@sazzlewood @EyesShutTeacher Love these! St Clare's was my favourite

@Headteacherchat I transitioned to the classroom and now love teaching again. It was gut instinct for me and the right school to be in the classroom.

@ICT_MrP Writing out worksheets on that paper that went through the banda machine!

@LeeBraganza I'm starting year 25 and completed the full set from EYFS to Year 6 as class teacher a few years ago. It really helps to understand the progression right through primary. I didn't get a certificate!

@branwenjeffreys Still teaching after 25 years. I've now trained as a coach and mentor to try and help retain staff at my school. Everyone has a different story and a different reason for leaving.

@branwenjeffreys @bphillipsonMP We provide breakfast for all children who qualify for FSM. It also gives a more gradual start to the day and free childcare for the parents who work at that time of day. I'm not sure how this would work for all pupils.

@MrAllington I was appointed as a Head aged 30. By 36 I was back in the classroom. 11 years on I have not looked back. It was right for me and the school at the time but circumstances change.

Today, children at my school heard our new, donated piano being played. They sat and listened to me playing instead of walking out as normal! That's the power of music in schools.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@teachwellall We tried this in a previous school and it did make a difference.

@thosethatcan Starting in Sept...chosen accommodation that is just covered by loan, will have to get a job in holidays and term time, currently keeping everything crossed that it works!

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@Johnfinney8 Choristership gives experience of group musicianship and the discipline of rehearsal, procession, sight reading... it is often part of a broader musical experience. The repertoire is growing but doesn't cover a very diverse range of musical traditions.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@MrMetacognition I use mine all the time, to model good presentation, writing, share texts...

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@mrlockyer Bus tour round the city is good to see everything. Tour of Murrayfield was fantastic and a bargain!

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@thatteacherguy_ Some private schools have planned for this as it's been policy for a while. They are not going to pass the full cost on to parents to make sure they can stay open.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@fidsta77 Brave decision! Good luck with whatever you are doing next.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@fidsta77 My son didn't finish until nearly 7pm today. So hard for the kids doing that combination of subjects.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@shadylady222 I moved schools after 23 years of teaching and it was hard to find a new post. I know I'm OK where I am but wouldn't be able to move. It's really tough if you need to move.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

Figurative expanded noun phrase...Is this a real thing or invented by publishers?? Seems ridiculous for Year 3.

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@RachelOrr We enjoyed a tour of Murrayfield during a recent short break there and the music museum is fascinating!

[musicteacher @MsNTeach]

@DrFautley We have managed to avoid this. I've made it clear that expectations in other subjects wouldn't work in music.
