Year 4 teacher (previously Y6, 2, 3, 4), computing leader, NPQML, inspired by creative teaching and learning. Lover of ☕️ , 🎭 and 90s music! All views my own.
A4: drama can be incorporated into anything. It’s how we create scripts, understand concepts and develop connections. There isn’t a subject I haven’t used drama in. There’s even drama in the staff room sometimes when the printer goes! #primaryrocks

A3: use specific labels on all documents (not Thursday or Lesson 5 etc), prepare your day all in one go either early morning or day before depending on printer availability, talk to your office, site and cleaning staff - they know everything! #PrimaryRocks

HEAVEN HELP US - @UKLabour has now tried to justify why it won’t support the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones - so will effectively be supporting the Government in stripping back our right to protest & allowing it to use an unprecedented abuse of power to get away with it!
Carly says 'St Patrick’s in Southampton stand with all other education staff to ask for our pay to be funded fully and not taken from existing school budgets which will only negatively impact the children we teach.'
We are the NEU and we will #SaveOurSchools
The latest teachers strike in England is today. 3 mins on what's happened to teachers' pay since 2012. The average teachers' salary has reduced in real terms - and more so than some other professions. Produced by Michael Cox, Rob England, Robert Cuffe. https://t.co/Kg3nSo3agh
#SaveOurSchools teachers across England strike again in support of a 🚨fully funded🚨 pay offer. We don’t want to cut budgets AGAIN. We don’t want to be outside the school asking for fair pay, we want to be inside doing our jobs but we are consistently underfunded. #PayUp
A4: everything we’re not paid to do. We’ve done a lot of our extra stressors to ourselves by taking on too much because we care for our children and their education. We need to stop as it’s broken our profession and we need to stand up for ourselves. #PrimaryRocks
A3: everything I can get my hands on! Every day is a school day and every time I teach something I tweak with new understanding and better ideas stolen from everywhere! Thanks Edutwitter! #PrimaryRocks
@PrimaryRocks1 15 mins every day. Done in conjunction with handwriting. I’m trying to move away from handwriting books with the extra red lines to normal lined a5 books because that’s what my children write in!
