laughing in front of a class of Yr6 children, I couldn’t resist buying the ‘funny life of’ set for my classroom next week. #bellylaughing#BackToSchool
All schoolchildren will return to the classroom on March 8 under plans to start lifting the lockdown, Boris Johnson will announce in a national address next week. https://t.co/EpJBYl1KEq
