@RogersHistory I usually let classes sit next to who they want for the first lesson to work out the tricky dynamics. I always tell them that this will inform their planned seat so they should choose wisely.

@engteacherabro2 Imitaz Dhaka would be a good place to start.

@engteacherabro2 Depending on level of comprehension, dual coding.

@engteacherabro2 Universal themes and moral messages - parent:child relationships in King Lear; healthy romantic relationships in Romeo and Juliet; appearance versus reality - Richard III and public perception.

@MissJLud @bestpracticenet Fingers crossed! The week of my assignment little one wasn't 100% so I got very good at typing one handed and enlisted about 3 proof readers as I was so tired!

@llewelyn20 Stumbled across Jeff and Elaine's latest visit at 3am this morning. You are saving a sleep deprived mother's sanity with these tweets!

@MissDSays After being a workaholic my entire career I'm now on maternity leave. Time away is giving me headspace to reflect that the profession is actually toxic to an extent, especially with the expectations put on by Govt.

@engteacherabro2 Roasted red pepper, tomato and feta pasta. Pop all three in a dish with some olive oil and mixed herbs, roast in the oven for 20 minutes, blitz with a hand blender and stir into pasta. Salad on the side. Makes a great day after lunch too!

@Katy_primary97 I'm 8 weeks in and I've found having one thing planned every day is key. Gives me something to aim for and I write it on the calendar so I can visually 'see' the activities. Also, feel free to drop me a DM 🙂

@maggie_erewash @RishiSunak @SteveBarclay @NeilDotObrien What about the fallout of cancelling HS2 - too many of your Erewash constituents have and will suffer due to this.

@edmunds_dr Currently seeing the light at the end of the tunnel - daughter is nearly 7 weeks and shifts have been a lifesaver for us. We also have what can only be described as processes for overnight - everything laid out and easy to hand. Stay strong, you're doing great!

[Mrs S @SouthernSnowy]

@maggie_erewash @DHSCgovuk Sweeping statements re: waiting lists here, Maggie. Surely you might be better off keeping diagnosis and treatment targets for those with cancer diagnosis?

@PepsMccrea A spider on a desk. There is always screaming, throwing of an exercise book and three amateur Steve Irwins ready to assist. Has cured me of my spider fear as I just get on with removing it from the room to restore peace!

[Mrs S @SouthernSnowy]

@Positivteacha The fact that you're willing to try for your child is brilliant. I'm currently 9 months pregnant, feel like a house and am covered in bruises from injections my entire pregnancy. People stare but I'm trying to swim now to build the confidence for when baby is here.

@FunkyPedagogy I'm just about to start maternity leave and may steal a few ideas for myself and little one - thank you!

[Mrs S @SouthernSnowy]

@MrsRPatel @Team_English1 I think I remember there being one in 'Essays for Excellence' by Becky Jones and Laura Webb.

[Mrs S @SouthernSnowy]

@LauraLolder @Team_English1 @SPryke2 @teachals I have some scanned documents from a book about life in Victorian Derbyshire - includes 19th century writing on Christmas, Work House life etc. Would be happy to DM over.

[Mrs S @SouthernSnowy]

@GillianKeegan @Conservatives Oh, the power of words. I think you'll find that instead of 'delivered', a better choice would have been 'made claims that have not yet been evidenced'. As everyone in education knows, you can talk the talk, but its not worth a thing if you can't walk the walk.
