We certainly enjoyed the sunshine with our young carers group this week… and lots of ice cream! New outdoor toys courtesy of our PTA and ice cream courtesy of @waitrose. Both were a total hit 😄 #YoungCarers #SchoolClub

I've just had the call. I've refused entry. This is an interesting phone call.

Doing this for everyone for our school staff everywhere!

@sainsburys , why do you still stock a plastic-wrapped pack of two kitchen rolls, when you stock an identical pack, except it is wrapped in paper? Same amount, same price? #environmentallyfriendly #plasticfree

Excuse me? This guy is our education secretary? 🤦‍♀️😫

[Beth Costar @BCostarTeach]

Agreed… all should be celebrated. Shock horror this is a Daily Mail published article …

Our first live awards event at Aureus. A great turnout, some amazing awards given out and lots of clapping and cheering to celebrate years 7-10. Well done to everyone who received an award tonight. #creatingfutures

@TeachLeadAAli It sucks 🙃

[Natasha Porter OBE @NPorter_]

Just reminded that 312,000 children have a parent in prison each year
65% of boys with a parent in prison end up in the criminal justice system themselves
312K is a big number. It's about half of all children in a year group. Or 13 children per school.
But the cycle can be broken

[Beth Costar @BCostarTeach]

I’ve been looking forward to giving the celebration assembly all term - celebrating the positives is the best part of the job. Absolutely heartbroken I’m in isolation AND missing the last day of term for Xmas (my favourite school day of the year) 😞

[Beth Costar @BCostarTeach]

@mrsmusicdrama @TeachLeadAAli @drewmorrisok @CarolynSaul Thank you very much!

[Beth Costar @BCostarTeach]

A fab end to the week - staff and students coming up to me to tell me how much they enjoyed my #assembly (I’m not a fan of giving assemblies, although it’s getting easier with practise…) and my first two seminars down for my #MSc in L&T which were interesting! #grateful

[Aureus School @AureusSchool]

[Aureus School @AureusSchool]

Year 7 have made an impressive start in English this week, working on the key skills that are needed from the get-go, from Year 7 all the way up to GCSE! #creatingfutures #workhard #achievegreatness

[Beth Costar @BCostarTeach]

@AbingdonLT_EHT This was certainly something we had on our list - I know I’d be happy with a queue-jump lunch pass!

What are your favourite rewards for students that are inexpensive but sought after? Eg for attendance? #edutwitter #education #schools #Secondaryschool #teacher #teaching
