Burnout isn't due to a lack of motivation. It's caused by a shortage of capacity.
There are more interesting people and projects than hours in the day. The key question isn't whether you have interest. It's whether you have bandwidth.
Enthusiasm is boundless. Time is finite.
Incredibly proud of how well my children have worked in writing lately. These end products are testaments to their efforts over this last unit which was writing a Non Chronological Reports of a fictional planet. #edutwitter#year4#writing
This is only my opinion but if you want to mitigate learning loss from the pandemic for your child (or any child) read aloud to or with them from a challenging & engaging book at or slightly above their comfort range for independent reading as much as you possibly can.

@mossmontmomery We have two very proud and extremely excited Year 4 boys because we are about to start Max and the Millions for our reading for pleasure book!
My class have got into the habit of calling out “connection!” every time they spot a link between our current book and another we’ve read before - so I decided to map them! Blank spaces left for new books to be added :) (this looked so much better in my head 🙄) #readingrocks
Some of the work my bubble have done today. We were looking at inventors who contributed to the things we use in everyday life #Blacklivesmatter@MalvinsClose@b_jones101
I have loved teaching my lot this year. A huge thank you to all them and their parents or carers. Hopefully this won’t be as long as it could be. Stay safe 4B x
