Mrs Foyle

Primary School Teacher, based in Wiltshire. Genuinely obsessed with all things words and stories. 📚

Surely I’m not the only teacher who feels guilty and sorry for the kids at the end of a school day. Sorry for the students who’s needs aren’t being met due to funding, support, resources, but also the quiet student.

In June, my brother took his own life. Since then, we have been beyond broken.
Today, my incredible husband and some of my brother’s closest friends ran 25km to raise money for Mind. https://t.co/uR8cnhCj9G
There’s still time to donate 🤍

@primarypercival Ah there’s nothing better! I’m always parading my 7 year old’s handwriting round as evidence for how good Kinetic Letters is!

What about if their behaviour breaks the hearts of other children, equally or more vulnerable? Empathy and sympathy are what make us human, but that must extend to every child in our care. In order to maximise the safety and dignity of all, students who abuse others need to experience boundaries and consequences, as well as, but not only, understanding and care.

My eldest has joined a football team (and his dad is the coach!). Watching 6 year olds play football is genuinely one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in MY LIFE

@_MissieBee @akelahall @Joetoddstanton Me too! But Perseus and the Gorgon’s head to your question! 🐍

[Mrs Foyle @Mrs_Foyle]

@LukeEducation22 Yes! I’m obsessed with him!

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

This is largely excruciating nonsense. Children need calm, safe environments where the expectations are clear, scaffolded, and taught; where boundaries are upheld and consequences happen when they are breached-with support when required. Treating misbehaviour as a pathology, or children as China dolls, actually makes them less safe, more vulnerable.

Doing a home project with my 4 year old and he loved sounding out and writing ‘man’ on policeman and postman! @SWLiteracy @KineticLetters

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Not all behaviour communicates something relevant, mysterious, or complex.

Amazing appointment, hurrayyyy 🎉🎉🎉

[Andrew Percival @primarypercival]

Very pleased to be part of Ofsted's external reference group for curriculum, teaching and assessment. I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences as a primary deputy head to help shape policy and practice.

@missgeog92 Estée Lauder double wear, every time! Expensive but lasts agesssss!

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Telling a child that their actions have consequences, and then ensuring those consequences happen, is *exactly* how you teach someone to trust you. Because you meant what you said.

Never holding a child accountable for their actions, never challenging, never penalising them, is how you teach them that you, and other people are inconsequential, and they are untouchable. Which is a terrible lesson to teach, and one that bears bitter fruit in adulthood.

[Mrs Foyle @Mrs_Foyle]

I don’t expect any presents at all as a teacher. I’m so grateful for anything. However, my absolute FAVES are the trinkets kids make. I got asked what my favourite colour was and a boy in Y5 made me this. I adore it ❣️

Can’t wait to read allllllll summer 📖

[Ramsbury English Hub @ramsburyenghub]
