@IMcMillan Good morning Ian, loved your piece on bell ringing yesterday. How might I contact you via email, the one on your web-site seems to bounce?

@sally_hines @BarnsleyFC I try to keep off here as much as possible but just popped back to check the abominable posts from our PM, so thank you for posting this I had not seen it. A thing of beauty indeed.

@TracyAnnO Thank to you and all the cast for your tremendous production. Thoroughly enjoyed it and so important. The creative arts have much to show us all, particularly at this time. Thank you. @LeedsPlayhouse

@paullewismoney Well this exchange is governed by it, and is the product of it, every minute of your life your body is working according to it. So while ever there is life on earth it will be governed by it. Even when splitting hairs it must follow......

@adamboxer1 I have it on good authority that children enjoy your lessons and that you probably at least consider that is important. So it is not mutually exclusive from good teaching strategies. Though I imagine and fear edutainment is being suggested.

@adamboxer1 @ejsearle I learned this some yrs before at another school,inherited a group with clever but lazy and disruptive boys. Held them back and had "a chat" Next lesson in a stage whisper one said "Come on we are supposed to be friends now with sir so we have to behave!!" The kids know

@adamboxer1 I once inherited a group where the previous teacher had "managed the group well" when I asked how he said, it took 6 months, loads of kahoot quizzes and chocolate. Nightmare!!!

@IMcMillan Just a thought. The other highlight of my Christmas so far was watching some of our local Birdwell primary children makaton signing through Away in the Manger. With your inclusivity theme I wonder if some of your local primaries are doing the same? Thanks again.

Lovely evening tonight with @IMcMillan and friends in Darfield. One of those lovely gentle community events, that there are not enough of. Thanks for the invite @Gargarin

@IMcMillan It was a collection I had not seen before, lots to enjoy. I also liked Just a minute (being someone who celebrate pi day 14th march and looks out for palindromic dates) and Postman Pat's Brothers, I even sang it out loud to my wife 😂

As I know he is still on here I just wanted to thank @IMcMillan once again for his funny but thought provoking poetry. Came across this book in a charity shop. It is definitely not just for children. Destiny Girls and Visiting Grandad were almost too much for me.

We’ve been in Ripon today. They are posh round here, the pot of sauce sachets came with a little pair of scissors to snip the ends off. And it was super posh as they weren’t tied to the table with a string

Good evening sorry to bother you. @cinspkevinsmith We had a club member pushed off their bike on Sunday by a passenger in a car. Two cyclists down one needed to go to hospital. It has been reported, what is going to be the best way to keep a track on what is happening with this?

Sadly I no longer feel that I wish to continue with this platform @elonmusk . Sorry to those people like @IMcMillan @teacherhead @dylanwiliam and many others whose opinions and comments I value, from now on I will be concentrating on #threads #instagram and #bluesky
