Just trying to do the best for the class of children I teach.

[Primary Joe @Primary_Joe]

Has anyone used the Grammarsaurus Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar units? I’m thinking of purchasing but would love to hear from someone who uses it!

Looking for #Audible book recommendations for Year 3 children.

I’m cancelling my audible subscription but have 6 credits to use before I do.

Need to spend them this weekend before I get charged again!

Please help! Thanks in advance!

@GMB Yet again the dept for education making things up without any clue of the logistics of how a school works because, other than guided tours for the cameras, most of them have never been to a primary school since they left age 11.

[Primary Joe @Primary_Joe]

@GMB This is two separate questions.

‘Should teachers teach children how to brush their teeth?

We do in HRE lessons.

‘Should teaching staff supervise children brushing their teeth daily?’

Absolutely not. 1 classroom sink, 35 children, 2 minutes per child. Won’t work.

[Primary Joe @Primary_Joe]

The answer is yes, what’s the point in even discussing it when it will make zero difference. Until things fundamentally change at the top, the profession will continue to decline.

@SlatteryMr This was me. I decided to bin all my socks that I couldn’t pair or were wearing thin continuously for 3-4 months as I wore them.

Now I only have three types of socks.

All black socks from Next.

White Sports socks (yet to diversify to one brand)

Ankle socks.

So much easier

@_MrLevick @BenisonMrs Do they need to know that?

When would anyone ever actually need to know that?

I’m 32, taught for 11 years and other than in school I’ve never, ever needed to know that.

@MardyMariner98 @HeyMissSmith I have only used it on a recent NPQ I’ve enrolled on. There does seem a lot of tasks but I think that is the course rather than the software. Before this I wasn’t aware of the software so can’t comment further.

[Primary Joe @Primary_Joe]

@MardyMariner98 @HeyMissSmith To be honest I’ve only just begun using it but I have found it to be excellent so far. I’ve not experienced any of these keep going or emojis. Maybe it depends what course you’re doing?

[Primary Joe @Primary_Joe]

@ShakinthatChalk Have to say I disagree.

@DeputyGrocott One week left for us!

@LeeWoods0722 Placemats to tell people how to teach? Yes, it is.

[Primary Joe @Primary_Joe]

@DeputyGrocott Also vastly depends on school, parents, type of homework etc.

If you’re at a school where children generally receive little support at home or have many EAL parents, is a child doing their homework at After school club or breakfast club beneficial?
