Year 6 teacher, mother of boys, married to @the_dantona - waiting for an education secretary who respects teachers... views are entirely my own

[Jo Purkess Beckett 💛 @beejow]

@ANewChapterBks I'll be reading When the Sky Falls with my Y6 class - changing things up as I usually go with Letters From the Lighthouse - I'm trying to be a bit more adventurous in my choices for my class as I tend to stick with 'tried and tested' favourites!

@redgierob @edshed I think you do a pretty good job already! I particularly like that I can set so many different types of assignment from one dashboard, and I love the new spelling scheme
But, something that would be REALLY amazing is the Literacy Shed writing units as ready to go powerpoints 🙂

@Mat_at_Brookes @Scallywagpress @nickswarb @DeborahFielden @_Reading_Rocks_ @eyfs_teacher @Alibrarylady My favourite - beautiful illustrations, an eerie - almost gothic feel, and a huge twist at the end!

Interesting to see the new plant-based diets calculator released by @WWF https://t.co/EO6tTJSjzF

Finally bus arrives... NOT just coming, but just the next timetabled bus... driver completely unaware that we'd already paid on previous bus - AND its only going to Wallingford and not to Reading! @thames_travel

[Jo Purkess Beckett 💛 @beejow]

@thames_travel Waiting for an X39 or X40 outside the Westgate, bus arrived, we got on and paid, as did 20 or so others, and then the driver asked us all to get off again! Now been waiting 15 minutes for the second bus he said was just coming...

[Jo Purkess Beckett 💛 @beejow]

@thames_travel still no sign of the bus that was 'just coming'

[Jo Purkess Beckett 💛 @beejow]

@YDawson5 @CalSocialHermit @MaffPotts Me too!

Why did Claude Monet paint the same water lilies in his garden more than 250 times?

Well, for Monet, they were different every time...

With the Little Book of Humanism & the Little Book of Humanist Weddings out in the world, @andrewcopson & I - & a team of humanist celebrants - are now working on the Little Book of Humanist Funerals - with some wonderful thought-provoking quotes & passages. Here are a few (1/9)

@MattHancock It is an outrage that so many elderly parents died because of your negligence. It is an outrage that you committed adultery . It is an outrage that you broke covid rules while we kept them. It is an outrage that you are still an MP, paid from our taxes. THAT is an outrage.

[Jo Purkess Beckett 💛 @beejow]

@WallingfordMus Completely unsettled by this, given that I live opposite you and so that duck is looking straight at me...!

[Jamie Smart @jamiesmart]

🚨Okay so we haven’t even properly announced this yet, but my promo copies of Bunny Vs Monkey book SEVEN just turned up.
🥳It’s out in January, but if you want to be one of the first in the WORLD to own it then just RT this tweet and I’ll pick a couple of winners at random!

[Jo Purkess Beckett 💛 @beejow]

@DeputyGrocott @EE I did! I renewed my contract last week, when the £50 upfront cost was mentioned, I just said, 'Oh, I've never had to pay an upfront charge before!'and they promptly took it off!

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK @CovidJusticeUK]

Earlier @38degrees flew over the @imacelebrity camp with a message for @MattHancock from us.

He isn't a 'celebrity', he's the former health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules.
