Updating my pinned resources thread for the new academic year.
1. Little and often display

So after the inspiration from @brassoteach and others, I've prettied up my little and often display. The children suggested these things to start with and seem quite enthusiastic about practising them.

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@adamboxer1 Claude, Rabbit and Bear, Diary of a killer cat, Jill Tomlinson’s animal books (inc The owl who was afraid of the dark), Jack Stalwart, and Stink (Judy Moody’s younger brother) all worth looking into in addition to those that have already been recommended.

@Sally_writes @johnnygg23 Yes definitely ticket machines - usually just outside the station entrance (car park side rather than platform).

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@ClrBlwrs @Sally_writes Yes you can book online or on an app like Trainline. Sometimes you then get e-tickets as an email or on the app, but sometimes you have to print them at the ticket machine. Not sure why 🤷‍♀️

@SmallSchool_KS2 @etaknipsa @the_VHT Exactly, don’t go beyond the NC content unless there’s a very good reason to. Look at how long is needed to teach the objectives and allocate that amount of time.

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@MrBoothY6 There’s The Eighteenth Emergency - I didn’t suggest it before because the father works away so the main character misses him, but there’s no actual death so might be worth a look.

Feeling really proud today. My new project completed with the AMAZING team at @HRP_palaces is live and focused on KS1 significant individuals! Even better, it is totally free access!

@hollieteaches There’s a list of short class novels on my Google Drive here https://t.co/0eDtF0ddGf

If you want to learn more about this - and how to make every aspect of reading instruction work in practice - you might be interested in my new book, Primary Reading Simplified.

Never on here these days, so doubt this will be seen, but I'm doing the Barnes Kids Lit School programme this year. 4th of June. Free to attend, schools just need to sign up via the Barnes Kids Lit website.

It's for Y5 & Y6 and completely free of charge.

RTs appreciated!

@PaulWat5 @Misterbodd Depends where you live I guess.

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@ZoeParamour I don’t want these parcels to be here.

Oh look, they’re all on the floor!

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@CassHT In fact you could probably read both in a term as both quite short.

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@CassHT Room 13 or Cloud Busting.

[Victoria @MrsSTeaches]

@Misterbodd Correct result - did you watch it?

[Christopher Such @Suchmo83]

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday (27th January).

Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it.

The second of my whole staff webinars is taking place in March! It focuses on how we teach chronology and why I advocate for this way based on research and classroom experience.

If you'd like a quote, drop me a message or comment with how many classes you have per year group!

@nkl_17 @shadylady222 Agree with tonic water, that usually stops it quickly for me. Also trying not to get too cold, tired or dehydrated.
