So proud of my school @StMatthews1875

A fantastic picture to demonstrate what our lovely school is all about. 2 inspections in 5 working weeks-8 areas of inspection-5 ‘outstanding’ judgements. And we’re so much more besides.

@DanSmithAuthor @StMatthews1875 No, thank you! The Cold War is not a theme we'd normally cover in primary, but my children have wanted to find out all about it solely because of your book. It's wonderful how you make a period of history and its themes come alive, and feel relevant and important to children.

[Michelle Saunders @Seaweed_shell]

Thank you @DanSmithAuthor - what a fantastic story! My year 6 class @StMatthews1875 has loved listening to 'The wall between us' as our class story this term. Much discussion and learning about the Cold War has followed our read!

#OnThisDay in 1858, a seminal journal article comprised of papers by Alfred Russel Wallace FRS and Charles Darwin FRS on the theory of evolution by natural selection was published by the @LinneanSociety, the first public announcement of the theory. https://t.co/xCid7qBpO5

I honestly can’t cope with how good my daughter is at speaking Spanish. She has the accent, the understanding. Has navigated every situation I couldn’t. She may have struggled in school but she would pass any real life exam with her ability to cope in real context conversations.

Hi - I’m running my whole class reading in KS2 training on Monday 31st of July at 3pm if that sounds like something you’d like to attend. How to plan/deliver/run the room/support varying levels of reader etc. Retweets appreciated.

@MrBoothY6 I had booked for the session but missed it due to being delayed bringing school children back from a music event today! Will you do this again at some point as I'm gutted I missed it.

[St Matthew's Prudhoe @StMatthews1875]

Thank you @ymteam for a fantastic experience at this year’s primary festival! #Bold #Brave #MiniVinnies @dioceseHN @EthosBWCET1

Love @DanSmithAuthor books. Can't wait to read this in the summer holidays.

If you've done my reading training or read my blog (RIP) in the last couple of years, you'll know what the Tues/Weds/Thurs sessions of Whole Class Reading that I teach were always designed to link together, ie three poems, three texts on WW2 and so forth. Sorry this is a thread

[Michelle Saunders @Seaweed_shell]

Thanks @LorraineCoghill and @ogdentrust , we had a fantastic day!
