Mr Penn

I am the proud teacher of Year 4 & 5 at @CastleSchoolSSH. All views are my own.

@CaptHarryHorne Hi, are you still offering pirate walks in Bristol. Worked with you for a school trip in 2019 and wanted to revisit… email bouncing back though…

One young man spent ages at home drawing a map of Roar just from his imagination (based solely on the description; he hadn’t seen the map at the start of the book)! When we were choosing our next class read, #ReturntoRoar was unanimously voted for! Thank you, from Dunster Class!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

Hi @JennyMcLachlan1, I just had to tell you - my Yr 4/5 class have all been (without exception) spellbound by #TheLandofRoar this term. They’ve been desperate for our daily instalments, have loved our little cliffhangers and they’ve been inspired to make up their own worlds too!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

Amazing... spellcasting at its finest!

As part of National Poetry Day and a project with #DoncasterStories, Year 5 really enjoyed exploring and learning Jackdaw from the beautiful #TheLostSpells by @RobGMacfarlane and @JackieMorrisArt recently. Here is a sneak preview of our performance! @PhilShepp @Literacy_Trust

@missrob1234 Congratulations! Where is the photo taken if you don’t mind me asking? That castle looks amazing!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

Had a great demo from Russell of this great new app. Never seen the team so on board!

We're proud to be supporting thousands of pupils & parents across schools with our digital reading record app from September. Tired of losing reading record log books? It's time for a change. https://t.co/kLnAch7AuD or join one of our webinars: https://t.co/9idxHlKZym #edtech

Very excited for us to finally be heading into the world of Digital Reading Records in September, thanks to @GoReadUK! Take a look - it makes so much sense! #nomorelostbooks #paperless #readingrocks

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@GoReadUK Hi, awesome - thanks for getting back so quickly. I’ll be in touch on email...

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@GoReadUK Hi there, I'm English lead at my school and we're looking for digital alternatives to reading records for September. Couldn't find any way of finding out more or obtaining a quote on the website... can you help please?

🚨 MUNDANE TWEET ALERT 🚨

We’re trying to put together our wishlists for the big September order and we’ve not been very happy with the children’s handwriting pens this year. Any recommendations? 🖊 #handwritingpens #preptember

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@Infeducation @susie_dent @MrWalkerPrimary @literacyfocus @PieCorbett @BobCox_SFE @MrsWood_teacher @AnnaTomasik_22 Looks fun!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@_MrLevick I’d love that, if I were a head!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@Toriaclaire @Infeducation Thank you! 🤞🏻

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@_MrLevick Thanks for the reply. I think it’s going to be hard to do full reports though isn’t it? A) We haven’t been with the kids for weeks, and some aren’t engaging at all with online learning. B) We haven’t taught them half the stuff!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@_MrLevick Awesome! Can I ask... what are you being asked to do report-wise? Are they the same as usual, or a condensed version due to lockdown effects!

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@Seesaw #SeesawChat - staff at my school are wondering if there is any way of scheduling posts and announcements like we can with activities? I’ve had a look, and I think the answer is no?

[Mr Penn @ThisIsMrPenn]

@MrBWHealey Hi Brett, this is an awesome idea. Is there any other platform on which you can share your video? I don’t think my pupils can access Twitter.
