If schools are closed in coming weeks, let’s do all we can to put books & reading back to the heart of any home-based learning #lovereading #books

@deputygrocott Twinkl have announced free access for teachers and parents/carers in affected regions or where schools are closed. I guess this could be online access or be activities printed and given out?

[Voice of a Teacher @VoiceOfATeacher]

@debrakidd Some schools due to break up for Easter on 27th March and others not til following week. Will affect different regions in different ways so will it be nationwide decision, I wonder?

A child’s behaviour is not always what it seems. Although difficult to remember at times, how often do we struggle to see beyond the surface in day-to-day teaching?

[Voice of a Teacher @VoiceOfATeacher]

Fantastic! Can’t be many places like this, surely. Let’s make it a thing 😊💜

[James Johnson @MrJtalks]

Oh my goodness! It’s happened again. I love this. Our head allows every member of staff to have a Christmas shopping day. He covers that person for the day. It’s so great to work for a school that values wellbeing. #Christmas #Wellbeing #teaching

You’re not a bad teacher if you’re snappy sometimes or the lesson doesn’t work or that everyone else does this or that and you don’t. You are there, you are a constant, you are yourself - that is as valuable a commodity as anything in education today.

[Voice of a Teacher @VoiceOfATeacher]

And the same for some Saturday reflection ☺️

[Stephen Drew🔸🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @StephenDrew72]

As it is Friday, all teachers should take a few moments to consider the amazing things they have done since Monday to make the lives of their young people better. Whether it is academic progress, pastoral care or simply bringing joy to a child’s life, you have made a difference.

Year 6 teachers - (on average) how often do you read a class story/book/novel to your class?

[Voice of a Teacher @VoiceOfATeacher]

@smithsmm I love reading to a class. It is one of my favourite bits of being a teacher 💜

[Voice of a Teacher @VoiceOfATeacher]

These look fab 💜

[Miss H Jones @_Miss_Jones_]

Bought a fab bunch of books the other day! A great way for children to learn about inspirational women from history. ✨📚

If you are KS2 (but not Y6), how often and in what way do you teach SPaG? Discrete lesson? A little every day? Mornings? And do you call it SPaG or something else? #teaching #edutwitter #PrimaryRocks #ks2

Chancellor pledges £400m for 'little extra' for schools https://t.co/jg0ggbsmSW

[Ben @Mr_B_W]

If I was a non-teacher who read certain sections of the press, the phrase #littleextras would absolutely fit with my pre-existing ideas about greedy, grabbing teachers. As I tell Y6 about authors, politicians don’t choose words at random.

[Jonathan Simons @jonathansimons]

I’ve watched 15 budgets and almost as many PBRs / Autumn statements. I don’t know for certain, but I suspect #littleextras is perhaps the single most tin eared announcement I’ve ever heard announced in any of them #Budget2018

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

What 'little extras' will your schools spend money on? I think we'll go for limousines to bring teachers to school and evian water in fountains for pupils.
